Haunted Chocolatier is the next game from the creator of Stardew Valley, which is fairly obvious from a quick glance at the screenshots and first gameplay trailer we’ve seen. But even though there’s a solid resemblance between the well-loved farm sim and ConcernedApe’s next community sim, there’s a lot that is going to separate Haunted…

Sand Land proves once again that Akira Toriyama and video games are a perfect match. Before I was even old enough to qualify as a teenager, I was obsessed with the works of Akira Toriyama. Dragon Ball, Dragon Quest, Dr Slump, Chrono Trigger – everything Toriyama-related I could get my hands on blew my 13-year-old…

Even as someone who considers themselves to be well versed in the fighting game community’s language and terminology, I’ve always found Tekken to be uniquely…

Call of Duty, just like any competitive game that achieves success, has a cheating problem. Some players will always want to cheat, cheat sellers will always sell cheats, and developers fight to stop such behaviour ruining things for everyone else. So back in 2021 publisher Activision announced it was getting serious about anti-cheat: kernel-level serious.…
