Rockstar have released a second trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6. It's one of those cinematic clip shows of scenes from the game, setting up the story and relationship between dual protagonists Jason and Lucia. It's horny and boring at the same time. Nope, there's still no word on a PC release, sorry. Read more View the full article

Forza Motorsport's 20th Anniversary Update is one of those batches of content drops that can radically overhaul how you see a game, and it can even qualify as a new launch for 2025 (and the best racing game). My go-to racing game over the last couple of years has been Forza Horizon 5 (yes, I was late to the party), and it has grabbed a special place in my heart since. I have played Forza Motorsport in bits and pieces, but the 20th Anniversary Update has grabbed all my attention. The last few hours of playing it haven't been joyous, but I had to force myself to remember that this isn't a new game. Forza Motorsport's 20th Anniversary Update is a gift from the Gods 2025 hasn't been a good year so far if you're a fan of racing games. The biggest announcement of the first quarter has been the entry of Forza Horizon 5 on PlayStation (says a lot). Like many, I have been desperate to see a glimmer of hope in some form, but the 20th Anniversary Update was certainly not on my Bingo card. From the outside, you might be wondering what's so special. After all, the core gameplay hasn't changed. The graphical aspects remain the same. You won't be wrong with those assumptions, but the amount of content that has been dropped as a free update is nothing short of magnificent. In fact, I can't remember when an update of this scale was made available in the Forza universe. All major 20th Anniversary Update content in Forza Motorsport The shining light of the new update is the Fujimi Kaido destination, which is a paradise for those who love to drift. The 16.5 km long track offers elevation, which allows you to observe the thrill of driving down a tough terrain. This is the perfect challenge to test any driver – you can perform speed bursts when required, but you'll also have to be careful with the turns (all 144 of them!) One of the most beautiful aspects of Forza Horizon 5 is the ability to just drive for fun. The new Meetups system added as part of the update is the perfect way to bond with your friends on the virtual platform. There are no rules, restrictions, or stipulations. Just select a car you love, and jam with your buddies doing whatever you want. The new update has four different types of Meetups, and you can join and leave seamlessly if you want to try something more competitive. Image via Xbox While Fujimi Kaido has everything you need to fall in love with Forza Motorsport, my favorite is the new steering wheel features. You can now enjoy full-fledged steering wheel calibration, allowing you to micromanage how you want your car to talk on the track. No longer will you have to rely on general calibration for all vehicles. To truly test this feature, make sure to use race cars, as they will have fewer degrees of steering lock-to-lock. Forza Motorsport's 20th Anniversary is the perfect tribute to the series The developers have left no stone unturned to make fans fall in love once again with all the previous games. The "20th Anniversary Tour" is a permanent addition in Career Mode, and it will have nostalgic moments from all the older games of the Motorsport franchise. Image via Xbox Forza Motorsport: Drive the 2005 Honda NSX-R in a special livery and MUGEN body kit.Forza Motorsport 2: Drive the 2003 Nissan Fairlady Z across every available mode.Forza Motorsport 3: Get ready to drive the cover car from the third installment of the series - the very beautiful 2010 Audi R8 5.2 FSI quattro.Forza Motorsport 4: You get to ride one of the most beautiful cars ever made in this universe, the 2009 Ferrari 458 Italia.Forza Motorsport 5: The scene changes as you encounter a speed ****** in the form of the 2013 McLaren P1.Forza Motorsport 6: The sixth installment is being represented by the 2017 Ford GT.Forza Motorsport 7: The final installment is being represented by the 2018 Porsche 911 GT2 RS. Completing the full tour will help you unlock the 2022 Acusa NSX Type S and the Nissan Z NISMO, both of which are making their debuts in the series. Completing the Spirit of Motorsport tour also allows you to take all these vehicles. If you're still not satisfied with these cars, there's a special car pack available as well (you'll have to spend extra, and it's not part of the Premium Edition). To celebrate the occasion, there are plenty of weekly and seasonal challenges that you can enjoy in Multiplayer to win more rewards. Do I believe Forza Motorsport will win GOTY in the sports and racing games category this year? No, because it's not a 2025 release, and we know what the rules are. However, the game's 20th Anniversary Update has been more than an actual full release in many ways, making Forza Motorsport the racing game to play in 2025 once again.

The new footage of the long-anticipated sequel just revealed a lot of new info about the mega entertainment title, including the full names of its protagonists (Jason Duval and Lucia Camino), along with some shockingly gorgeous graphics. [Hidden Content] And I mean, REALLY gorgeous graphics. Rockstar's photorealistic visuals look to be stepping things up to a new level with these criminal lovebirds as they romp around the fictional version of Miami that hasn't been seen since Tommy Vercetti was tearing it up in the mid-2000s. "Set in Vice City, Jason & Lucia have always known the deck is stacked against them," the game's new official synopsis says. "But when an easy score goes wrong, they find themselves on the darkest side of the sunniest place in America, in the middle of a conspiracy stretching across the state of Leonida — forced to rely on each other more than ever if they want to make it out alive." The nearly three-minute trailer shows Jason and Lucia caught up in some hot passion, some hot crime, and some hot weather as they look to get their own slice of the American dream, featuring lots of embracing, sensual love, and guns. Guns and crime. The GTA 6 website got a huge overhaul, too, where a lot more information can be found on our stars. " Lucia’s father taught her to fight as soon as she could walk ," it says. "Life has been coming at her swinging ever since. Fighting for her family landed her in the Leonida Penitentiary. Sheer luck got her out. Lucia’s learned her lesson — only smart moves from here. More than anything, Lucia wants the good life her mom has dreamed of since their days in Liberty City — but instead of half-baked fantasies, Lucia is prepared to take matters into her own hands." Jason, meanwhile, " wants an easy life, but things just keep getting harder ," the site says. "Jason grew up around grifters and crooks. After a stint in the Army trying to shake off his troubled teens, he found himself in the Keys doing what he knows best, working for local drug runners. It might be time to try something new." The website also features looks at new characters Cal Hampton, Boobie Ike, Dre'Quan Priest, Real Dimez, Raul Batista, and Brian Heder, all of whom look like your classic, colorful GTA characters brought to the modern era. Image via Rockstar Games GTA 6 was recently delayed to May 26, 2026, so this trailer and site update should keep fans frothing and fiending for more for quite some time.

If you're at all familiar with Deadlock, you might remember some hullabaloo about its 'open secret' status during early testing. Valve's new MOBA/shooter was kept very much under wraps, with the company playing coy right up until the finish line. Even now, it's still invite-only. Why?

What's your favorite Age of Empires 2 campaign? I'm a bit of a purist - for me, it's the Genghis Khan story in The Age of Kings, especially the level where you have to destroy Jin's wonder and smash through the Great Wall of China. But between 42 civilizations, 229 missions, and more than two and a half decades of expansions, there's plenty of choice. Manor Lords is great. Stronghold is a classic. It'd be fantastic to have Command and Conquer back. But AoE 2 remains the best medieval RTS of all time, and possibly the greatest game in the entire genre. Now, Age of Empires 2 Definitive Edition has a new expansion. Read the rest of the story...

While remasters typically face some criticism over changing too much or too little from their source material, The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered has managed to set a new standard for the industry with its surprise release. Utilizing the same engine for the logic of its game world, Oblivion Remastered manages to bring the beloved experience up to the standards of modern audiences, with all the same gameplay quirks I remember. Despite the massively overhauled visuals, it's easy to forget what the original Oblivion looked like after spending countless more hours exploring Cyrodiil in a brand-new light. View the full article

On April 29, a Barnes & Noble product page prematurely announced two upcoming Pathfinder books, Monster Core 2 and Lost Omens: Draconic Codex. Wargamer hit up publisher Paizo to learn more, and creative director Luis Loza says "both of these books gave us an opportunity to take monsters and make them our own". That means more in-depth dragon lore, more high-level combat encounters, and interesting new player options. Yes, that includes playing as a dragon. Read the rest of the story...

Some mods may not deliver on their promises, according to a thorough test of some allegedly performance-improving mods like anti-stutter ones for The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered. There are hundreds of mods for many titles that claim to make improvements on the way the game runs. Sadly, it's possible that some of these mods are nothing more than placebo effects, only making you think that the game is running better than it was before you installed the add-on.

The price of the fastest gaming SSD we've ever tested has just dropped by up to $50, thanks to this latest SSD deal. Amazon says it's a limited-time offer, so you'll need to get in quick, but it enables you to save $30 off the price of a 1TB Samsung 9100 Pro, and $50 off the 4TB model, giving you a discount of up to 15%. I recently gave this drive a score of 8/10 in my Samsung 9100 Pro review, and my only main criticism was the high price. It's otherwise incredibly fast, and this Samsung SSD also runs remarkably cool for a high-speed PCIe 5.0 drive too, earning it a place on our best gaming SSD guide. All versions of the SSD are currently on offer too, spanning 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB capacities, with and without heatsinks. Read the rest of the story...
