If it’s Wrestlemania season, that means it’s also time for a new WWE 2K game. Over the last few years, this series has been on its most impressive run to date, and WWE 2K26 is a solid enough next chapter in that story. I don’t regret the time I've spent running the ropes in this year’s ring, but with another milquetoast Showcase mode and the growing tendrils of monetization wrapping itself around the experience like an anaconda vise, it’s starting to feel like the golden age for 2K wrestling games might be coming to an end. 2K26 hasn’t learned many new moves since last year, mostly just tweaking existing base mechanics. The biggest slam to the system is an adjustment to stamina, adding a condition called “winded” to superstars who run out. While winded, your stamina wheel turns from yellow to purple, and you can no longer run or use reversals until it empties and goes back to normal. This adds more risk-reward to all of the offensive and defensive actions you do in the ring that...

Pokémon Pokopia players are speaking out to save others a whole lot of time and bother — because no, you don't actually need to water every single square of the game's world. When you first start playing Pokopia, your character wakes up in an arid wasteland that was once a lush Pokémon utopia. There are no humans anymore, the world is in ruins, and other Pokémon are few and far between. On top of that, you've likely seen screenshots and trailers showing the possibilities in store when you do revive Pokopia's world — and so when you gain the ability to water the ground and bring back its green hues, many players' first instinct (including my own) is to do so everywhere. For hours. Every. Last. Square. Well, it turns out you don't need to do that. As many players are now taking to social media to point out (and also, very mildly spoil) there will soon come a time when all of this is handled for you. And if you'd prefer not to read more about what happen...

Since the earliest cave paintings, human beings have used art to recreate the world around us. But while the painter’s limit is imagination, the photographer can only capture what actually exists. They can use their tools to increase exposure, change framing, or apply filters, but they cannot create something entirely new; only preserve a moment in time. It’s telling that Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly is getting its moment now. A game about twin sisters haunted by the past with a camera as their only salvation, Crimson Butterfly Remake is similarly bound to its predecessor while also being charged with modernizing it. In many ways, it succeeds. I cannot deny that I enjoyed revisiting Minakami Village, but I also fear that constantly bending a knee to the modern and adding more complex mechanics has added an artificiality that is at odds with the captivating story it tells. By the time I reached the end of my 20-hour journey, I was deeply satisfied with and impressed by this remak...

Steve Downes, who plays Master Chief in the Halo series, has demanded the White House remove his voice from a social media video he described as “disgusting and juvenile war porn.” In a video published to the official White House X / Twitter account, now viewed over 63 million times, Master Chief is seen and heard issuing his iconic line, “Finishing this fight.” But Halo is not the only world-famous intellectual property used in the video, which was published last week amid the war in the Middle East alongside the text, “Justice the American way.” Also included are clips of Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Mel Gibson in Braveheart, Tom Cruise in Top Gun, Keanu Reeves as John Wick, and many more, all saying iconic lines of their own. The movie clips are spliced with war footage showing explosions.

The team behind Project Motor Racing has acknowledged the game did not meet expectations upon its initial release in November. The admission comes via a new newsletter update from developer Straight4 Studios, which also announced a major update is set to arrive at the end of March. “When we launched Project Motor Racing in November, we set out to build a racing sim that captured the intensity, immersion, and discipline of real motorsport,” the studio wrote. “So let’s start with the simple truth: we didn’t hit the mark. Not on the stuff that mattered most. We let you down, and we let ourselves down.” Conceding “more than one thing” went wrong, the studio explained it has been focusing on working “tirelessly to right the ship.” “Patch by patch, we’ve listened closely to your feedback – the good, the bad, and the blunt – and we’ve acted on it,” the studio continued. “We’re now seven patches into making PMR the experience you want. Are we there yet? No. Not yet. But we’re moving clos...
