The PSVR2 is here and in my humble opinion it’s brilliant. One of the best things about it though comes from reading all the comments on this site from new PSVR2 owners who are having their minds blown after finally being able to experience VR for the first time!

Like A Dragon: Ishin is a game that requires a bit of explanation. The game itself is a side-story in the Like A Dragon franchise, which was up until recently known in the west as Yakuza. Its original release came all the way back in 2014, but the game's heavy reliance on Edo-period Japanese history meant that its initial version was only released in the developer's home country, on PS3 and PS4 no less. Some nine years later, the game has finally been localised for international audiences and dramatically updated with modern technology - in this case, Epic's Unreal Engine 4. So the question is, does the game hold up on the latest consoles and PC - and what are the plus and minus points of jettisoning the developer's bespoke Dragon Engine in favour of Epic's ubiquitous middleware?

If you've been spending some time running around Sons of the Forest and wondering what, exactly, Kelvin can do - besides knocking your treehouse down, of course - I have good news; developer Endnight has plans to buff your companion along with your three-legged lady pal, Virginia.

London is a weird city, full of idiosyncrasies. Primary schools sit on the same street corner as late-night kebab shops, serving meat and chips to boozy partygoers. Million-pound houses are sometimes a few feet away from neglected council estates. And Victorian-era churches lay abandoned on the same road as a local gym. Put simply, London is what happens when you procedurally generate a real-life city.

Images of an Xbox Series S-themed toaster have popped up online.

Rumour has it, a first-person mode is on the way to Fortnite.

Clive 'N' Wrench is a throwback 3D platformer created by one developer, Rob Wass, working for over a decade. As you might imagine from that, the end result is both heartfelt and fiddly. It's a fascinating trip back to the glory days of the PS1 and N64 collectathon platformers that the developer clearly loves. It's also filled with glitches and floaty jumps that are hard to land. It has input lag at times, and if you're playing on Switch there's a lot of loading.

Those Who Remain developer Camel 101 has announced its next project will be a "heart-pounding first-person action-horror adventure" called Beneath.

Less than a year after Meta ramped the price of its Meta Quest 2 VR headset up by $100, the company is slashing prices back down - albeit only on the 256GB model and only by $70 - starting this Sunday, 5th March. It's also discounted its pricey Meta Quest Pro by $500.

Warframe's ambitious The Duviri Paradox expansion - which was originally slated to arrive last year before getting delayed into 2023 - is finally almost upon us, with developer Digital Extremes having now confirmed it'll be launching this April. And while you've got your diary out, it's also announced a date for this year's TennoCon so you might as well jot that down too.

If you had high hopes of hunkering down for a spot of Wii U Mario Kart 8 or Splatoon multiplayer this weekend, there's some bad news: Nintendo has pulled both games offline while it addresses a security vulnerability, with no hint as to when servers may return.

I was drawn to Caelyn's review of Phantom Brigade by a lovely bit of video game maths in the header: this is Into the Breach meets Frozen Synapse, apparently. What an intoxicating thought. The chess-puzzle precision of Into the Breach with the stark, time-bending shenanigans of Frozen Synapse. Surely this is a game for the ages?

With the release of The Super Mario Bros. movie approaching, the film's cast have been doing the rounds to promote it, as one would expect.

Let's be honest, "Minecraft's 1.20 update" wasn't exactly a phrase that tripped off the tongue, so thank goodness for developer Mojang, which has now officially given Minecraft's next major release a far more memorable name: Trails & Tales.
