Xbox Just Gave PS Plus Its Biggest Free Game For June

I’m drinking more water, grilling, planning my first trip to a pool, and starting to run the air conditioner. Memorial Day is over, and the Summer Vibes are here. It’s a time of the year when sometimes I want to be outside, but the heat keeps me in. But with one of this month’s free…

Hey PC Gamer, where’s your 007 First Light review?

Astute observers of videogames will have noticed that today, May 26, is when reviews for IO Interactive’s 007 First Light started to get published.

The Odyssey box office won’t matter — it will be the biggest movie of the year regardless

A while ago, I made a foolhardy bet with a friend: I bet that Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey would make more money than Avengers: Doomsday at the global box office. I think I’m going to lose that bet. (Apart from anything else, I forgot that China loves Avengers movies.) But I think I’m going to…

League of Legends “not open” to third-party skins: “The tone of your game completely changes”

I have very strong feelings about third-party skins in videogames. Warzone. Overwatch. Fortnite.

‘I do think Blow misunderstood what the game is about’: Derelict Star made Jonathan Blow rage quit, but it’s the most fascinating indie platformer I’ve played for years

A couple of weeks ago on X, someone reposted Braid and The Witness creator Jonathan Blow into my feed. He was sounding off about a new indie action-platformer called Derelict Star that I hadn’t heard of, but which has quietly gained an audience among movement platformer enthusiasts since its release in early April. Blow was…
