I wasn’t fussed about Armored Core 6 and then they did this Ultrawide support and 120fps? At launch? On a FromSoft game? What is this? Image credit:FromSoftware, HS You I’m hardly the target market for Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon .

Or, at the very least, an option? Without sounding like a pompous chump, I have to say that it takes a lot for me to be excited about a Bethesda game. The last one of those I enjoyed was Skyrim, and I attribute a large part of that to having received it as a gift on its launch day just as I quit my job and had all the free time in the world....

Some didn’t like the Western cinema influences, others felt it needed to be more chaotic and colourful, but I personally disagree on both counts. One thing most people do seem to agree on, at the very least, is that the soundtrack is killer....

IGN Live is back for a second year in 2025, partly filling the gaping hole in all of us left by an absent E3 E3 may (still) be dead, but the spirit of ‘gamer Christmas’ coming in June certainly isn’t. Image credit:IGN Look, we all know E3 is dead. Well, at least the event that we knew as E3 is dead - there’s something called Iicon that’s strutting arond wearing the dead E3’s clothes but we think it’s liable to be something of an imposter....

Image credit:VG247/Pocket Pair Xbox has taken the cover off the next batch of titles coming to Game Pass as January draws to a close and we kick on into February (don’t worry the speed at which time moves scares me too).
