Rebellion has a strong track record of delivering great games with its in-house tech. The proprietary Asura engine delivers solid performance across a range of platforms, including the Nintendo Switch. But there's definitely a sense that the core engine technology is of a distinctly last-gen vintage, lacking certain key features we've come to associate with current-generation software. Sniper Elite: Resistance, is another cross-gen title - so it's probably best to temper technical expectations somewhat - but has the engine been pushed further than 2022's Sniper Elite 5 and how does performance and image quality fare across all four current-gen consoles?

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 released for PC via Steam and Epic just yesterday, Thursday, 30th January, but it's already sitting on a "mixed" rating on Steam. Read more
It's a testament to the legacy of Rescue on Fractalus! that, 40 years after its release, I can still describe its trackless and turreted landscape of fractal mountains. Depending on when video games were most formative for you, it could bring to mind any number of other games. It might be Titania in Starfox, Beggar's Canyon in Star Wars: Rogue Squadron, or maybe Roca Roja in Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown. Read more
Elden Ring Nightreign network test codes haven't even been distributed yet, but a number of scalpers are trying their luck and listing their free, currently non-existent codes for hundreds of pounds on auction sites. Read more
Just weeks after it looked like a Sleeping Dogs film would never materialise, Marvel star Simu Liu has suddenly revealed his involvement in still making one happen.
My son is all-in on Xbox. On the TV he only plays Xbox. He prefers the Xbox UI and services (not that he'd use that term, he's not a robot), the Xbox controller, and the fact that he has Game Pass on there. He has multiple Xbox hoodies and bemoaned the lack of an Xbox birthday cake in the supermarket that was selling a PlayStation-branded one. When I ask him if he thinks he'll prefer PlayStation one day, he's typically pre-teen: "Why would I?" he replies as if talking to the world's dumbest man. He's not a console warrior, but it's fair to say that Xbox is his life. Read more
Hello and welcome back to our regular feature where we write a little bit about some of the games we've been playing this week. This week, we hunker down from storms and pray for the safety of our tiles in Dawnfolk; we put a full-stop on Resident Evil Village but find ourselves ruminating on the fate of chickens; and we return to No Man's Sky yet again, as it expands, yet again.

John Gonzalez, lead writer on Fallout: New Vegas and Horizon: Zero Dawn, has announced his return to Obsidian Entertainment after 14 years elsewhere in the industry - but not, he suggests, to work on a Fallout: New Vegas 2.
MultiVersus players who bought the premium Founder's Pack have hit out at Warner Bros. Games for cancelling its free-to-play live-service fighting game before they had a chance to redeem all of their rewards. Read more
Developer Warhorse Studios returns imminently with Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, the next chapter in its historical RPG built on CryEngine technology. This time around, we're looking at a purely current-gen release on Xbox Series X, Series S, PlayStation 5, and of course PS5 Pro. In putting the last-gen PS4 and Xbox One systems aside, the team is able to focus its efforts on optimising for a beautiful recreation of an early 15th century Czech Republic on these four platforms and PC, of course. First impressions from the area of the game set aside for the preview period certainly impress - and it was a genuine surprise to see a 60fps performance mode added to the mix, bearing in mind how CPU-intensive the first game was.
