Month: September 2025

Code Vein’s sixth anniversary is upon us. Six years. It feels like only yesterday that I first experienced one of the best Soulslike games I’ve ever played, so you can imagine how over the moon I am that we finally have a sequel on the way. However, while I’m going to play it no matter…

After annoying absolutely everyone by singing “Moonbeam ice cream, taking off your blue jeans!” at the poor unfortunate souls who happened to know me in June of this year, Fortnite is perpetuating the Benson Boone earworm allegations. That’s right, Fortnite heads. You too will become a victim of the TikTok sensation with the latest emote,…

Much in the same way that 2025 has been the year of ultra-thin smartphones, with the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge and iPhone Air, it’s also been a big one for compact tablets. The latest of the shrunk-down devices is the Xiaomi Pad Mini with an 8.8-inch display, which makes it feel more…

Our latest round of Zenless Zone Zero drip marketing shows off Lucia, Yidhari, and Komano Manato as the characters coming up in version 2.3. They all have something in common – and it isn’t just that they’re all in the Spook Shack faction. Strangely, ZZZ’s Lucia seems to have undergone a bit of a redesign….

For years now, Apple has been trying to position the iPhone as a great way to play your favorite games. Back when Capcom announced that several Resident Evil games were coming to the handset, fans were excited to play them on the go. Unfortunately, until now, titles like Resident Evil: Village and Resident Evil 4…

A crossover we didn’t fully expect to see in 2025 is a Pokémon x CMLL lucha libre wrestling event – but we’re here for it, and it got the crowd going.

As a fan of both Metroidvania and platformers (especially the latter), I’m thrilled that the Build Your Own Platformania bundle has launched over at Fanatical. It’s a perfect opportunity to fill your Steam Deck library with titles packed with deep world-building and evocative narrative at a massive 82% off. From Cavern of Dreams to Pine…

Look, I’ll be honest straight off the bat – the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds 2nd Gen aren’t exactly a cheap solution. Sitting at a hefty price tag, these are an extremely premium option, almost ridiculously so, but that money gets you something that even those without the highly trained ears of an audiophile can appreciate….

Mobile contracts, even SIM-only plans with major providers, can be expensive subscriptions that lock you in for two years or, occasionally, even more. Suppose you own your mobile phone and want to avoid being chained to a corporation. Well, in that case, I recommend Smarty Mobile because right now its rates are the most affordable…

The Pokémon Company might have tried its best to stop it, but new creature-fighting games are afoot. Xbox’s Tokyo Games Show broadcast featured a new trailer for Aniimo, a cute adventure RPG where the titular creatures accompany you on a journey through the aptly named world of Idyll. Pawprint Studio announced the game a few…
