Racing games usually have a very simple opinion about losing: don't. Finish first, unlock the next event and try not to introduce your vehicle to a wall at several hundred kilometres per hour. Star Wars: Galactic Racer, launching today, October 6, has a slightly stranger philosophy. Sometimes a bad...

Ace Combat has always been very good at turning an anonymous pilot into a minor deity of aerial warfare. You begin as another callsign on the radio. Several missions later, enemy pilots are discussing your arrival with the enthusiasm normally reserved for natural disasters, while your own side start...

The Witcher 3 has aged strangely. Eleven years after release, people still talk about the Bloody Baron, Novigrad and Hearts of Stone without needing to add “for its time.” Then Geralt tries to reposition himself during a fight, Roach encounters a fence, or you open an old menu, and suddenly 2015 fee...

Remakes often seem determined to justify themselves by changing as much as possible. Combat gets replaced, stories are rewritten, familiar areas become dramatically larger, and eventually the new version starts feeling less like a restoration and more like an argument that the original needed fixing...

After years of Spider-Man games, Insomniac could have approached Wolverine as another variation on a formula it already knows extremely well.
