Form an orderly queue, as transcendent crowd puzzler Humanity is coming to Xbox.

Endless Ocean Luminous is the third game in a series I have never played, but that hasn't mattered a bit. It's a diving game and I can barely swim, but that hasn't mattered a bit. It's a game in which nothing much happens, and what does happen only happens very slowly. Don't mind.

Considering the huge success of the Fallout TV show, it may be surprising that Bethesda doesn't have a new game to coincide with its release.

So you want to be a pirate, eh? Well, what with today's double whammy of a PlayStation 5 release and the launch of Season 12 – bringing with it, among other things, the first new weapons since 2018 – now seems as good a time as any to discover (or rediscover, if you're a lapsed player) Rare's swashbuckling multiplayer pirate game.

Let's be honest. Whenever playing a Jackbox party game, the urge is always there to make things a little bit more risqué than the developer may have originally had in mind. Don't lie, we all do it.

We're seeing a lot more in the way of small form factor SSDs pop up on the market for use with the seemingly ever-growing sector of handheld games consoles including the likes of the Steam Deck, Asus ROG Ally and more, as people seek to add even more internal storage.
