I started running last year after reading Ben Wilson’s wonderfully Brysonian memoir, One Year Without Social Media, a memoir that properly soars whenever 5Ks and 10Ks are in the offing. I often walk with a stick for balance, so I assumed that running would be beyond me. It turned out it wasn’t. Sure, I have wallowed for a year, moving back and forth between the middle weeks of Couch to 5K, but I’m still running, and I haven’t fallen yet. Turns out I like running! I read books about it. I bought a snood. I talk to other runners. I…
Casey Hudson, the co-creator and director of the Mass Effect Trilogy, looks to once again be returning to space as his new studio Humanoid Studios has confirmed it is working on an “all-new science-fiction universe.”The news comes via Humanoid Studios’ updated website, where it states that “our current project is a multi-platform AAA game, focusing on character-driven narrative in an all-new science-fiction universe.” While that alone may not 100% mean the game is set in space, the website features four pieces of concept art (which you can see below) that teases an adventure that looks to very much take place…
With a physical E3 once again ruled out this year, and the show’s digital plans still uncertain, all eyes are on the big publishers to see how they might continue to fill the void left by the long-running industry show. And according to a new report, Ubisoft is currently prepping a “massive” showcase event of its own, where it could reveal the unannounced likes of a new Prince of Persia game and an Immortals Fenix Rising sequel.According to reliable leaker Tom Henderson, who cites “several sources with direct knowledge of Ubisoft’s plans” in an article on Xfire, Ubisoft currently has…
After a bit of a pause while Sea of Thieves put its pieces in place for Season 6, the multiplayer pirate adventure will soon be embarking on the second episode in its new ongoing storyline, Forts of the Forgotten, with proceedings getting underway this Thursday, 24th March.As Rare detailed earlier this year, Sea of Thieves’ new limited-time adventures will arrive on a monthly basis, each one propelling the events of an overarching narrative steadily forward. The first of these arrived (albeit in a somewhat underwhelming fashion) in February’s Shrouded Islands update, which set the scene for adventures to come when…
Developer Counterplay Games’ action-RPG Godfall will – after nearly 18 months of PlayStation and Epic Games Store exclusivity – be making its way to Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Steam on 7th April, arriving in a new Ultimate Edition guise.Godfall initially launched for PlayStation 5 and PC via the Epic Games Store back in November 2020 (and a PlayStation 4 version arrived in November last year), taking players and up to two co-op pals on a loot-drenched action romp – all clashing swords and smashing hammers – through a gorgeously wrought fantasy world.Read more Source – eurogamer.net All content…
Tokyo’s Shibuya district is one of the liveliest places on the planet. Day or night, it’s generally densely packed with people and positively thrumming with energy. Ghostwire: Tokyo shows us another side of this iconic urban hub, after a supernatural force leaves its streets eerily deserted. It’s a nightmarish vision, but an absolutely incredible recreation nonetheless – this city slice feels astonishingly like the real thing (albeit with more conspicuous shrines), and the game’s dedication to its setting is paired with an equal level of zeal for embracing Japanese folklore and tradition. The catch, however, is that it’s let down…
The Wii and DSi digital shops have been seemingly turned off with no prior warning from Nintendo.As reported by Eurogamer, both shopping channels have been down since March 16 with no indication whether it was done for maintenance or if Nintendo has taken them offline for good.Players have been unable to purchase new items from the Wii shop since 2019 and DSi shop since 2017, but its current state of being down altogether means players who’ve already purchased games digitally on the platforms are unable to officially download them.The main server, however, is allegedly still running, meaning games can still…

It’s all going on for Greg Buchanan. His still-warm thriller novel Sixteen Horses looks destined to become one of the books of the year, having filled window displays at Waterstones stores around the UK for the paperback launch in February. I’ve read it and it’s brilliant; dark, disturbing, fearsomely intelligent and utterly compelling. I couldn’t put it down. Such is the popularity of the book that it’s going to be adapted for TV. And there will be a follow-up book called Consumed that he’s writing right now. And he has a deal for a third, standalone, unrelated book he’s also…
It was during a lecture they probably should have been listening to that Sara Thompson doodled the Dungeons & Dragons Combat Wheelchair on the back of a textbook. They’d been talking about it for a while, the wheelchair, irked by a game that offered players limitless freedom to be whoever they wanted but still struggled to fully represent them. So they did something about it. A few years later, that Combat Wheelchair add-on for Dungeons & Dragons is on a third edition and has reached right around the world. It got the attention of writers working for D&D maker Wizards…
