It took a 2012 Mini Cooper for me to fall in love with 70km of plastic track. Specifically, it took a punchy Mini Cooper travelling vertically up a stretch of this toy road, after being propelled by a thundering, belching treadmill in perfect concert with ‘Also Sprach Zarathustra’ by the …

Ubi’s latest take on Far Cry 5 (opens in new tab) brings its familiar open world town liberating to the USA. There are cults to kill, towns to save and, while you might think it looks a bit like the previous games, there’s loads of new little details you might …

What is it that you seek in life? Perhaps you desire recognition for a job well done. Maybe you crave honour and prestige above all else. You might be desperate to increase your standing among friends, peers and the global academic community. Or perhaps you really want definitive proof that …

One thing is for sure: Chloe is not Max. In contrast to the shy, wary photographer from the first Life is Strange (opens in new tab) game, Chloe is a confrontational, sharp-tongued asshole. Her hair might not be blue yet, but she’s every inch the rebel that we shot bottles …

Aquaman (opens in new tab) is currently shooting in Australia, but a few thousand miles aren’t enough to stop star Jason Momoa flying into Comic Con (opens in new tab) for the DC panel in Hall H. Trident in hand (how did he get that through security?), Momoa took to …

The light is failing, the rain is pouring, and I’m bouncing over the dirt tracks that masquerade as roads in the Bayou at pace. If contending with the loose handling of the rust bucket I’m driving wasn’t enough, snaking over the rivers that cut New Bordeaux’s rump up like a …

In many ways, the presence of FIFA is a good barometer of a platform’s relevance. When EA stopped launching versions of its world-beating football series on the PS Vita and 3DS in 2015, while focusing more and more attention on its Ultimate Team-based free-to-play mobile version, it spoke volumes about …
