There’s something about Sonic games where I kind of let my guard down and just enjoy them for what they are. And I’m happy to say that I’ve genuinely enjoyed my time with Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, which I played an hour of during Summer Game Fest. It’s a kart racer that, in my short time with, nails the core tenets of a good kart racer – fast and intense races, powerups that turn the tide and leave you salty, and a good vibe that celebrates the characters from its source material. I can’t really ask for much more than that,…

From gold medalists to progenitors of some of today’s most iconic skateboarding tricks, these classic skaters were instrumental in bringing skateboarding culture to a wider audience.

Not Not 2 – A Brain Challenge is a puzzle game for the Nintendo Switch. While I (not so) patiently awaited the release of the Switch 2 recently, what better way was there to pass the time than with some brain-teasing puzzles? When mobile games are ported to the humble Switch, it can result in eye rolls. Sure, the Switch has its fair share of titles that don’t necessarily translate well between devices. Not Not 2, thankfully, is an example of a port done well. It’s also a fun game to boot. In Not Not 2, your task is simple.…

Whenever I tell friends that I’m still playing Halo Infinite in 2025, the reactions are usually somewhere between confusion and open laughter. No, it’s not dead, and yes, 343 (now Halo Studios) still adds stuff to it—battle passes, the occasional gun, and frequent map packs created by the Forge community.This week kicked off a Halo 3 nostalgia event, marked by the return of 2007 armor sets and remakes of 11 Halo 3 maps bundled into a special playlist. But the mode doesn’t only turn back the clock on maps, it also recreates the feel of Halo 3—that means no sprint,…

It’s great that so many PlayStation games have come to PC in the last few years, letting me stack a heap of extra big-budget videogame junk food on my pile of shame. Welcome to the backlog, Horizon Zero Dawn. These games haven’t always set the Steam top sellers list on fire, however, sometimes thanks to a marketing budget you’d have to squint to see. How many people even knew Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 came out on PC at the end of January? No wonder it only managed a peak player count of 28,189.Meanwhile, the newly released Stellar Blade is currently number…
