A new year is upon us, but we still have time to take one final look back at 2022 to visit your Share of the Year moments. Here are this year’s epic highlights: justinphotomode shares Aloy framed by a machine’s wings in Horizon Forbidden West. __Auron__ shares a close up of the cat from Stray,

Several games have been accused of being little more than spreadsheets, but few have decided to lean into the allegation. That’s what EVE Online is doing later this year though, when developers CCP release their own Microsoft Excel plug-in.

Don’t expect The Last of Us HBO show to extend beyond the story of the two games in the series. That’s because The Last of Us game director Neil Druckmann says there are no plans for stories beyond the games in this show. This news comes by way of a new interview with Druckmann from The Hollywood

If you’re finding yourself missing Zack Fair and co’s original voices, then you might want to check out the Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 Reunion mod that brings them all back.

We’ve all watched those “Neighbours from Hell” programmes featuring boundary disputes, loud music and rubbish everywhere, hoping that we never end up living next to such people. However, the picturesque town of Raven Brooks is home to something a little more sinister than jungle music blaring through the walls at 3am. Hello Neighbor 2 once

Hey there — I’m Scott, Design Director at Heart Shaped Games, and I’ve been given the opportunity to share a bit about the unique design process behind our new sci-fi grand strategy RPG, We Are The Caretakers. A lot went into creating the game over its 4+ years in development, but I’d like to focus

The Overwatch 2 Battle for Olympus event began on January 5 but mere hours after the event began, players are already calling it the “worst event in Overwatch history”. Most of the complaints would rather the free-for-all mode be replaced with a PvE mode so they can enjoy the event with friends, while others are

On a spring afternoon in 2016, at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles during the E3 videogame event, I crossed the stage between a packed house and a symphonic orchestra, to conduct an original theme I had written that had never been heard publicly. Even before the game’s title was revealed, the audience experienced a

Shadow Tactics is such a good real-time tactics stealth strategy game that it rejuvenated the genre. There’s a chance you already own the sneaky samurai sim, however, and much less of a chance that you own its standalone expansion, Aiko’s Choice. It’s the latter that is currently being given away for free over on the

Sony released a sneak peek of its upcoming Gran Turismo movie yesterday evening during its CES 2023 press conference, and as expected, it features a lot of fast vehicles.  Starring David Harbour (Stranger Things), Orlando Bloom (Pirates of the Caribbean, The Lord of the Rings), and David Barnet (Never Have I Ever), and directed by

Image: Merchoid AI generated art has been gaining some serious traction over the last year or so, and much to the chargrin of real artists, the whole concept has undoubtedly improved drastically to produce some pretty convincing pieces. Then again, lots of it still has the potential to cause a few nightmares here and there,

You may recall that, last month, Did You Know Gaming‘s “Heroes of Hyrule” video was suddenly taken down due to a copyright strike. At the time, it wasn’t officially known who had been to blame for getting the video taken down, but it was highly suspected that Nintendo did it. Well, there is some good

Following on from my musings/scribblings about the murky world of arcade racing games on the Xbox, it would seem that the time is finally ripe for me to cast the net a little wider, and consider the world of sim racers. Yes, the kind of racing games where you know that if you can just

The rumored Horizon Zero Dawn remake (or remaster) for the PS5 is not being developed by Guerrilla Games, according to PlayStation insider Colin Moriarty. The game’s existence has not been officially confirmed by Sony or Guerrilla, but it was outed via a leaked internal Sony document that also mentioned the all-but-confirmed Horizon multiplayer game. Who’s developing

Dead Island 2 was announced just a few years after the release of the first Dead Island and a little over a year after Dead Island Riptide – the forgettable and repetitive sequel that did, at least, continue the story of the first game’s survivors. Publisher Deep Silver released some spinoffs after Riptide, like Escape

Welcome to VG247’s Best Games Ever Podcast: Episode 32 – the best game of 2023 The future is unknowable. As are the minds of our deranged panellists, who were asked to pick their nod for next year’s GOTY based on the scraps of info we know about 2023’s game releases and, somehow, none of them

It’s hard to get too excited about a power bank, after all, it’s very much a case of plug, play and enjoy the charge that they offer up. But the excitement with Excitrus products is pretty much built into the name. That’s the case for the Excitrus 105w Power Bank Ultimate.  We use power banks

The claim-by dates for several Destiny 2 Bungie Rewards have been extended following several days of downtime for the Destiny API.

It’s been a weird year at RPS for me. After eight years as news editor, I started the nebulous new role of associate editor. This brought a broad mandate to cover indie games and PC Game Pass and to do, like, whatever else I think might be fun or good. It has been weird to
