Building an ideal party is one of my favourite things to do in any roleplaying game where the cast size matches a Wes Anderson flick - purely because, in the good ones, there's no right answer. You can prioritise your most-loved companions over any real strategic logic. Heck, I sometimes just pick the characters who I think look cute together, regardless of whether they've spent any on-screen time together. Unicorn Overlord is a strategy RPG all about that lovely party tinkering, and this time, the cast is instead as big as one of those animated sitcoms that have been on air across a couple centuries.

Capcom has shared a first trailer for Street Fighter 6's next playable fighter, Akuma, who'll be joining the game's steadily expanding line-up sometime this "spring".

Capcom's Monster Hunter Stories remaster will launch for Switch, PS4, and Steam on 14th June. Additionally, Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin - the acclaimed second game in Capcom's lovable RPG spin-off series - releases for PlayStation 4 on the same day.

Describing games as "X meets Y" is often considered a little gauche. At its worst, it's a lazy and reductive habit - and one that can result in some truly awful headlines, in which two popular games with tenuous connections to the one actually being written about are unceremoniously smashed together.

Developer Turn 10 Studios' previously promised overhaul of Forza Motorsport's controversial car progression system arrives today, 11th March, on Xbox Series X/S and PC.

Genshin Impact is one of the most popular games in the world and perhaps China's chief video game export, but even knowing that I was surprised to learn that domestic compatriot OnePlus has created a special £699 Genshin Impact Edition of their (£649) 12R smartphone. Not only that, the phone is based around a single character from the game - the purple-haired Keqing - who I imagine must have been selected as the face of the brand after quite a bit of research.

Supporters, I'll be recording a brand new episode of behind-the-scenes podcast Inside Eurogamer this week - you know, that podcast that's exclusively for you - and part of it will be given to answering your questions, so what would you like to know?

Players have been experimenting with Dragon's Dogma 2's character creator and finding ways to make familiar faces such as Kratos and Shadowheart, or pushing it to its limits with some... unusual physique.

Following the end of its open beta last year and a social media tease, the multi-franchise Warner Bros. fighter MultiVersus is back. Earlier today, Player First Games announced its free-to-play game is set to launch on 28th May.

Of all the games people on TikTok could get excited about, they've decided it's one about shipping containers - one about surviving at sea on a pile of shipping containers for 30 days. It's called 30 Days on Ship, appropriately and somewhat bluntly, and it isn't out yet, but there's a trailer being shared that shows a character opening a never ending string of containers to find fridges, drones, motorbikes, chainsaws, televisions, quad bikes - all manner of goods that might be shipped overseas. Quite why you'd need a quad bike on a teetering pile of shipping containers, though, I don't know.

Some ideas planned for Amazon's Fallout adaptation had to be nixed, because Bethesda has them earmarked for Fallout 5.

Virtual Reality is without a doubt the best way to feel like a superhero without having to actually leave the comfort of your own home and do something dangerous. I've featured a couple of offical titles on VR Corner in the past, like Iron Man VR which nails the feeling of being Iron Man way better than it nailed giving us some varied missions.

Even the most diehard Star Fox fans will likely admit it's one of Nintendo's most mismanaged series. I could sing Star Fox 64's praises all day; those fantastic space battles in the Arwing mean it's one of the few games I continue revisiting. However, later entries left the series struggling to establish a cohesive direction. Adventures wasn't originally a Star Fox game, Command's strategic gameplay didn't universally appeal, while gimmicky controls significantly hampered Zero.

Former EA and Microsoft exec, Peter Moore, says there are "serious questions" to be asked about video game hardware and whether or not there's a future for the traditional home console system.
