When meeting someone for the first time, you don’t tend to start by eviscerating their personalities and pointing out all of their deepest flaws, but Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake doesn't shy away from insulting you and getting straight to the point. This is an old-school JRPG where how you approach your stats matters and it won't hold your hand to guide you through it. There are dragons. There are quests. And there are a whole lot of deaths.

Treyarch has shared more details on Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Season 1, including a look at its battle pass' rather unexpected new skins. These include a 'Raccoon Goon' skin for Niran, some kind of parasitic nightmare for Carver (see header image above) and a shark suit also for Carver, because why not. Read more
Imagine you're standing in a hallway in a game - what does the scene need in order to make it scary? Should we turn the lights off? Should we have a door where you can't see what's behind it, but you can hear something behind it? Should there be a threat somewhere, lurking nearby? Is music important?

When you think of Lego games, chances are your brain will go straight to one of the licensed Traveller's Tales games from the last 20 years or so. Whether it's Star Wars, Batman or Indiana Jones, there's no denying their joyful cycles of wild and wilful destruction, clackety building and reams upon reams of daft jokes over the years have come to define what we expect and want from any new licensed Lego adaptation.

After the gentle ramblings of Wandersong and the contemplative care package that was Chicory: A Colorful Tale, one of the last things I expected developer Greg Lobanov to make next was a Pokémon-style sports tactics game. But here we are regardless, and cor, I think Beastieball might be what I've been looking for in a Poké-like ever since my love for Pokémon proper began to wane around the Black and White era. I've dipped my toes back into the Poké pool more recently, of course, but I don't think my love for it now will ever be as strong again as it was back when I was a rabid 10-year-old playing Red and Yellow on my Game Boy. Partly because I'm a recovering Pokédex completionist and I just can't put myself in that kind of position again, but mostly because the innovations Pokémon's tried to introduce in more recent entries have all fallen a little flat for me.

Amazon's live-action Tomb Raider TV series might have found its Lara Croft. Following reports last month that Sophie Turner was in the running to play the iconic character, it's now being claimed the Game of Thrones' actor has reached the negotiating stage.
11 Bit Studios' harrowing side-scrolling survival game This War of Mine is ten years old today. And to mark the occasion, 11 Bit has unveiled Forget Celebrations, a new charity DLC being released as part of the game's continuing "mission to shed light on the civilian cost of war".
The Rogue Prince of Persia will receive an enormous new update, Second Act, next week on 21st November, that looks like it'll function as something of a full relaunch.
