Starfield’s latest must-have mod transforms boring space battles into frenetic and intense clashes Think your dogfighting skills aren’t being properly put to the test? Image credit:VG247/Bethesda/AshkaariElesaan If, like me, your Starfield character prides themselves on being one of the top pilots in the Settled Systems and has reduced scores of ships to wreckage, a new mod looks like a great addition to your load order. While the space battles in the vanilla version of Bethesda’s interstellar RPG can sometimes make for a challenge - especially if you’re outnumbered three or four to one - they just as often leave a little to be desired....

I don’t know what it is, but I need to find it, and my map swears blind it’s here. I’ve done more laps of a purposefully bare room than I can count, desperately scouring every nook and cranny, just in case it’s hidden down the side of the fireplace, or inside an antique globe....

The American Oldboy remake turned out horrible, so they’re making a TV series next At least the bar is underground at this point. Image credit:Show East Almost everyone loves Spike Lee, but almost everyone also agrees that his Oldboy remake wasn’t good. Somehow, we now find ourselves looking at the prospect of an Oldboy TV series.

The best game with the most pointless feature We’re not allowed to talk about horse balls. Image credit:Konami Sometimes video games include the most random things, but who doesn’t love that stuff?

Image credit:VG247/Konami/Japan Studio/Capcom/Crystal Dynamics The PlayStation first shipped in 1994 and very quickly made its way into the homes of gamers worldwide. It’s a console that - alongside the PlayStation 2 - many hold near and dear, for good reason. The console was home to a multitude of RPG’s, action games, and highly successful series that were finding their footing at the time, garnering Sony plenty of power that it’s since held on to and grown…for the most part....

In the wake of the film’s release earlier this month we’ve seen player counts spike for Borderlands , Borderlands 2 , and Borderlands 3 , as these poor souls search desperately for a reason to still care about the IP....

The Boys’ creator says he’s worried about becoming “the thing we’ve been satirizing for five years” of the same series that is set to get three spinoffs “I’m really working hard to not sell out.” Image credit:Amazon Eric Kripke, creator of The Boys , is worried about becoming the same as the superhero movies it’s been satirising since it started airing.

The Casting of Frank Stone was never meant to be GOTY material, but its underrated formula for crowd-pleasing collaborations is one I wish we saw more often Two of the best modern horror game franchises collided this year in Supermassive Games’ sideways look at the world of Dead by Daylight. Image credit:Behaviour Interactive When I started writing up my shortlist of 2024 GOTY candidates earlier this autumn – in an attempt to sort through a messy mixture of widely-agreed-upon hits I still needed to play and total heart picks I intended to go to bat for – The Casting of Frank Stone easily cleared my personal top 10, quite clearly in the latter category....
