A skeletal-looking orc, with a huge spiky metal helmet, and a saw-edged sword, leers threateningly at the camera, so close you can almost smell its breath.

Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin review - decent but disappointing strategy

Cruel, boys.

A screenshot from American Arcadia. Think 1970s. A man - Trevor - stands behind a podium ready to address an audience, with a TV screen hanging behind him. The room around him is all oranges and reds, and he has a moustache and glasses and longish frumpy hair. And a tank top. Don't forget the tank top.

Review

American Arcadia review - a charming but simplistic spin on the Truman Show

Call of the TV.

Geno what I mean?

A bright and lively cut-scene image from Persona 5 Tactica. We see a feminine character in the middle of the shot planting a dazzlingly, glowing red flag. The four presumed enemies around the edges of the scene cower from its brightness.

Review

Persona 5 Tactica review - a welcoming spin-off aimed at strategy newcomers

Review

Like A Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name review - Kiryu makes an entertaining but superfluous return

EA Sports WRC review - a bracing and richly textured celebration of rally

Grippy ode.

Nov. 7, 2023 Josh Wise

A sweeping vista of an alien planet. It looks quite a lot like a desert scene from Earth, to be honest. The orange sand gives way to huge, jutting rocks. But in the background, there's a huge, low-hanging moon, and a turquoise sky climbing to starry black.

Review

The Invincible review - gorgeous sci-fi that doesn't quite take off

Science friction.

The young hero grips handholds on a rock wall on a sunny day in Jusant. Up ahead there are signs that the wall has been built upon.

Review

Jusant review - soaring design and skyscraping climbs

Topple down headlong.

The cast of Super Mario Bros. Wonder, including Mario, Luigi, Princesses, Toads, Yoshis and Nabbit. There is a curvey pipe in the background and a Yoshi and a Toad hold large flowers. Mario holds aloft a Wonder Flower, and Luigi has a huge cap that he can use as a parachute.
