Retro game remakes are tough to do well - in addition to making old games playable on modern hardware, you've also got to understand the intent of the original creators to keep the spirit of that game alive, especially if you're looking to produce a proper remake rather than a mere remaster. Perhaps that's what makes Pocky and Rocky Reshrined, a 2D scrolling action game for Switch and PS4, so compelling: it was developed by the same core staff that created the SNES version of Pocky and Rocky 30 years ago.

Riot Games has launched two of its previously revealed League of Legends spin-offs - Ruined King and Hextech Mayhem - with two new titles now confirmed for release next year.

Slick and overly downbeat, Lara's latest sees the reboot trilogy end just as it began. Care of a battered hand-me-down disc, Tomb Raider 2 is one of the very first games I remember playing that had something resembling character. Lara Croft was an unstoppable force, smirking in the face of danger and racing forward to the next challenge. She was beautiful and curvaceous, yes, and intelligent too. She was also a millionaire who could afford home gyms and butlers and walk-in freezers - she didn't need the money or the infamy that all these dusty old relics provided. [Read More]

It's been just over a month since Halo Infinite launched on Xbox and PC and if you've had your eye on Razer's Halo Infinite-themed peripherals like the BlackWidow V3 gaming keyboard and the DeathAdder V2 gaming mouse, you might want to keep reading. We've spotted some pretty decent price drops on these two spartan-worthy accessories. Currys reduced the Halo Infinite Edition Razer BlackWidow V3 to £139 just before Christmas, but it has since been discounted even more. [Read More]

Yandere Simulator, an in-development anime game in which you murder schoolchildren and take pictures of girls' pants, has been banned from Twitch - much to the annoyance of its legion of fans.

Wow! Bad news! [Read More]

It's not a PC-style mini-tower - really, it isn't. We've spent some time with Xbox Series X at Microsoft's Redmond campus and even put the actual system side-by-side with an Xbox One X - and while it's clear that Microsoft has radically revamped the console form factor, it is still a living room friendly design. It's just somewhat different and definitely somewhat portlier than the kind of gaming box you may be used to. [Read More]
