The LG A2 is the best, cheapest OLED you can get for the Super Bowl

Insomniac Games has released a public statement in response to layoffs at the studio announced this week by parent company Sony Interactive Entertainment.

Universes Beyond has been introducing elements from other series to Magic: The Gathering for the past few years, and Fallout will be the next IP to join the tabletop game, coinciding with the games' live-action adaptation hitting Netflix. MTG fans will already have half an eye on the second of the two Universes Beyond expansions coming in 2024, though - Assassin's Creed. Despite not releasing until July, items from the set are now available to pre-order on Amazon.

Fallout: New Vegas' director has revealed that a classic Shirley Jackson story inspires one of the Mojave Wasteland's most devilish vaults. 

Twitch has announced it will increase the price of channel subscriptions for the first time next month.

The TV adaptation of Fallout is due to air on April 12. To celebrate this – and because you need more Fallout in your life – Bethesda is launching an anthology of all the games in the series.

Helldivers 2 struggling with player capacities is nothing new, but its game director has a refreshingly new take on new players spending their hard-earned money on the game.

In the past few years, Metroidvanias and action-adventure platformers have seen a resurgence. Ori and the Blind Forest, Hollow Knight and Dead Cells have breathed new life into the genre, bringing fresh ideas to its established ethos. There's also a renewed appetite for challenging games. Dark Souls came around in 2011 and redefined what one could take away from a video game. They can be fun, sure. But they can be punishing, too. Fast forward a decade, and we now have people playing Elden Ring with a steering wheel. Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, Ubisoft's latest Metroidvania action-adventure platformer, assimilates elements from these games and subgenres to tread familiar ground, but it does so in its own unique ways.

Rumors of Xbox going multi-platform have dominated discussion of gaming consoles recently, and as the time draws close for Microsoft to make an official announcement on the subject, there's already enough information out there to make a reasonably reliable prediction about what games Sony fans can expect to make the PlayStation 5 transition. Initial rumors of Xbox's transition away from exclusivity came as something of a surprise, especially considering Microsoft's recent focus on acquiring studios to push strong exclusives. At this point, however, it's hard to deny that there's a shift happening, whether Xbox fans like it or not.

We've eschewed any Valentine's theming this year, but Edwin put this in our news queue last night as a sort of dare for our evening shift, and let the record show I am less of a coward than Graham Smith. The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood, a visual novel Tarot-themed card game from perennial (perhaps perineal, in this case) favourites Deconstructeam, was praised by Edwin in his review, and I was going to use the same strapline for this news post had he not got there first. Because now, in time for the season of romance, they've teamed up with sex toy purveyors Uberrime to create a frankly prohibitively massive dildo as an official tie-in for the game, which can be won in a free competition by three lucky people living in either the UK, EU, US or Canada (as in, they each win their own dildo; they don't have to time share).

Presidents Day sales will officially kick off on February 19 this year, but we're already seeing plenty of discounts across PS5, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, and PC on the shelves. From straight discounts on Microsoft's console to bundles throwing in free games with a PS5 Slim, there's plenty for console players to get involved with right now. Not only that, but we're seeing some super low prices on RTX 4070 gaming laptops and some record breaking discounts on PC accessories to boot. 

Two classic games from the Saints Row franchise are currently available for a very low price on the Xbox Store. The Saints Row games began on the seventh generation of consoles such as the Xbox 360. While most would consider many games from that era as lost treasures, the Series X and Series S surprisingly offer a chance to play some select older titles. Some backwards compatible gems even go as far back as the original Xbox.

Game developers are full of praise for Helldivers 2's character animations.
