Agatha All Along has ended, but the witch’s on-screen journey has just started according to series creator Jac Schaeffer

Warning: Spoilers ahead for season 1 of Agatha All Along. If I had to name a big TV surprise that premiered in the back half of 2024, I’d have to pick Agatha All Along. Sure, I’ve enjoyed a fair amount of Marvel Studios’ Disney+ shows in the past, but we’ve been feeling down on this whole thing for a while, and this specific series felt like it was arriving too late after WandaVision wowed most...

Quick, grab your baby and walking boots, Death Stranding just dropped on Xbox Series X/S out of the blue

Bang. While we’re all waiting for more fun Death Stranding 2 teasers and info, the Director’s Cut version of the original Death Stranding has been surprise dropped onto Xbox Series X/S. While the base version of the game has previously been on an Xbox thing – Game Pass – that was just for PC, and it departed the service back in August last year. Now, five years after it first hit PS4, it’s officially in...

Skeleton Crew co-creator Jon Watts reveals he got into Star Wars through the X-Wing and TIE Fighter video games, actually

As Skeleton Crew‘s marketing campaign ramps up and promises a return to pure, old-school swashbuckling adventures in live-action Star Wars, we’re starting to learn more about the creatives’ experiences making the show and how they first connected with the long-running franchise. That second trailer, cover of Peter Schilling’s ‘Major Tom’ in Huttese included, sure was fantastic. So, the conversation surrounding the show, which arrives after The Acolyte’s cancellation this summer, has been heating up in...

The anime movie of the year just dropped on Prime Video, so do yourself a favour and watch it now

Have you ever watched a movie that you kind of knew would be one of your favourite films of all time, before you even saw it? That’s how I felt the day that the anime adaptation of Look Back was revealed in February of this year, but it wasn’t until recently that I was able to actually get to the cinema and check it out (forever adore you, distributing companies that take forever to...

No Man’s Sky brings back Mass Effect’s Nomandy as a special N7 Day treat, alongside some handy cross-save support

It’s N7 Day, that wonderful time of year when alien fanciers the world over come together, look at BioWare, and say ‘come on then, do a thing’. Well, the good news is that this year, BioWare’s done a thing with No Man’s Sky developer Hello Games. As of today, Mass Effect‘s Normandy is back in NMS, arrving alongside some other new features. Yep, after warning folks that this year’s N7 Day would be “quieter” due...

A website for a mysterious new Pokemon-focused company has cropped up, and it sounds like it’ll be doing more than just making games

Some kind of new Pokemon project called The Pokemon Works is in the, uh, works, but it’s not very clear what it is. Earlier this year, The Pokemon Company seemingly set up a new subsidiary called The Pokemon Works, with it apparently being located in the same building as ILCA, the studio behind Pokemon Home and Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. It’s been unclear what exactly The Pokemon Works is, but an...

Metal Slug Tactics wins by adding its own design ideas to a well-trodden path, and avoiding cheap nostalgia

Metal Slug Tactics gets many things right, but perhaps its most impressive achievement is that it isn’t bogged down nor limited by the IP it honors. We’ve seen it happen time and again: “This is just like those original games you like but (x).” That’s not a bad recipe by any means, but it’s certainly one predestined not to leave a mark. That said, the reality is that, as good as it turned out to...

“We really heavily focused on freedom to play the game the way you wanted” – Fallout: New Vegas’ director on Obsidian’s goals in the face of bug criticisms and Fallout 3 comparisons

Obsidian knew what it was in for as it was developing Fallout: New Vegas, but that didn’t stop it from sticking with its guns. Despite how long games take to make these days, Fallout: New Vegas was on the opposite end of the spectrum, taking only 18 months to develop, which was way too quick even then. The end result had plenty of bugs, which is something that Obsidian knew it would have to...

BioWare rounds off the end of Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s first week by kindly telling you all what’s killing you the most

Players have had their hands on Dragon Age: The Veilguard for a little bit now, so BioWare has shared some interesting facts and figures about everyone’s playthroughs. It’s become pretty popular for developers to share how players are actually playing these days, as it offers an interesting insight into the masses’ mindset, and the ways it does or does not differ. BioWare has hopped on that trend this week by sharing some stats...

Are you young and know nothing about Metal Gear Solid? Then you’re the exact reason that Konami is making Metal Gear Solid Delta

There’s lots of reasons to remake a game, but for Konami, its choice to make Metal Gear Solid Delta comes from a concern about young people. Kids these days – can they even tell you which one is Big Boss, The Boss, Solid Snake, Liquid Snake, or Venom Snake by looking at pictures of them anymore? Okay, most people probably can’t do that, let alone young people, but with the Metal Gear Solid...
