On Tuesday, Build a Rocket Boy released MindsEye after a pre-launch period that was anything but normal. From one executive alleging that bad actors were funding a pre-launch smear campaign against MindsEye to other executives departing the studio one week before it came out, everything surrounding MindsEye has been weird. A representative for Build a Rocket Boy and publisher IOI Partners confirmed that Polygon would not be receiving a review...
When I first fired up The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, I didn’t expect to get sucked in. I’d never played the original 2006 version, and while all the chatter surrounding the remaster piqued my interest, I didn’t see That One Game With The Horrifying NPC Faces becoming a favorite of mine. It was just something on Game Pass I thought I’d try. I certainly didn’t expect it to challenge...

Requiem appears to reimagine the Resident Evil series, building on concepts introduced in the original game while shifting the focus back to horror over action.

A sold-out 700-strong crowd at the BBC’s famous TC1 studio in West London’s Television Centre was treated to an awesome demonstration of racing on Gran Turismo 7 on Saturday, 7 June. With a display of stunning cars gracing the Helios Circle outside the iconic venue, and a big screen relaying the action to those without a ticket, there was a festival feel as some of the world’s fastest SIM racers...
