Multiple versions of Edge of Reality out now

The Xbox achievement community love what is known as a ‘double dip’: a chance to earn double achievements for the same game with multiple achievement stacks.

Except this is a triple dip, with achievement lists for Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and Windows. Edge of Reality is out today on Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch and PC.

A Gaming Icon returns in Tomb Raider I-III Remastered Starring Lara Croft

With a gaming series and protagonist as iconic as this, it’s utterly bizarre why such a long game title is required. Really, is Tomb Raider going to star anyone else?

Visit Hawaii for infinite possibilities in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth

After all the double-crossing, back-stabbing, plot-twisting that goes on in the world of Like a Dragon, isn’t it any wonder that they fancy a vacation? And what better place than the sunny and relaxed vibes of Honolulu in Hawaii. Only joking, this is no time for a holiday! The location may change but the criminality is never far behind: Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth launches today on Xbox, PlayStation and PC.

Tekken 8 Review

The actual fighting is the best it’s been in Tekken; the cinematic moments are a real plus point as you get a brief second to appreciate how good this game looks.
