Month: October 2025

Better late than never. More than five years after its initial console release, the retro FPS title Ion Fury is finally getting its DLC expansion later this month.

Short and suite. Looking for a pick-me-up on a chilly morning (or afternoon, or whenever you happen to be reading this)?

Fire Emblem, disengage. I’m always suspicious, a little tiny bit at least, of games that I play on my mobile phone. Not because I’m somehow wise to something about the platform others aren’t, but more because I’m old and remember the long and arduous ‘Trash Years’ (as I like to call them) of terrible, terrible…

Grace’s choice. Resident Evil Requiem, perhaps drawing inspiration from the added DLC for Resident Evil: Village, will allow players to choose from two camera perspectives for the main campaign: first-person and third-person.
