Memory is one of the mind’s greatest mysteries. There’s no consensus on how it works or what memories even are. I once read about how a memory could simply be a recollection of the last time you thought about that memory. It struck me as being a very sorrowful idea, and one that combines neatly…

The Xbox Partner Preview showcase offered us a look at a number of the third-party games heading to Xbox Series X/S this year. We were shown a variety of trailers during the 30-minute presentation, including a taste of the Japanese mythology inspried Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess and the announcement of The Sinking City 2.…

Nintendo’s February Direct Partner Showcase has come and gone. This presentation was focused around third-party games so, as expected, there was no news on any homegrown Nintendo titles or the Switch 2’s expected arrival in early 2025. However, the broadcast was still full of annoucements for games headed to Nintendo Switch from other publishers over…

I’ve always found the concept of immortality to be horrific. How, as the years churn by, new memories and experiences drown the ones which lie at the foundations of your personality, eroding them until a new person inhabits your skin. You are not yourself anymore. Vampire mythology adds a physical stake to this curse –…

The story of Ash Ketchum and his loyal Pikachu’s story finally ended earlier this year – without them ever giving Misty a single penny towards a new bike. But, since the Pokémon franchise is an unstoppable force, fans already knew a new series was on its way in the form of Pokémon Horizons. Set in…

[ad_1] Contains spoilers for Tunic – you have been warned. I love how Tunic uses the process of gathering the game’s manual pages to build anticipation for later experiences in the adventure.

[ad_1] Stray captures the essence of being a cat, while delivering a deeper journey through a dying cybercity. Realising you’re lost is a moment of pure, cold, panic. Time inches past as thoughts tumble uncontrollably – was the last turn wrong? Why are there no signs in this town? And how did you get on…

[ad_1] All this week, Eurogamer is marking Pride with a series of features celebrating the intersection of queer culture and gaming. Today, Lottie Lynn explores her long relationship with Runescape, and charts the MMO’s journey toward welcoming queer inclusion. I find it funny how realising I was queer took less time than completing the Temple…

[ad_1] There are many ways to indulge in procrastination as a writer, from cutting down trees to reorganising your Pokémon cards, but running a bathhouse for spirits is by far the best ‘I’m totally working on my fantasy novel honest’ excuse I’ve ever heard. It’s also exactly what happens to the inspiring author protagonist…

[ad_1] Growing up I lived with a tabby called Twm. I say live with because it’s less that my parents adopted him and more he appeared in their garage one night and refused to leave. Twm had a nonchalant attitude about life – going about his important cat business unworried unless a thunderstorm was involved.…
