Loving Helldivers 2? You need to check out this 90s classic, then Dive right in. Image credit:Arrowhead/ Sony You’ve probably been seeing a lot of space marines on your timeline recently. That’ll be in no small part thanks to the surprising, and slightly overwhelming , success of Helldivers 2 , which has certainly adorned my timeline with numerous clips of human on bug-stroke-automaton action. It’s a classic case of word-of-mouth, and funny and cool clips propelling it higher than any kind of ad campaign possibly could....

Margot Robbie doesn’t seem to care about her Oscar snub as Barbie and would rather sing Greta Gerwig’s praises The movie landed eight Oscar noms anyway, why let one snub get you down? Image credit:Warner Bros. Pictures Barbie star Margot Robbie ain’t mad about the Oscar snub the Internet won’t shut up about , and would rather defend director Greta Gerwig and everything she’s achieved. During the SAG-AFTRA discussion with her co-stars ( via Variety ), the actress was obviously asked about Barbie’s eight Oscar nominations and what many people believe is one of this edition’s biggest snubs - Robbie missing out on Best Actress....

Marvel Snap is incredible, but its cash prices are incredibly stupid One of 2022’s breakout mobile games continues to impress, but its monetisation methods leave a lot to be desired. Make no mistake: Marvel Snap is one of the very best games of 2022. I know that, as ever, the awards chatter was dominated by bigger console games – but seriously, I’ve now definitely played more of this free-to-play card battler than pretty much everything that came out last year that isn’t called Elden Ring ....

Honestly, after about three rough years for Marvel Studios and Disney, who can blame them?...

Marvel’s Vision series is apparently bringing back an MCU villain that’s so old you probably completely forgot about him I’m talking you’re going to have to look back 17 years old. Image credit:Marvel Studios WandaVision spinoff Vision Quest just got a new cast member, and it’s an MCU character you won’t have seen in a very long time. Last year, it was reported that we’d be getting a TV series all about Vision, or specifically White Vision, the remade version of the synthezoid character that flew off somewhere at the end of WandaVision....

Metal Gear Solid voice actor may have teased that much rumoured Snake Eater remake Still no confirmation if it’s real or not though. Donna Burke, voice actor and vocalist behind a couple of Metal Gear Solid vocal tracks, appears to have teased that Snake Eater remake. Earlier this week Burke shared a photo of herself holding a folder of a cat with an eye patch on it, but more importantly it has the text Snake Eater on it, with the caption “Recording in progress” (thanks, Eurogamer )....

Monster Hunter remains king, but there’s one thing it could learn from Wild Hearts Having trouble with late game monsters? A certain boss kicking your ass? Here’s how you can stop dying and embrace the joy of cooking. I think Wild Hearts is a terribly unbalanced game. I think some of the monsters you fight are too bland, and I think some of them are far, far too spicy. I think the gameplay loop is fattier and chewier than it is in genre rival Monster Hunter, and I think the vast majority of fights have more gristle in them than is totally necessary....

My game of the year is Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree because, yes, of course you’re are allowed to choose DLC It’s my game of the year, I’ll choose whatever I like, thanks. Image credit:VG247 The best expansions are unmistakably grounded in their base game, but take all of their strongest ideas and distill them down into a more refined, self-contained experience which not only celebrates everything that made the original great, but takes it just that little bit further, too....

Things you love to see. Super Mario Bros. Wonder getting the Switch 2 Edition + expansion treatment in March feels like Nintendo making the correct call, and I couldn’t think of a better game to be getting that bit more attention on the new system.

Nintendo says Switch 2 backwards compatability was the “best direction” for players, even if it’s still staying quiet on which games won’t work You’ll have to wait until that April Direct. Image credit:Nintendo The Nintendo Switch 2 will definitely be backwards compatible, but that confirmation did come with a bit of an asterisk, and the house of Mario won’t explain why yet. Something that Sony really messed up on back in the PS3/ PS4 era is backward compatibility - neither console could play games from the generation before it (bar those very early PS3s), so the PS5 being backward compatible was obviously welcome news....

On my first Dragon Ball Z rewatch in 20 years, I’ve realised just how much the games shaped what I knew about the series Maybe I should have done a rewatch a bit sooner… Image credit:Toei Animation/ Akira Toriyama/ Bandai Namco This year has been a bit of a mixed one for Dragon Ball fans - Daima , the first new TV anime since Super ended in 2018, started just this month, which came alongside the release of the hotly anticipated Dragon Ball: Sparking!...

One of the best parts of Arcane Season 2? Its end-of-episode teases that make it near-impossible to stop watching The main plot is obviously brilliant, but it’s those small scenes at the end that has me fiending for Act 2.
