And now with the additions of the handheld-only Switch Lite and the higher-end Switch OLED, there’s multiple ways for gamers to start gaming on a Switch, but the price point and versatility of the original Switch make it the easiest to recommend to all types of gamers. What makes it even easier to recommend is the £229.95 price tag that the console has at The Game Collection right now, which is the lowest price the standard Switch has been at outside of Black Friday over the years....

It’s rare to find a monitor with such solid specs at this price point. Firstly, it has a Fast IPS panel with a 144Hz refresh rate. In fact, it’s the same one found in the popular LG 27GL850 and Dell S2721DGFA. That means it has the qualities we love about TN monitors, with a fast pixel response time and great motion clarity. However, because it’s an IPS display, you’re also benefitting from wide viewing angles and vivid colours....

For all the sights and sounds of Ghostwire: Tokyo - and trust me, there’s a lot of ’em - it’s these sets of clothes that touched me most. Despite a mainline story that does its utmost best to pull at your heartstrings and connect you in some way - any way - to Akito and his psychic roommate, for all its cloying sentiment, nothing in that story made me feel as sad as the sight of all those empty outfits....

The mode was conspicuously missing from the game at launch, with Santa Monica Studios suggesting that it was not yet ready. Photo Mode was a highlight of God of War (2018), where it was also released after launch. The new Photo Mode includes the ability to add expressions to Kratos, Atreus, Freya, Brok, Sindri, Tyr, Angrboda, Thor, and Thrúd. You can also hide characters from scenes. Standard camera features are also included such as adjusting field of view, focal length, camera roll, depth of field, focus distance, and f-stop....

Details are limited as present, as is the way with teases, with Sony AI’s Twitter feed only saying that Wednesday will see it “launch [its] Gaming Flagship and announce a breakthrough project in AI created through a collab with Polyphony Digital Inc. and Sony Interactive Entertainment.” The tweet is accompanied by an (equally unilluminating) video - also shared by Polyphony, alongside the words, “Change the game” - which you’ll find below....

Currently, the game is playable on current-gen consoles via backwards compatibility. The standalone version of GTA Online will be available to players on both platforms. But, as previously announced, the standalone version of GTA Online will be available for free exclusively to PS5 players during the first three months, ending in February 2022. This means that if you want GTA Online on Xbox Series X and S at launch, you need to pay up for the full game....

The patch adds ray-traced reflections when playing using the game’s 30fps Fidelity Mode, allowing for details such as vehicles and characters to be shown on reflective surfaces such as windows and in water. Fly a helicopter past a skyscraper and you’ll now see your ride reflected in its glass. Zoom along Los Santos’ neon-drenched waterfront in your jet ski, and you’ll be able to see its lights reflected in the waves....

Guildford - which the organisation describes as the “Hollywood of video games” - is home to over 3000 “highly-skilled programmers” and 60 individual game studios, including EA, Media Molecule, and Supermassive Games. “After three successful years of holding the G.G Festival and Awards, hosting in person events, airing interviews with developers to an online audience of two million viewers the Guildford.Games committee have elected to make it official,” the organisation explained in a statement....

These will arrive after Testament, the final first season character who has now been fully revealed. Fans have welcomed the character’s redesign and fresh moveset, and noted Arc System Works’ use of they/them pronouns for Testament’s bio. The scythe-wielding fighter will become available to season pass owners on 28th March, and for all players on 31st March. A free update for the game on 28th March will add a “digital figure” mode so you can position characters - including their poses and expressions - plus furniture and effects to your heart’s desire....

That’s according to Variety, which reports Offerman will be taking over the role from Con O’Neill - who was forced to step away from the show as a result of a scheduling conflict - and will appear alongside Murray Bartlett as Frank. In The Last of Us’ original video game form, Frank had already left town by the time Bill encounters Joel and Ellie. However, Variety reports the pair will still be together, as two “post-pandemic survivalists living alone in their own isolated town”, as the show gets underway....

If you’re not up to date, this is the sequel to the 2019 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare which rebooted the series and re-imagined some of its popular characters.

Set a few years ahead of the previous entry, Kratos and Atreus are now out in search of how to stop Ragnarök, whilst protecting their home, allies and uncertain futures. Evolving past the original with deepened combat and a strong conclusion to the Norse saga, Ragnarök has cemented itself as yet another PlayStation great – we say as much in our review. With being one of the biggest titles of this year and a likely game of the year contender for many, this is one you don’t want to miss, and below we’ve detailed all the different editions of the game, including their pre-order and deluxe edition bonuses, and where to find the best deals on all of them, as well as any additional merchandise or accessories to go along with it....

This update continues to add improvements to the game, covering everything from the UI to the machines that roam through Horizon’s futuristic yet primal world. An issue with Melee Pits progression has been resolved with this patch, as have the multiple instances of machines getting stuck outside of the player’s reach during Side Quest objectives, thus conditionally blocking progression. Amusingly, Guerrilla has also added subtitles for the lyrics of the title song “In the Flood” to the game, proclaiming this means it’s “time for a karaoke session”....

Originally set for a 21st October release and shown at this year’s Xbox + Bethesda Games Showcase, Scorn will now be out on 14th October. It’s unclear why the date has changed, but there’s a mildly terrifying new trailer to go with it. Watch on YouTube You’ve waited long enough… Scorn takes place in an isolated dream world that forms an “interconnected bio-labyrinth” full of grotesque puzzles, according to a press release....

It starts with one free promotion, requires less maintenance than the Caravel and has two charges to build Feitorias - special shipping ports unique to Portugal. A Feitoria can only be built by a Nau unit on a foreign city’s coastal tile next to a luxury or bonus resource. This hugely exciting new mechanic has certainly set the cat among the pigeons within the Civilization community....
