I hate to start a review with a cliché, but reader, I'm doing it. Mafia: The Old Country is that occasional sort of experience that is 'more than the sum of its parts'. On paper, I don't think I should like this game as much as I do. When I stop and really think about it - y'know, squinting a little with concentration - I actually think I really do like it a little less.

September has another game to look forward to, with LEGO Voyagers being scheduled for release on 15th September. The game is coming to pretty much all major platforms, which means PS5, PS4, Xbox Series consoles, Switch, and PC (Steam and Epic Games Store).
If the recent unstoppable wave of cosy sims has taught me anything, it's that my life would be infinitely more tolerable if only I dropped everything to start a life of aggressive vegetable upkeep deep in bucolic isolation. Yet despite all this pro-turnip (and weirdly low-key horny) propaganda, the idea's never particularly appealed.

While the quality of the upcoming mobile-only Resident Evil Survival Unit remains to be seen, the trailer certainly looks the part.

Sony has announced the line-up of games coming to the PlayStation Plus Game Catalogue this August. Available to PS Plus Extra and Premium members, these new additions include 
AOL is binning off its dial-up internet service after 30 years, which, frankly, is more surprising for the fact AOL still offered a dial-up internet service than for the fact it's closing it. Regardless, it's a milestone moment. AOL opened the doors of the internet for millions of people; its name was synonymous with it. And yes, I know that most of those people were Americans, the acronym AOL standing for America Online after all, but AOL did operate in the UK. I vividly remember having an AOL promo disk in a cardboard sleeve. I think it came attached to a newspaper - things like that happened back in the 90s. I remember trying to use it once, too, and being whisked away to an AOL-themed portal of bite-sized internet games and fledgling news services, and beautifully ugly 90s websites. The internet back then was a proper mood (

August is the new Christmas for gen Xers and elder-millennials who go all misty eyed upon hearing the word "gibs". Nightdive's annual remaster of an FPS classic has become as much a QuakeCon tradition as judging who's got the filthiest keyboard, the one present guaranteed to be under the event's dripping, corpse-festooned tree.
We all wanted a Jurassic Park game that was closely tied to the original movie and also leant on the survival-action elements that make sense for a video game. We are getting that in
