Well here's a story I wasn't expecting to write when I got up this morning: Zenless Zone Zero's notorious jiggle physics have struck again, only not like that. Eagle-eyed fans have discovered that, following the gacha game's latest update, its ambient cats now stroll gamely about the place with their testicles wiggling majestically from side to side.

Call of Duty veteran Jason Blundell has confirmed previous reports he's heading up a new PlayStation first-party studio, revealing it to be named Dark Outlaw Games.

According to Microsoft's Phil Spencer, the highly anticipated Xbox handheld is "several years out" and only exists in prototype form, so what should we make of last week's news that actually, we may see a handheld later on this year? Leaks are suggesting that Microsoft has put together some kind of OEM device proposition, with Asus lined up to produce the first 'Project Kennan' handheld. In my opinion, expectations from this device should be tempered and we should think of it more as one further step down the road that'll see Xbox merge in some way with Windows - a significant undertaking, but a crucial one that needs to be proved out and battle-hardened before next generation hardware arrives in the next few years.

A fresh version of Nintendo's iconic GameCube controller looks to be in development for Switch 2, fans think.

Mortal Kombat 2 will be coming to theaters 24th October, and now we have a fresh look at the upcoming sequel.

This week, we passed the 10-year anniversary of beloved fantasy author Terry Pratchett passing away - a person whose influence spread wider than the fiction he wrote. A person whose influence we can feel in places still. Places like The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion, a remake of which is apparently imminent.

Grand Theft Auto 5 on PC has finally received the RT upgrades to achieve feature parity with the current generation console versions, almost three years since they arrived on Xbox and PlayStation consoles. The wait was worth it as scalability is impressive and the game also includes the ability to toggle ray traced global illumination - which may well hint at the kind of RT features we can expect to see in the upcoming Grand Theft Auto 6.

Actress Ashly Burch has responded to the leaked AI Aloy footage, which made the rounds earlier this week.

Hello and welcome back to our regular feature where we write a little bit about some of the games we've been playing.

Early last year, the first widely available multi-gig broadband was announced for the UK market, offering download speeds up to 1.6Gbps over the Openreach FTTP network. As an irredeemable nerd who gets overexcited at the prospect of a download progress bar reaching heretofore unseen speeds, I knew that I had to try it out to see if it actually offered a noticeable improvement over the more readily available 900Mbps BT service I had before. Would there be a tangible benefit for gaming, content creation and downloading Linux ISOs?

God of War's Kratos has had a busy life: he's birthed a teenager, slain the gods, and grown the kind of luscious beard that would make a lumberjack fume - all that and he's only 20 years old! And to celebrate Kratos and the God of War series' big two-oh, Sony is releasing a free update for 2022's Ragnarök that'll include some classic-inspired skins.

With Assassin's Creed Shadows now less than a week away, Microsoft has announced it'll be the latest to title to join Xbox's steadily growing "Stream your own games" service.

Intel's Arc B580 graphics card impressed us a few months back, thanks to genuinely decent performance with plenty of VRAM at a mainstream price, but we never got around to reviewing the even cheaper B570 model - until now. That might not be such a bad thing though, as it's meant that we could spend some real time using this GPU as it's meant to be used, get an idea of availability and run some extra tests on the driver overhead issues identified by the tech press post-launch.

Final Fantasy 14's next patch, 7.2, will release on Tuesday 25th March.

In a lot of ways, Fragpunk is much better than I expected it to be. One round the other day began with a wave of frantic team chat screams - standard, for a competitive shooter in the CS:GO mould - only this time the usual storm of verbal friendly fire came with a twist: "BIG HEAD MODE! BIG HEAD MODE! GIVE THEM BIG HEADS!!!!"
