Rez has the power to make me geek out like few things can. Ask just about anyone who’s played and loved this cult classic on Dreamcast, PlayStation 2, or in HD on Xbox 360, and they’ll likely gush about its glorious fusion of techno music and arcade shooting. To Rez …

So, Virtual Reality is the next big thing, is it? Grown men and women wandering around their living rooms, wearing pairs of goggles that wouldn’t look out of place in a hokey sci-fi thriller starring some washed-up B-lister, circa 1984? Desperately bobbing up and down like a drunken uncle at …

I can’t imagine how difficult it must be to devise the puzzles in an adventure game. As a player, you want to be given tasks that are intriguing but not being overly complex; mentally stimulating without ever veering into the badlands of frustration. If the solutions are too easy or …

I get it. I understand that pain. The wrenching, invasive feeling of having something you hold dear torn away. The sense that something you treasure is about to be stolen, turned into something less good, and handed back to you. Remakes of films are perturbing things, and it seems they’re …

Want to play something but finding yourself pressed for time? Is work/school/childcare taking up most of your day? Not been able to start The Division yet because you’ve still got other games on the go, even though you really want to? Hey, we’ve all been there (I still haven’t even …

The Outsider is a weekly column written by an author looking at the games industry from the outside. The views of The Outsider do not necessarily represent those of the GamesRadar+ team Nobody cares. I hate to be the one to tell you, but most of what occurs during the …

First-person or third-person? Gritty realism or Technicolor space-opera? Tactical scope, or magical long-bow? Now that it’s out, it’s time to rake The Division (opens in new tab) over the comparison coals and finally work out this whole ‘Is it better than Destiny (opens in new tab)?’ thing once and for …

New Ghostbusters means new gear. Sure, the trailer looks like it’s the old familiar proton packs but there are some modernising tweaks to the line up, and some completely new stuff as well. Let’s start with the proton pack. It’s still basically a portable particle accelerator, but modernised with more …

As if No Man’s Sky (opens in new tab)’s unfathomably large galaxy of procedurally generated planets wasn’t big enough, that near infinite number of worlds is really only half the game. The other half takes place in between all those uncharted biomes, in the vast space that separates each solar …
