RICO London launched as a fast-paced cel-shaded FPS with a simple promise: kick down doors, clear rooms, shoot through gangs and climb a London high-rise either solo or with a partner.

The original God of War trilogy is no longer just an old PlayStation action series. In 2026, it has become active history again. Sony has officially confirmed that the original Greek trilogy is being remade, while God of War Sons of Sparta has already brought Kratos back to his Greek roots through a new 2D…
The PlayStation 2 library is so large that even entire genres have hidden corners. Everyone remembers the obvious platforming names: Jak and Daxter, Ratchet & Clank, Sly Cooper, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro and the mascot-driven releases that carried over from the late PlayStation and Nintendo 64 era. But the PS2 was also full of smaller, stranger…

For many players, the launch version did not match the picture built through interviews,…

The Sega Dreamcast still has one of the strangest legacies in gaming. It lived briefly, burned brightly and disappeared before many of its most interesting possibilities could properly land. The console gave players online features, arcade-quality releases, VMU experiments, bold Sega exclusives and several games that felt ahead of their generation. That short life also…
