"We want to make the Graham Norton of video games," says Kirsty Rigden, the chief executive of Brighton-based FuturLab, which makes PowerWash Simulator. Aspiring to emulate a talkshow host who has a reputation for being affable rather than for setting pulses racing is perhaps an unusual ambition for a gaming studio.

Peter Friedlander has requested that the scripts for the upcoming TV series be rewritten to appeal to 'non-gamers,' which has upset some Mass Effect fans. However, production for the series is reportedly 'on the verge' of starting.

"If you started a game on April 1st and kissed the wounded neighbor, that save file is now permanently in smooch mode!" Coulombe posted on social media.

Whenever you're working with an existing IP, there's always the question of how you're going to translate and adapt, right? Because it's not a one-to-one sort of interpretation.

Kendrick suggested a formation change to 4-4-2, inspired by his online team and football manager Sean Dyche, leading to a 3-2 victory for KPR.

Dredge+ is the complete edition of the game, with all released DLC content. This is pretty much a perfect video game that combines fishing with bone-chilling horror.

Propolis is a worker-placement, engine-building, area-control, tableau-building game where players take actions like placing and fortifying Worker Beeples to gather resources.

Petit Planet is the studio's take on Animal Crossing, though with a few interesting ideas of its own. The game's most recent test took place all the way back in November, but its next big test isn't far off.

"I thought about two books that I'd read. The first book is by an author called Miyamoto Musashi, it's called The Book of Five Rings, and the other book I was thinking about was called Here Be Dragons, which is a physics book about wormholes, and advanced physics, and extraterrestrial life and so forth."

Ditto's appearance as a protagonist of one of the best games of 2026 would likely never have happened had it not been for one episode of the original anime.

A beautifully crafted, engine-builder board game where cute creatures & unique factions shape a glowing fantasy underground world.

When we rolled out a custom-built company GPT to our 14,000 teammates several years ago, we saw three clear groups emerge. First, there was the 'jump-in-with-both-feet' crowd. These are the early adopters who treat anything new like a shiny toy. Next were the skeptics who wondered how much of an impact AI would have on their daily work lives. And finally, there was a big group that genuinely wanted to learn but didn't know where to start.

Timber Rush is about numbers going up in the crudest way imaginable, a clicker game that barely even features clicking, in which you move your woodcutter side to side as increasing numbers of increasingly silly logs fly around the screen.

In Raid Rush, 2 teams of 5 players will take turns attacking and defending their bases with no pesky looting phase in between. Instead, select your base and use Trader Flynn to upgrade your weapons and equipment in a round based format. After each round, you'll switch sides between attacking and defending.

The best new co-op games are those that do something a bit different, offering more than a single-player experience with another player thoughtlessly tacked on. These multiplayer games account for groups of friends all wanting their own role, with a shared goal in sight and plenty of chaos on the path to getting there.

Trails Beyond the Horizon's new character, Ulrika, is like staring into the abyss of a broken TikTok algorithm, and while my knee-jerk reaction might have been shock and even a little disdain, over the next 100 hours, I grew to find the character's bit surprisingly genuine and, admittedly, hilarious. What first felt like a gimmick grew to become one of my absolute favorite parts of the game, enhancing the already distinct personality of the Trails games.
