Planet Zoo 2 Review: Sharks, Birds and a Sequel That Earns Its Number
Frontier's zoo sequel adds aquariums, flying birds and Wildlife Reserves, and launch reviews are overwhelmingly positive. Dense menus, launch bugs and six Deluxe-only species hold it back. Score: 8/10.
Valor Mortis Review: Ghostrunner's Makers Slow Down, Mostly for the Better
One More Level trades Ghostrunner's speed for a first-person soulslike in a cursed Napoleonic Europe. Critics praise the setting and parrying and flag the camera, uneven difficulty and story. With a free PS Plus trial and day-one Game Pass, it is easy to test. Score: 7/10.
Battlefield 6 this week: how to play it free on PS5, Steam or Game Pass - and why the $30 shortcut can wait
Battlefield 6 is free to try on PS5 from October 14 and on Steam from October 15, it's now in Game Pass, and EA is selling a $30 kit that unlocks every gun. Here's which route makes sense before you spend anything.
The game-key card is the asterisk on Nintendo's physical-games promise
Ana was relieved to hear Nintendo say it won't ditch physical games. I'm the guy who flips the box over. Switch 2's game-key card means 'physical' no longer guarantees you own anything you can lend or resell - and that's the part that costs players here money.
Dynasty Warriors 3 Remastered Review: Lu Bu Is Still a Problem, and That Is the Point

The 24 GB RTX 5080 Super is back on the rumor mill, now for early 2027 - and the card hasn't changed, only the memory bill has
The RTX 5080 Super rumor has been resurrected again, this time pointing at early 2027. Rene looks at why a card whose only real upgrade is 24 GB of GDDR7 keeps slipping, and what it means if you're sitting on your wallet waiting for it.
Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen Review: The Expansion the Base Game Should Have Shipped With
Capcom's snowy Norgan expansion gives Dragon's Dogma 2 the loot, the bosses and the sense of danger it was missing in 2024. It does not fix the enemy roster or the pawns' habit of vanishing. Score: 8/10.
Modern Warfare 4 now has three release dates - and the disc buyer gets the last one
Infinity Ward is letting digital pre-orders into DMZ on 20 October, days before the full launch. Nice bonus on paper, but for players who buy on disc here it is one more reason to feel like second-class customers.
Nintendo Says It Has No Plans to Ditch Physical Games - And I Needed to Hear That
A Nintendo Latin America executive says the company has no plans to drop physical media, because it knows how much fans like it. With Sony winding down PlayStation discs in 2028, that makes Nintendo the last of the big three still standing by the cartridge - with a couple of honest caveats.
