Resident Evil 3 is another killer remaster from Capcom. Raccoon City has been recreated in stunning detail, peppered with realistically abandoned spaces, charming in-game advertising, and devastating environmental storytelling, while labyrinthine level design full of challenging nasties makes exploring a delight.

Sony and Naughty Dog recently delayed the long-awaited The Last of Us Part II indefinitely. With that in mind, it seems likely new footage or concrete information will not surface anytime soon.

A movie featuring a dismembered hand being stuffed into a character’s mouth might signal a tone of ridiculous violence early on, rather than start with relatively sitcom-y domestic troubles.

Resident Evil 2 was the first game to ever leave me with a true sense of fear and terror. The creeping quiet of the Raccoon City Police Department building is something that still fills me with a sense of foreboding, even decades after the fact. And it isn’t even due to the game’s numerous jump-scares, […]

Since it launched into Early Access this past Monday I’ve spent about 20 hours with Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord so far, and it definitely makes a mixed impression.

Final Fantasy 7 is one of the most beloved games ever made, and one of the weirdest.
