Forza Horizon 5 took the racing world by storm when it hit the market back in late 2021. From then until now, it has become the fastest-selling entry in the Forza franchise, along with becoming one of the biggest launches ever for an Xbox first-party title. The icing on this success cake is none other than the immense amount of praise the game received from critics and fans alike, leading to several high review scores and awards....

What can be said about the ill-fated Dexit that hasn’t already been said? The people behind Pokémon Sword & Shield decided to cut hundreds of existing Pokémon from the games, and it’ll be a tough road for the franchise to recover in the hearts and minds of many. However, GameFreak dropped a huge bombshell announcement recently when they revealed that over 200 Pokémon would be returning as part of the new DLC expansions....

The internet went barking mad over all the new information revealed in yesterday’s Pokémon livestream, but in particular the new breed Fidough, who yesterday became one of main topics of discussion on the internet. I’ve been asked (read, allowed) to bring you the best freshly-baked Fidough content that we’ve been enjoying. Consider this as a bit like a Paul Sudowoodo handshake. Right. Let’s get this bread. There’s been so much fanart of the different flavours and types of bread Fidough could evolve into....

Pokémon Go developer Niantic has now officially announced its overhaul of the Mega Evolution mechanic, which was previously leaked through datamined game files.

Nintendo has dropped the first major post-launch patch for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet for the Nintendo Switch. The update comes with an acknowledgement of the game’s well publicised tech issues, with Nintendo apologising to fans and pledging to work hard to fix as much as they can.

This will let players head to the Battle Stadium and play a series of online battles to try and improve their rank across a season....

Pokemon Masters is out now, and it has been gathering positive reviews so far; however, the game plays and feels differently from the mainline games in the series. Pokemon Masters focuses heavily on Sync Pairs which is a duo consisting of a Pokemon and a trainer. There are different Sync Pairs available in the game that players can collect, and each Sync Pair sports different Pokemon/Trainer combo, stats, moves, star-ratings, and max level cap....

From time to time, my gaming habit tends to change somewhat. Instead of tirelessly dodging blows from a boss in a Souls-like or wiping the floor with my enemies in a strategy game, I might decide to relax a little. That’s when I came across Potion Permit. This new game from MassHive Media and PQube promises a cozy and fun-filled experience as you attempt to cure villagers and help the town grow....

When The Wolf Among Us 2 was announced earlier this year, fans of the Telltale series were excited to learn that their long-awaited series would indeed be released at some point despite the abrupt failure and closing of the studio. Thanks to LCG Entertainment reviving Telltales Games as a new company, the beloved franchise won’t meet the same fate of its developer. However, despite the excitement among fans, they are struggling with the demons of the old management and how badly its workers were treated with severe development crunch....

There’s constant fast-paced movement, hitting other players, skilled goal-scoring, crisp passes, and fighting all rolled up into one experience. As impressive and complex as hockey games have gotten over the years, there’s something special about the ones that came out a long time ago....

Through manga, anime, and video games Dragon Ball Z has covered so much ground as a franchise that it’s almost impossible to be unfamiliar with the martial arts epic. With video games, specifically, Dragon Ball Z has had a rich history. Most games in the series’ early life were RPGs with many of them focusing on card-based movement and action. Those RPG elements have persisted through time, but when most fans think about Dragon Ball Z video games nowadays, they’re more inclined to think about the fighting games, and for good reason....

The battle to create the best gaming mouse possible has always been attacked from the point of speed, or the idea to create the fastest and most responsive gaming mouse possible. On that measure, the Razer Viper 8K is one of the best mice in the business, with Razer’s premiere wired ultra-light gaming mouse with a flexible cable and optical switches, souped up with a crazy-fast 8KHz USB connection. The Viper 8K is currently on sale for half-price, just £40, and we think it’s great value at that price....
