Gamescom has Gamesgone and after a ferocious week of pushing through crowds, eating the cheapest food we could find and playing an unscrupulous amount of games, Sam and I sat down to shout very loudly at each other over what we thought was the dopest thing we saw all week. We took everything into account, both factoring in presentations and …

We had a tradition in my university residence, a weekly movie club of sorts. Every Saturday, to recover from the hangovers that usually followed a Friday night out, a group of friends and I would gather in the common room and watch a horror film. The selection rotated every week so that we all got a chance to choose what …

We recently had a chance to chat to Top Gear;s Freddie Flintoff, fresh off of filming series 27 and deep in production on the next season. We had questions for him, he had answers for us on everything from the most beautiful filming spots in the world to Top Gear almost losing a host in a morbid but hilarious manner. Here’s what he had to say.

What are you most looking forward to this month?

Borderlands 3 may only be out in September, but you can return to Pandora right now…Kind of. Over in Fortnite, a slice of the map has been transformed into a cel-shaded section of the infamous planet, complete with a few challenges that can net players some neat loot to unlock along the way even if you don’t own the season x Battle Pass.

The month ahead looks set to be a scrumptious buffet of all you can play choices. Fantasy! Action! SPORTS BALL! Here’s a look at what September has in store for hungry gamers.

We’ve got a guide here that’ll get you through some of the trickier parts of Control, so sit back, take some notes and let your ol’ uncle D help you get back to what matters most in Control: Unrelenting gunplay and superpower action from the masters of Max Payne and Alan Wake.

When I booted up MXGP 2019 and greeted by its slick character customisation, I thought things had changed. See, Milestone has been making MXGP videogames with the FIM Motocross World Championship licence for years, and they’ve featured the smallest, most iterative of upgrades in all that time. Even when they moved to a more modern piece of development software with …

How do you improve on perfection? How do you take nature’s greatest killing machine, the ninja, and make the apex of stealth better? One, if you think ninjas are the result of fiction and Michael Dudikoff movies then shut up because have you ever seen a ninja? Check and mate, heretic. Two, cybernetics of course. Duh, man do I have …

The third-person action, while slick and elegant, is perhaps a little pedestrian, but the completely bonkers story and the rewarding sense of exploration and discovery help cement Control as one of Remedy's best games.

Bandai Namco is one of the eclectic publishers, it’s kinda difficult to pin down what exactly they’re all about. Ubisoft are publishers usually driven to create immersive, expansive open worlds, Sony often places an emphasis on cinematic presentation and narrative and EA likes money; they all kinda have some form of speciality that they’re known by. Bandai Namco on the …

Top Gear’s roster of hosts might change, there may be a new fastest car around the track on any given day of the week and the show may change with the times, but there’ll always be one constant: The Stig. Some say that his nipples are shaped like the Nurburgring and that his sweat can clean precious metals, but all we know is that Top Gear’s resident racing driver is Top Gear at its best: Focused, able to throw a million Rand's worth of car around a corner with reckless abandon and able to say a thousand words without ever opening his mouth.
