The Legend of Zelda and Doom are both legendary, genre-defining titles from decades ago, but with vastly different gameplay, technical makeup and release platforms it's hard to find too many similarities between them. That is until late 2021, when solo indie developer DeTwelve released a Doom mod set in the original NES version of Hyrule called The Legend of Doom. It's a stunning mash-up that's well worth playing, as Digital Foundry's John Linneman and My Life in Gaming's Marc 'Try4ce' Duddleson discovered when they synced up to play version 1.1.0 of the mod alongside the original Legend of Zelda on original NES hardware.

When I first played the demo for Phantom Brigade, I realised it did something I'd been wanting from games for years. It's a turn-based game that uses the magic of our computer boxes to produce fantastic action scenes. Not only that, they're action scenes featuring giant robots, which astute readers may have noticed I have a fondness for. (Taking screenshots, I should add, has been an absolute joy, as I've scrubbed back and forth through each turn's timeline, rotating and zooming the camera to find the perfect angle of huge mecha smashing into each other and exploding.)

There's always a cause for concern when you think you've hit a wall early on in a game, or in the case of Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, at the end of what's meant to be its tutorial mission. Thrown straight into the thick of China's turbulent Three Kingdoms era during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, you find yourself up against one of its formidable leaders, whose strength has been enhanced by a cursed elixir. Surely this is meant to be a trick boss you're supposed to lose against, like in Sekiro? Or there must be an easy exploit right under your nose, as with Dark Souls' Taurus Demon? Fortunately, after almost an hour of struggle, I realised it was the latter, the price for turning on Chinese audio for authenticity but failing to read the subtitles during the thick of battle.

The road to Final Fantasy 16 has begun.

Cockpits and virtual reality are practically made for one another, with VR racing games delivering a sense of place and realism beyond anything you can experience on a flat panel. Many earlier VR headsets, like the original PSVR, were limited both by lower fidelity panels and hardware driving them. That makes the arrival of Gran Turismo 7 VR on PSVR2 exciting, with the entirety of the game now playable within virtual reality at a far higher level of fidelity. This no compromise approach has the potential to provide a truly killer experience, but does it deliver?

We're hot off the launch of PSVR2, and whilst it's received glowing reviews from our own VR expert Ian and the tech wizards at Digital Foundry , it's fair to say most people haven't bought one.
