The anthology that includes futuristic fictional technology tends to have a much darker tone for most of its episodes. While there are a few exceptions, the majority of the time, characters from the show are given some of the most tragic and horrifying conclusions. These range from world-ending events to some of the most unthinkable things that anyone’s ever seen....

Summary There are two great joys in gaming almost everyone shares. Unlocking a boss character as playable, or adding them to your party, is one of the best. The other is the reverse, facing the protagonist or one from earlier in the series as a boss fight. Being on the other end of the abilities you used to plow through the story is an experience that never gets old, so it’s a bit of a surprise it doesn’t happen more often....

Indiana Jones and the Great Circlehas whip-swung its way ontoPS5, meaning that, as promised, I’m finally playing it, and it’s a treasure. I’m having a great time exploring Vatican City, uncovering underground Blackshirt boxing rings, catching the shutterbug, and changing costumes like a hairierHitman. As good as it is, though, I can’t stop myself from missing developer MachineGames’ previous excellent franchise,Wolfenstein. MachineGames didn’t create Wolfenstein — the series origins date back to 1981 (and 1992 in its id Software-created FPS form) — but it did provide the definitive modern take....

HasMario Partyever made you so violently angry you just had to scream? Great news! TheNintendo Switch 2has an answer to your prayers. InSuper Mario Party Jamboree: Nintendo Switch 2 Edition & Jamboree TV, you can use your vocal cords as a cathartic instrument when someone steals your stars. With integration of the Switch 2’s mic and camera, it gave me a chance to test out one of the new console’s peripheral oddities - since this was a large-scale in person event, we couldn’t try out the online chatting systems, so this was the best way to see it in action....

Almost a decade after its original release in 2015, the wonderful open-world ARPG, Xenoblade Chronicles X, finally made its way over to the Nintendo Switch in the enhanced form ofXenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition.This remaster adds new content, vastly improves the visuals and adds some quality of life features. Only two years after Xenoblade X released, we gotXenoblade Chronicles 2which was a monumental step forward for the series. Xenoblade X struggled to run on the under-powered potato known as the Wii U, but now that both games are on the same console, we can fairly compare the two to find out which is the better game....

There aren’t any hard and fast rules on what a story DLC should be. Yet, it is generally accepted that it has to be connected to the base game in some way. Perhaps it’s a prequel to the main tale or a side story featuring one of the secondary characters. Whatever it is, though, it should be a worthwhile addition to the game if people are handing over extra money for it....

The shiny new offering compounds all the content from the original Guild Wars into a single package, as well as adding Steam Deck control compatibility and some other surprises for players.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wildis one of my favourite games of all time and a true titan ofNintendo’s first-party releases. Ever since I first started Link’s genre-defining adventure on theWii Ubefore eventually moving my progress to theSwitch, I’ve sunk hundreds of hours into clambering around Hyrule, cooking up Dubious Food, and failing to reflect more Guardian lasers than I care to count. I even liked the weapon durability,despite how much people whinged about it....
