  7. Pokémon Go's raid update captures a fresh lease of life

    It's been a year since Pokémon Go launched and become the kind of global phenomenon other games dream about. Kids played it, adults played it. I played it quite a bit. Here in the office, we'd go eat lunch in the park with our phones out, spinning the nearby Pokéstops and calling out nearby spawns. "Anyone need a Diglett?" "Dratini!" "Just another Zubat." Pokémon Go was everywhere - on US chat shows, on The Simpsons, on Donald Trump's Twitter. Even Jeremy Corbyn had a go.

  17. Arizona Sunshine PSVR plays best with the Aim controller

    Review | Arizona Sunshine PSVR plays best with the Aim controller

    Two hands are better than one.

    Arizona Sunshine on PSVR is a nightmare to control with Sony's Move controllers. The game, originally released for the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift late last year, is a VR zombie shooter that allows the player to wander around a dusty desert landscape blasting the undead in the head whilst dual-wielding a large number of real world weapons.

  19. Is Annihilation Mode enough to save Dawn of War 3?

    To put it in the crudest possible terms, when I hopped back online to try out Dawn of War 3's big update last week there was, for a period, just one public game in the multiplayer lobby. One. In a major, multiplayer-focused PC game, available on Steam, and less than a month after launch. Checking in for games throughout the day - and to be sure this wasn't just a mid-morning lull - I saw at most half a dozen live at a time. It's no anomaly. Perhaps even worse, last time I checked there were as many active games in the server browser of Soulstorm, an expansion to the original Dawn of War, that was released back in 2008.

  22. Hellblade's Q&A will be with its heroine mo-capped in real-time

    DmC: Devil May Cry developer Ninja Theory made waves last year when it showed off its incredible motion-capture tech, developed in Unreal Engine 4, that portrayed the titular heroine of its upcoming viking epic, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, rendered in real-time. We could see Senua rendered in-game while her actress, Melina Jeurgens, acted out the very same scene in a funny mo-cap suit beside the screen. Now, Ninja Theory is using this tech for the world's first real-time video Q&A with an animated video game character.

  23. PES 2018 proves that slower can be better

    PES 2018 proves that slower can be better

    Gimmicks, Griezmann and gegenpressing: hands-on with this year's model.

    Usain Bolt? Really? The recent announcement that the world's fastest man is to feature in Pro Evolution Soccer 2018 seems a strange, misleading and possibly even misguided step. PES has earned its reputation not on gimmicks, but by taking the sport it simulates very seriously indeed. A headline-grabbing move this may be, but it's also a little desperate, and not very PES at all.

    TumbleSeed is toning down its difficulty after only 0.2 per cent of players could finish it

    Dev says it's "pretty unlikely" the game will recoup its costs.

    TumbleSeed is a very good video game.
