The sun is shining, the birds are cheeping and the wind has died down - what better time to grab the bike and head out on a two wheeled adventure. That is what many cycling fans will be doing in the months ahead, and with the cycling season kicking off today with the Giro d'italia, the biggest name in the sport is gearing up for another release. Yep, the Tour de France is coming and today we get the first details and release date of the 2018 video game. 

Are you ready to jump behind the controls of some of the intense race crafts known to man? Aqua Moto Racing Utopia is here!

If you're after a new wargame, and like a bit of turn-based strategy, then heading off on a Drive on Moscow should be something to seriously consider.

Ever wanted to bounce to the rescue? Of course you have and now you'll be able to do just that with the Bounce Rescue squad on Xbox One. 

If you've got some veterans from the Command & Conquer era behind it, then chances are 8-Bit Armies will already have strong footings. Today, as a new gameplay trailer releases, the team at SOEDESCO have confirmed the release date.

Combining bikes, ATVs and UTVs, Mx Vs ATV All Out is the latest title from THQ Nordic to thrust us into the insane lifestyle of an off-road rider. After releasing just a month ago, and already having been treated to a number of DLC offerings, new content packs are back and this time we see a number of new bikes arrive courtesy of Yamaha and Honda. 

It's been a quiet time for the Garden Warfare 2 brigade, with EA seemingly happy with how their fun-packed shooter was holding up. Now though there's a new DLC pack in town and this brings access to a ton of rare abilities and items. 

There are two ways you can keep your sports title fully up-to-date - either create a whole new game each and every year (ala FIFA, Madden and PES), or just be content with your previous offering and instead drop a yearly roster update, allowing fans to keep their experience rolling with a season update. It is the latter which has today hit AFL Evolution on Xbox One. 

It's been available for a year or so, but today Paladins is fully embracing 2018 as a Season Pass, Champions Pack and Digital Deluxe Edition rocks up on to Xbox One.

Is there a game that is more hotly anticipated than Red Dead Redemption 2? I don't think so and that means the latest trailer just has to be watched. 

It's all well and good sitting in your front room, gaming away with your closest mates and never seeing the outside world. But gaming is about connecting, and there is no better way to meet like-minded people than by taking in a gaming festival or two. With 2018 in full swing, the Rapture Gaming Festival is gearing up to take some of the very biggest names in the industry around the UK. 

If you think of Zen Studios, then you'll immediately think of pinball. Well, remove that thought straight from your brain as today Zen are here with a whole new initiative, helping the PC hit Disco Dodgeball make its way to console. It won't be long before it arrives either. 

Headup Games have been a little quiet of late, but now they are back with a bang as they confirm the release date for their post-apocalyptic sea monster hunt - Earth Atlantis. 

Can't wait for Dark Souls Remastered? Well, Xbox One and PS4 players will be able to get a little taster of the action ahead of the official release date as Bandai Namco detail the Network Test schedule. 

If you're a horse racing fan, then your only gaming option has been to take in the absolutely dire Horse Racing 2016, letting you put your jockey skills to the test. Now though a second game comes running into view - but whether or not it'll push the horse racing genre to the next level is very much up for debate.
