Throwback RTS Tempest Rising is one of my favourite games from this year, a spectacular and thrilling tribute to Westwood's tragically absent Command and Conquer series. I thought its twin campaigns were pretty much perfect when I reviewed it a couple of months back, which is possibly why its first major update focuses mainly on multiplayer.Titled the "Rally and Recon" update, the patch substantially expands and refines player-on-player warfare. Its...
28 Weeks Later Nearly 22 years after Danny Boyle shook up the zombie genre with 28 Days Later, the director makes a return to the saga of the infested with this week’s 28 Years Later. As the title implies, it’s been a long time coming. After making future Oscar-winner Cillian Murphy a breakout star and earning over $70 million worldwide on a paltry $8 million budget, 28 Days Later earned...
I was seriously impressed by Terminator 2D: No Fate when it was revealed earlier this year. I love the idea of a tie-in that's authentic not only to the events of the film, but also the era of gaming in which the film was released. Developer Bitmap Bureau seems to have largely nailed the authenticity on both counts, too, showing some excellent 16-bit adaptations of the film's characters, and playable...
Although No More Room in Hell 2 launched into early access a little too early for its own good, I still think it was a better zombie game than it gets credit for. Not only did it capture the essence of zombie horror with its eerie, pitch-black nights and undead hordes that seemed fairly unthreatening right up until they steamrollered you in their dozens. But it also had a clever...

When you launch Rematch for the first time, a little pop-up will warn you that the game is "best experienced with a controller." After ignoring that to see how it felt with my beloved mouse and keyboard, I'm not sure I agree; while the mouse controls take some getting used to, they may be preferable depending on your comfort level with thumbstick aiming.A controller gives you more freedom of movement...
Someone had to do it: An exceptionally skilled Elden Ring Nightreign player has soloed all eight Nightlords (and the new enhanced boss) as its squishiest character. And if my eyes don't deceive me, I think they did all of them in a row.Reddit user PotatoFoSho calls it the "solo gremlin challenge" in reference to the flood of memes that depict the Revenant as a tiny angry doll usually wielding a...
Sloclap's 5v5 soccer game Rematch came out strong yesterday, racking up nearly 93,000 concurrent players on Steam alone—impressive by any measure, and particularly so for a Thursday afternoon. Today the studio put an even bigger number on the scoreboard, saying Rematch pulled in a million players in its first day of full release."One million unique players in 24 hours," Sloclap wrote on X. "Seeing so many of you jump into...
28 Years Later might be the third entry in the horror series, but the moody film feels like it could be a standalone work – right up until its final moments. The post-apocalyptic coming-of-age story from director Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire) and writer Alex Garland (Civil War) plays with time and perspective, only revealing the importance of its first scene with a cliffhanger ending that sets up the next film...
Body horror luminary David Cronenberg's films are all thematically related, but 1983's Videodrome and 1999's eXistenZ feel especially like a diptych. Videodrome is about the virtual reality created by televised mass media ("television is reality, and reality is less than television") and eXistenZ is about an immersive VR game that erodes the realness of the world in a more explicit way.eXistenZ is the more traditionally entertaining movie, with an eerily...
