After twenty years of Gears of War, being frightened of the Locust takes some effort. We know what they look like, how they fight and, most importantly, roughly how much ammunition should be applied to the problem. A Drone appears, Marcus finds cover, somebody revs a Lancer, and another productive d...

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.

Even when individual games changed protagonists and stories, returning to that familiar setting wa...

The original Graveyard Keeper gave you a cemetery and somehow turned burying corpses into one of gaming's most complicated small businesses. There were bodies to process, graves to improve, crops to grow, resources to collect and increasingly questionable ways to make money. Eventually, you could ev...

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...
