Gaming in Reunion. Reviews, Walkthroughs, News

Fallout 4 has hundreds of hours to play through. There is a compelling main narrative, a host of side quests and a heap of bizarre characters to meet as you trawl through the remnants of civilisation.

Bethesda titles are massive, with tons of loot to acquire. From the fantasy series of Elder Scrolls VI, to the sci-fi world of the future in Starfield, the one thing they share is a wide range of weapons. In the wastelands of Fallout 4, and thenew Fallout TV show, the weapons (and their cool names) are a major perk. Some weapons might give you an edge, but others feel as if they’re just for show.

For a little while, it seemed like The Walking Dead was eager to use its popularity as a platform to create an entire universe of zombified television. First, there was the spinoff/prequel Fear the Walking Dead, followed by The Walking Dead: World Beyond and then the anthology series Tales of the Walking Dead. Each one intermingled with the original show, but for the most part, they were intent on telling their own stories. Fast-forward to 2024, and the former two series have ended, while Tales got an order for another season last year with no further news.

Final Fantasy 14 Online is now available on the current-generation Xbox consoles.

Fans waiting for the final episode of Season 6 are wondering why the Love Is Blind Reunion is not working on Netflix. So, here’s all you need to know about its release date, time, and live streaming.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is a beautiful but bloated tribute to the original game, and part of that excess includes a large cast of characters that draws upon the larger world of Final Fantasy 7 media. At this point, it’s getting to be a bit like the Marvel Cinematic Universe, because Rebirth adds several characters who never appeared in the original, but did in some of the spinoffs. If you’ve just played either the original Final Fantasy 7 or Final Fantasy 7 Remake, then Rebirth can get confusing at points, since some characters from other games just show up out of the blue.

What if moogles looked like koala bears... with human teeth? I'm so glad you asked, because Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth gives us the answer. Horrifying. They would look horrifying.

After 2023’s onslaught of great games and 2024’s strong start, I’m not sure how anyone has room left in their backlog. But if you’re open to welcoming more discs into your life, you may want to pay attention to the sale on pre-owned games happening now at GameStop.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has only just launched, but many will already be racing towards the ending to find out how it's been reimagined for this remake trilogy. This is something that Rebirth's director, Naoki Hamaguchi, is all too aware of, having long decided that the big, shocking death from the original game would be the perfect way to end Rebirth.

It’s been a miserable week for people that like weather that isn’t just varying amounts of rain, though the odd bit of hail has helped to add a little variety to proceedings.

Spoilers for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth from the fourth paragraph onwards.

In the end, we know about as much as when we started. Expats, whose first episode started with some open-ended reunions — first a more charged one between Margaret (Nicole Kidman) and Mercy (Ji-young Yoo), and later a calmer, sadder meet-up between Hilary (Sarayu Blue) and Margaret — has left off with those same characters coming together, and the same indefinite feeling permeating their meetings.

Baldur's Gate 3 can be a challenging game, but Honour Mode is right there for the truly brave among the community that want that terrifying risk of permadeath for that extra sprinkle of realism. Ever since the mode was introduced, we've seen some heartbreaking stories of players falling at the final hurdle, being killed through no fault of their own, or making a single foolish choice only to be met with fatal consequences. I doubt you'll find a more tragic tale than today's though. Be warned, big spoilers are coming up.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's director says that reaching a Metacritic score of over 90 was one of the development team's goals when crafting the second part of Cloud's story. 

The weather outside’s been frightful for most of this week, so while my step counts have suffered, I’ve been getting plenty of gaming in. And it’s been Helldivers 2 that’s really sunk its claws into me, despite having to be a little bit patient to log in and to deal with a few gremlins along the way. It’s just a whole lot of fun, and really enjoyable for both short and sharp bursts with randoms and longer play sessions with friends.

The review embargo for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth lifted today, and although it's still very early, the Remake sequel is currently the highest rated game in the series' since 2000's Final Fantasy 9 on Metacritic, the video game industry's foremost review aggregation site.

Square Enix president Takashi Kiryu believes the company needs to diversify its gaming output, but also focus on fewer releases.

It's been nearly four years since Final Fantasy 7 Remake launched on PlayStation 4, and according to Windows Central managing editor Jez Corden, it might finally be on its way to Xbox.

Final Fantasy VII Remake gave fans of the original game quite a shock as Cloud and the party exited Midgar. Zack, the protagonist of Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII and a key figure in Cloud, Aerith, and Sephiroth's past, appears to be alive, and helped an injured Cloud reach Midgar. This stands in stark contrast to his fate in the original continuity, where he was killed and his Buster Sword was handed over to Cloud. 

Some 22 years after it first released, the cast of Max Payne recently reunited for a strange but brilliant Alan Wake 2 moment, absent one key member.

Final Fantasy 7 RebirthcreativedirectorTetsuya Nomura has revealed that there's one particular scene in the game that makes him want to cry. This article may contain spoilers for the original Final Fantasy 7.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is shaping up to be a pretty emotional game, as fans of the original will know that there are some proper tear-jerking scenes set to appear. Most of the speculation rightly surrounds the fate of Aerith and whether she'll get skewered by Sephiroth, but there are plenty of other highly emotional scenes in the run-up to that iconic moment.

If you have been awaiting updates on Steven Spielberg’s upcoming Bullitt project, then we have good news for you. During the press tour for Netflix’s Leonard Bernstein biographical drama Maestro, one of Spielberg’s producing partners Kristie Macosko Krieger gave us the latest on the movie. 

Captain Talar Oaktalon is one of the NPCs that can be found in Bel'ameth, the new night elf settlement in Amirdrassil. Will he captain a ship to Gilneas?

Adrian Monk has always been consistent. He’s never been a fan of germs, heights, loud noises, crowds, elevators, milk, or plenty of other things. But he knows how to solve a murder. Monk, the 2000s USA Network procedural centered around the fictional detective played by Tony Shalhoub, was not as consistent; after a few seasons, the show seemed to reverse-engineer its mysteries from the most uncomfortable situations they could put Monk in for an episode. The quality of the show suffered for it, but Shalhoub’s compassion and meticulous care always tethered the show to something.

The much-anticipated Genshin Impact Version 4.3 is right around the corner, and we’re thrilled to share some fantastic system optimizations that will enhance your gaming journey.

Baldur’s Gate 3 has taken an exciting leap forward with the recent unleashing of a 30 GB Patch. It’s a gargantuan update stuffed with meaningful content and silly little nods that I’m surprised it’s not DLC. It certainly weighs the part.

In 2002, Infernal Affairs paired Hong Kong stars Tony Leung and Andy Lau for a critically acclaimed seedy cop thriller about two moles trying to find each other out. In 2006, Martin Scorsese remade the film as The Departed, winning the director his first (and thus far, only) Academy Award, and beginning a never-ending debate over which movie was better. (Both rule.)

The Gala for Good, a charity event featuring many of Twitch’s top celebrities, has a secret second use: helping streamers get along. Blaire, who goes by QTCinderella online, organized the live charity event. In the end, it raised over $250,000 for organizations dedicated to rainforest preservation work. But the event didn’t just raise money; it also served to build community among creators, which has always been a focus of the popular streamer’s work.

The Our Flag Means Death season 2 finale leaves our merry crew in a nice spot: Sure, there’s some British Navy to hunt, but that’s an evergreen truth for pirates everywhere. And in the meantime, Lucius (Nathan Foad) and Black Pete (Matthew Maher) got married, with Zheng (Ruibo Qian) and the crew sailing off into the sunset looking content (and surprisingly functional, all things considered). Izzy (Con O’Neill) dies [sob] but does get to finally share a sweet moment with Blackbeard (Taika Waititi). Stede (Rhys Darby) and Blackbeard stay behind, excitedly settling into their new home together just nearby where they buried Izzy. It’s all very tender and warm-hearted, complete with Ed and Stede running towards each other on the beach for their reunion and confession of love.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will feature what is likely the most well-known event of the original, and of JRPGs in general, and it sounds like it will be surprising even for those who played the original.

It also looks like Alphen and the gang will be called upon to help with the aforementioned rebuild.

Dusting off an old game and cracking into your save file is always a gamble. Those batteries aren’t exactly famous for functioning decades after their prime, so I wasn’t quite sure what to expect when I popped my original Pokémon Red cart into an Analogue Pocket. Would it be a reunion with old friends or a bittersweet funeral with no guests? Amazingly, all my old pals were right there waiting for me, and it’s my pleasure to present the party I sent into the game’s Elite Four battles. Judge away, reminisce, but please, hammer, don’t hurt ’em. 

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is out early next year on January 26, and it's bringing back one of the series' best characters (sort of).
