Saturdays are for actually remembering that it's a Bank Holiday weekend, rather than forgetting and coming in on Monday and getting viciously annoyed with Julian and Mark for seeming to ignore your Gchat messages. (They do that anyway, regardless of whether it's a day off.) Read…

I am TONY STARK... and my brassy crimson pantaloons may have sprung a few leaks. A work-in-progress trailer for Marvel's Iron Man, an air-capable action game in development at EA Motive, has appeared online. You can find it on Resetera, though I imagine the video will be taken…

The era of generative AI has kindled an era of generative AI witchhunts. It's routine right now for videogame developers to fend off accusations of using the technology, even when they are full-throated in their disapproval of ChatGPT, Claude and their ilk. Recent examples…

The last Call of Duty game I played properly, and by that I mean I finished the campaign and spent hundreds of hours in the multiplayer was Modern Warfare. No, not that one from a few years ago, the original one on PS3. Since then I have dabbled, usually because the previous…

Attention, dusty creeps who want to play poker with the Wickerman! I found one, a videogame you might enjoy. That game is Hillthorn, a spooky investigative cardgame from Fool Moon and Finnegan Motors - the latter also known for beaming corpo thriller Inhuman Resources: A…

Another busy week here at TSA, compounded by two of our crew jetting off to Gamescom to play a million games in a few days. It’s a tough job, but someone’s got to do it. For those of us stopping at home, we’ve still had plenty of things to play, and I’ve…

Update 28/8: Valve appear to have taken action, changing the game's rating - the storepage can now be accessed in the UK. "It looks like Steam re-reviewed Future? No Thanks! and removed the 'frequent nudity or adult content' reverting the Germany geo-ban and the age verification…

Nvidia's DLSS 5 neural rendering tech, AKA the AI filter which was widely criticised upon reveal earlier this year for creepily yassifying a bunch of game characters' faces, is reportedly up and running prior to its planned release later this year. The folks to thank or blame…

Being a pope is a stressful job. That's true today, but imagine heading up the Roman Catholic Church in the 11th century. Back then, the leader of the Catholic Church didn't have access to a bubble car or a social media team. The good news is, when Crusader Kings 3's next…

Warlock is a game that intrigues me, taking a different approach to telling a tale in the Dungeons & Dragons universe. Instead of turn-based battles, or even top-down action RPG battling, this goes much closer to try and translate it into an open world action game. Kaatri is…

It's finally here! The preview for that extended look at a crime sim currently without a PC release date! GTA 6, or in the immortal words of Jack Nance, "Grand Theft Auto" [6]. After a long drought of anything actual concrete, we've now been flooded with details, like how it's…

Well, would you look at that, GTA 6 is a real video game! I'm sure by the time you're reading this you've either watched the Netflix preview, watched someone else watch the Netflix preview, or it's late enough that the full thing is available for the non-Netflix having…

I've watched it. The extended look at the game humanity's breath is currently held for. The one that doesn't have a PC release date right now, making it hard to know how to feel about covering it extensively if, say, your job revolves around writing about PC games. For today,…

The issue I have is, if you put a charming and slightly rotund biplane (or similar such vehicle) in a game, I'm just simply going to have to take a look at it at minimum. At minimum! Porco Rosso is my favourite of Hayao Miyazaki's outings, after all, in no small part thanks to…

We all know when GTA 6 is releasing because there are zero games releasing in November apart from it. Or, that would be true, if Devolver Digital weren't the miscreants they love to be. They've been saying for a while now that they'll be releasing a game come hell or highwater,…

Infamously simulation-heavy colony builder Dwarf Fortress is getting a Myth and Magic update that, at the possible risk of being maybe a touch hyperbolic, threatens to make all other fantasy game spellcraft look like a sleepy bout of Got Your Nose. It's summarised by Bay12…

After an entire decade without a proper new Silent Hill game, in the past three years we've had two completely new games (one of which was pretty damn good if you ask me), one remake, whatever Ascension was meant to be, and the laughably bad new film. A mixed bunch, to be sure,…
