I love Mario Kart. I have done for a long, long time. Blasting my way round the Nintendo 64's Kalimari Desert with my brothers is probably one of my core memories (I assume you have all watched Inside Out).

Twitch streamer Miss Mikkaa is back at it with another Elden Ring challenge run.

We're long past the days of Guitar Hero, Rock Band, and their plastic instruments. I've still got a whole band's worth knocking around somewhere gathering dust, relics of a very specific era. Going into a Game store and nailing one of the hardest Guitar Hero tracks in front of a crowd is one of my favourite gaming memories - and my proud dad, funnily enough.

If you're anything like me - an awful friend and family member who never knows what to get anyone for Christmas - you'll be racking your brains thinking of fitting presents. Well, here's a novel idea for the Eurogamer fan in your household - a fresh line of t-shirts with a range of splendid designs.

High on Life doesn't care whether you think it's terrible, so why should I waste your time spelling it out? This is a vapid action game and an empty, ramshackle satire locked in a defensive crouch of indifference towards both your and its own existence. It views being played as an ordeal for all concerned: as one shopkeeper tells you the second you appear, "the longer you take in here, the longer I have to look like I give a shit". Tallying its faults is giving High on Life more attention than the game proposes to deserve, so take the hint and click away.

The story so far with the next generation of PC graphics cards is fairly straightforward: it kicked off with the launch of the RTX 4090, which delivered flagship performance across the board, backed by a vision from Nvidia of a whole new era for PC gaming with ray tracing at the forefront. The story turned sour with RTX 4080 - a fine GPU with an excessively poor price-point. AMD is striking back right now with its RDNA 3-powered RX 7900 XTX and 7900 XT at a point where Nvidia's 4080 misstep offers the Radeon team the biggest opportunity in years to strike back. The excitement is palpable, the prospect of competition against a dominant market leader is mouthwatering - but while the RX 7900 XTX in particular can impress, there isn't quite the killer blow here many would have hoped for - and there's palpable disappointment with RX 7900 XT.

Magic is at the core of Forspoken. Athia is an other-world full of wonder and mysticism and evil sorceresses, while protagonist Frey is given spectacular superhuman elemental powers. There's a surprising dollop of comedy too among the occult grandeur.

Pokémon has reached its ninth generation with Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, representing the series' first foray into an open world.
