Fleeing the intolerable glare of another weekday morning, you take the spiral stair that runs around the elven bulk of the Treehouse, and after hours of climbing, reach the Primrose Door. The light within the Tree is soft as syrup, spilling across a realm of marble, gold, and…

Playground Games has confirmed the PC requirements for Fable, roughly half a year ahead of its launch on 23rd February 2027. In the end, they’re a fairly straightforward looking set of specs for the minimum, medium and top end expectations, as you’ll see. The new…

Sundays are for resting, so I hear, though by the time you read this I’ll have got up at 5:30am to drive my parents-in-law to Gatwick Airport. As such, I’m probably not the best authority on resting, or, indeed, Sundays. Nonetheless, I have gathered some quality…

I've been hungry for an action adventure game recently. In this modern era of live service and infinite roguelikes and deckbuilders (seriously, I know they're popular genres, maybe try a different highly replayable genre), the humble action adventure game has fallen by the…

Things are shifting around a bit over at The Long Dark developer Hinterland Studio. Earlier this year, The Long Dark's story mode wrapped up with the release of Wintermute's fifth and final episode. After that, you may have fairly assumed that focus would have been mostly placed…

We're a little over one week on from the launch of Mortal Shell 2, a game that Jeremy liked quite a lot. But the work of a developer is never done these days, what with the advent of the internet and patches 'n' all. A balance patch arrived on launch day, but the Soulslike has…

There is a big part of me that doesn't really believe any aspect of Star Citizen is real. It's never really a game I've given all that much of my attention to, the thing gives off pyramid scheme energy in a way I can't quite explain. Probably something to do with the numerous…

While it's never been confirmed, some cut voice lines from the original release of Persona 4 indicated that once upon a time, the protagonist's right-hand party member Yosuke was romanceable. Instead what we ended up getting was a mostly quite homophobic character who never…

Having finally accepted and taken the opportunity to retire from a life of wandering the world, accepting jobs from all and sundry, and inevitably having to confront mythical monsters, there were few people who could probably bring Geralt out of retirement. One would no doubt be…

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…

I suppose, in a way, I asked for this. Crouched and cowering behind a garden fence, inches away from the thrashing, cleaver-faced miscreation who’d quite comfortably win in a fight against my splintering plank of rotten wood, I can almost hear Silent Hill: Townfall whisper…

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…

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…
