September's big patch for Control will improve stability on all platforms, developer Remedy has promised.

Gear 5's PC port is a remarkable piece of work. In fact, in my opinion, it's very, very close to being one of the best PC conversions of all-time. It builds on The Coalition's phenomenal work on Gears 4, but goes several steps further, with graphics options and assets that even outstrip the Xbox One X version. And I can't help but wonder: were elements of this version designed with one eye trained on the consoles to come? The scalability on show here goes significantly beyond additional precision in graphical effects - though obviously, you get that too.

While Computex 2019 coverage has been dominated by new Ice Lake mobile processors from Intel and Ryzen 3000 processors from AMD, Nvidia took the chance to announce a new batch of G-Sync Compatible certified displays - and explain why so many of the best gaming monitors flunked out of its certification process.

UK internet providers must block access to websites which enable Switch game piracy, Nintendo has successfully argued in court.

After teasing it four several months, MegaCrit has finally announced the fourth character to arrive in its roguelike deck builder - The Watcher.

Don't worry Fire Emblem: Three Houses fans - if you recently purchased the Expansion Pass but encountered a game-breaking bug, that's now been fixed thanks to today's Nintendo Switch system update. Guess you could call it a teathing issue.

Exactly as previously promised, Capcom has offered the first look at its mysterious new Resident Evil game, Project Resistance.

"Never work with children or animals" - an age old showbiz rule the Sea of Thieves developers learned the hard way yesterday, after getting puked on by a monkey in the middle of a livestream.

It's all change again this Wednesday for Sea of Thieves, with current limited-time event Dark Relics making way for the new Smuggler's Fortune.

Originally written for the Dreamcast's 10th anniversary, this retrospective from Dan Whitehead is still a remarkable tribute to Sega's final home console. We're republishing this today, the 20th anniversary of the Dreamcast's launch in North America, as fans worldwide celebrate that legendary 9/9/99 release date. (Though Europe had to wait until 14th October.)

Right now, more than a thousand people are watching the UKParliament channel on Twitch, which exclusively shows what's going on in the House of Commons.

EA Sports has released the ratings for the top 100 players in FIFA 20, and this year Lionel Messi is on top.

Forget 0-60 - if you want to go from sitting idly on your sofa to a state of pure focus as fast as a turbo-charged Toyota Yaris WRC goes from a standstill to breaking the national speed limit, then there's really no better fix than your common garden rally game. Nothing else asks so much of its players, busying them with a relentless succession of turns and ever-changing terrain. It's an improbable sport - I still can't quite believe people are allowed to thread weaponised hatchbacks around narrow country roads at such speed - that makes for almost impossibly challenging games, and I love both all the more for it.

Borderlands 3 is coming out later this week, and around about now you'll be seeing reviews appearing on other sites of Gearbox's long-awaited looter shooter. As I write this, though, we've yet to receive review code - and we're not the only publication to be in that situation.

Nintendo has patented a new Joy-Con design which would allow for controllers shaped a little differently - with the top half of each tilted downwards.

Last month, one of my close family members passed away. It wasn't a surprise: he'd reached 90, his health was deteriorating, and we all knew it wouldn't be long until it happened. But no matter how prepared you are, it's always a shock - and on the evening I found out, I spent several hours on the shorefront trying to process my grief.

It's almost been a full year since we saw two truly horrifying Mario stories pop up on the internet. Within the same week, Stormy Daniels compared a part of Donald Trump's anatomy to "the mushroom character in Mario Kart", while the internet went into meltdown over Bowsette fan art.

It looks an awful lot like Pokémon Sword and Shield will be the first mainline Pokémon games to have an autosave function, something which has the potential - if nothing else changes - to drastically impact how the most dedicated players actually play the game.

Lance McDonald, the modder behind a number of cool hacks in Bloodborne and Dark Souls, has turned his expertise to Hideo Kojima's PT, discovering some brand new and absolutely horrifying information.

The new, HD version of Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles now has a firm release date for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, iOS and Android.

First off, there's something you should know about me: I'm a total, unashamed scrub when it comes to most video games. I'm the king of cheese; the leg-sweeper extraordinaire. If there's an easy mode, I'll take it. And yet, despite all that, I'm loving my time with Iceborne, the hard-edged expansion for Monster Hunter World - itself a breakout success for the long-running, much-loved series, earning 13 million sales and the title of Capcom's best-selling game to date.

Sony has created new artwork for games in its just-announced Only on PlayStation Collection - and it is gorgeous.

Just in case you missed it given all the other Nintendo-flavoured news this week (I'm still reeling from that rubber ring with a Joy-Con stuck in it), Dontnod's supernatural action-RPG, Vampyr, is coming to Nintendo Switch later this year.

Shinji Mikami's horror classic rises to current-gen platforms and PC this week in what is undoubtedly a definitive release of the game - a remaster that polishes the already superb 2002 GameCube remake for a new generation. As shown from our early PS4 hands-on, character models are redesigned, the mansion's lighting model is overhauled, and certain backdrops get the full, polygonal 3D treatment. But with a PC release also let loose, is it possible to edge its visuals any further at max settings?

If you've been struggling with the audio issues plaguing the Nintendo Switch port of Deadly Premonition Origins, I have good news: a patch is apparently on its way.

Bethesda has teamed up with Rebel Distillers to create a Doom-themed alcoholic spirit called Doom Bone Vodka.
