Control Resonant trades shooting for a shapeshifting sword because "melee is cool", its creative director tells me Preview | Control Resonant warps Manhattan and hands players a transforming melee weapon for an action RPG like no other

Control Resonant isn't just a sequel, it's a mirror.

Oh yeah, big time. I respect some of the series' lore building, but for me it's always the chuckles when it gets wild that keeps me coming back.

Resident Evil Requiem gives you its best gun first, smartly making the urge to horde magnum bullets vital for the whole game Now Playing | Capcom is on target by asking you the loaded question – just when should you pull the trigger?

I can't get over how smart it is for Resident Evil Requiem to give you its best gun from the beginning.

In May '25, a beloved Australian games website was sold off. It went dark then, a month later, rose from the dead but stuffed full of gambling links and AI authors.

It wasn't the first time, or the last time, this exact thing had happened. And it's still happening.

Alice Madness Returns creator American McGee is making a spiritual successor, and he's not worried about EA: "There's a kind of obvious overlap, but not one that gets us in trouble with the lawyers" Interview | American McGee has another pretty grim story to tell

american mcgee worked on doom and quake, but even more importantly to me, he created ALICE ⚔️

EA controlled the IP and strangled it ⚔️ mcgee went into retirement ⚔️ but that's all in the past. he confirms to me a spiritual sequel to ALICE: MADNESS RETURNS is coming

4 hours in, Resident Evil Requiem has already trumped Resident Evil 7 as the scariest yet Now Playing | Grace Ashcroft is so me, for real

Sadly my role as Video Producer on Eurogamer's YouTube channel has been made redundant. After 7 years it's a heart-breaking goodbye, but I'm thrilled to announce that I'll be continuing to create the deepest of dives into videogame lore on my own YouTube channel! 🔍

After 25 hours, Resident Evil Requiem keeps me coming back for one more replay thanks to these 8 fantastic features Feature | Resident Evil Requiem has lured me back to Raccoon City

So far, I keep finding new things to love in Resident Evil Requiem! While I wish a couple of more linear sections were a little less time-consuming on replay, it's got so many bits that are simply a blast. Just a lovely horror space to play in across action and terror.

I'm craving a Vampire Hitman thanks to this underrated RPG series that almost cracked the supernatural stealth code Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong's delightfully devilish infiltration missions show how the supernatural franchise could evolve its video game offerings

Remember when Swansong gave us a taste of Vampire Hitman? (They fear he is writing about Galeb Bazory again).

Uh-oh, I can't stop playing Vampire Survivors' new roguelike deckbuilder thanks to this free Steam Next Fest demo The Vampire Survivors creator crawls out of the coffin with an equally chaotic roguelike deckbuilder in Vampire Crawlers

What if Bloodborne was on PS2? This horror is so old school even the dev insists to try the free Steam Next Fest demo No Vacation For An Executioner is a baroque and distressing PS2-style Souslike with immaculate vibes that you need to try for yourself

I truly do not understand the Resi 6 turnaround, but I'm not a really a mercenaries guy. Cool melee animations is about all I can give it.

I didn't expect obscure level pack Rayman Designer to be my biggest nostalgia trip of the year, but it's become the highlight of this anniversary collection for me Now Playing | More than bonuses, Rayman's level packs give a taste of 1990s gaming's most underrated feature: iteration

Returning level packs from Rayman Designer and beyond have been the secret sauce keeping me playing Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition. Also a reminder of the joy that the simple level pack could bring.

Always fun to do, but always with a calculator in hand! Often, I'd make one or more mistakes in making them add up to 100, which would usually be corrected before printing.
