Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 and 4 is both a bolder and more conservative sequel to its 2020 predecessor. In the nearly five years that have passed since Vicarious Visions remastered Pro Skater and Pro Skater 2, new developer Iron Galaxy has stepped in to remaster 3 and 4, adding a few ideas of its own and making a strong case that the studio should be given the reins to...
During a routine scroll through Hulu’s Newly Added Movies feed, surrounded by Treasure Planet, 28 Weeks Later, and other typical licensed library additions, I spotted a film I had genuinely never heard of before. This is a rare case for me: I would never claim to have seen every new movie that winds up on streaming, but based on the 27,000 emails I get every day promoting upcoming releases, I...
Marvel Rivals is constantly adding new ways to give us more control over how our characters look, from heaps of premium cosmetics to costume customisation in Season 2. NetEase has taken this a step further now with ultimate customisation, which lets you tweak ultimate ability VFX and UI. Just like the addition of customisable costumes, however, it's not as simple as you'd hope.If you're looking for more ways to perfect...
While the new ultimate customisation feature in Season 3 of Marvel Rivals is cool, I think accessories are much more fun. These are little charms that you can attach to your character that also add a cute little animation above your KO prompt, though it's not quite as extensive as I'd hoped—or what you'd expect from other games, like Overwatch 2. The good news is that they're actually free, unlike...

After watching the Ghost of Yōtei State of Play stream, I'm convinced it'll be the sort of sequel that's more interested in refinement than reinvention. The 30-minute presentation showed off a lot of gameplay, particularly focusing on Atsu's expanded arsenal of blades and a new interrogation-based exploration system that looks really neat.Oh, also there's a lo-fi beats to murder to mode with original tracks by legendary anime director Shinichirō Watanabe...
It's not just you: Steam is down right now. If this were a Tuesday around this time that'd be no big deal (Valve does maintenance every week), but on a Thursday, it's a cause for greater concern.The store will sometimes load, but it's running very slowly if at all right now. According to SteamDB, over half a million people have checked in to see if the service is down, and...

It offered future ghosts more details about Atsu’s weapons, her journey across Ezo, and new and returning presentation modes. Ghost of Tsushima’s Kurosawa Mode was a wonderful homage to the great Akira Kurosawa, director of some of samurai cinema’s best films, like Seven Samurai and Yojimbo, and it’ll...
