• The Pimax Dream Air costs double the Steam Frame, and while its visuals are worth every penny, its performance demands and inconsistencies make it hard to recommend

  18-09-2026 16:20 via gamesradar.com
  
  PC VR gaming is still alive and well, but it's getting harder and harder to find headsets that give you its original appeal. Most new headsets today focus on the convenience of streaming and wireless connections when it comes to gaming, and in their standalone modes, they just don't have the power to match up against a desktop PC. So, if you want that crystal-clear visual fidelity and lossless connection from your PC's graphics card, there are fewer and fewer places to turn these days. That's wh

  In PUBG: Dednet, death is only the beginning, or at least that's the one-liner plastered over its marketing campaign. The new instalment from the creators of the phenomenon that popularized the battle royale genre, Dednet has learned a lot from its predecessors, taking and shaking up lessons from what came before to apply the same chaotic thrill to a multiplayer FPS by leveraging roguelike elements.Set in the gritty '90s Pacific Northwest-inspired region of Cascadia, one design throughline is cl

• Blacksmiths Discover Control Resonant’s Massive Hammer Is Simply Too Much Hammer

  18-09-2026 15:58 via gamespot.com
  
  The best tool you can own in life is a hammer, and in Control Resonant, fixing Manhattan requires a VERY big one to perform some percussive maintenance. The Aberrant is the melee weapon that you'll wield in battle, and while it can take a variety of forms, it looks especially satisfying to morph it into a gigantic hammer that wouldn't look out of place in a Looney Tunes cartoon if Rob Zombie were directing it. But what would that version of the Aberrant look like in real life? Pretty intimidatin

• The Big Bang Theory spin-off wanted a Green Lantern for its surprise DC crossover episode, but the HBO show prevented it

  18-09-2026 15:57 via gamesradar.com
  
  The trend of mad-capped cameos and character reveals in The Big Bang Theory spin-off Stuart Fails to Save the Universe continued this week when the gang found themselves in the DC Universe and were saved from Mr. Freeze by Jay Garrick, aka The Flash. It's a wonderfully world-breaking moment, but one that could've been considerably different with an added Green Lantern glow, if only they'd got the go-ahead.Speaking to Deadline about their latest episode aptly titled 'We Couldn't Get The Green Lan

  We haven’t even seen Ian McKellen don his shiny red Magneto helmet in Avengers: Doomsday yet, and already he’s being prepped to reprise his other iconic role as Gandalf the Grey in the Lord of the Rings prequel that doesn't have "The Hobbit" in the title: The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum.

• I've watched all the Resident Evil movies, so you don't have to, and here's my ranking from worst to best

  18-09-2026 15:01 via gamesradar.com
  
  With a new movie now out in the wild I've decided that it is time to rank all the best Resident Evil movies. That's right, from Milla Jovovich's outing as Alice in Paul W. S. Anderson's movies to all the reboots set in Raccoon City (including Zach Cregger's new Resident Evil flick), you'll find all eight T-Virus-inflicted films ordered from worst to most entertaining right here. But before you dive into this ranking, first a disclaimer: even as a massive fan of these flicks and of the Resident E

• This is your reminder that Over the Garden Wall is back on Blu-ray, and a must-have fall edition to your physical media collection

  The first sight of crispy orange leaves always leaves me with one desire: "It's time for an Over the Garden Wall rewatch." Yet until recently, this was a pretty arduous task. And I really mean recent, as the latest Blu-ray print of the perfectly autumnal 10-episode animated series launched on April 7 earlier this very year.Before the $17.95 / £14.99 (via Amazon) Blu-ray dropped, the existing release was stuck on random streaming sites and DVD.

• Control Resonant’s Best Aspect Left Me Utterly Speechless

  18-09-2026 15:00 via gamespot.com
  
  Remedy Entertainment's signature style has often made gameplay feel secondary to story. Games like Alan Wake, Quantum Break, and Control had fun gameplay hooks, but the depth mostly lived in their narrative puzzle-boxes, where the answer to each strange mystery created three more questions. Control Resonant breaks from tradition magnificently, revealing a whole new side to Remedy. Armed with deep, engaging combat mechanics in a stunning version of Manhattan that is unforgettable, Control Resonan

• Control Resonant review: "Deeply weird with wondrous supernatural vistas but bafflingly dull combat"

  18-09-2026 15:00 via gamesradar.com
  
  Control Resonant is a weird game, and for once with a Remedy Entertainment joint it's not all for reasons I like. Playing through Dylan Faden's open adventure across a Manhattan warped by paranatural forces, bonking angry creatures with an equally paranatural big stick, I'm often left scratching my head. Sure, this isn't a numbered sequel, but it is Control's successor – so why is this a much longer, more spread-out, open world (ahem, open-ended world) adventure? Why has the snappy shootin

• Fable lead says "every single member of the team is first and foremost" a fan of the original RPG trilogy

  18-09-2026 14:02 via gamesradar.com
  
  Fable game director Ralph Fulton says the team behind the reboot of the classic RPG series was built with fans of the original games. Rebooting a franchise that has been pretty much dead since 2010 is going to be a daunting challenge for anyone. But for Playground Games, not only are the developers rebooting Fable, a franchise that it did not originally develop, but on top of that, it's the studio's first foray outside of racing games, and it's a game that's garnered over six years of anticipati

  Tom Hiddleston is just about one of the most charming talents in Hollywood, even when it comes to being thrown a curveball on the red carpet that quickly caught him off guard. In a recent interview, the man who has given us Loki for over a decade was asked how the other mega sci-fi franchise, Star Wars, has inspired who he is today. Pausing for thought, the newly appointed God of Stories gave a brilliant answer that sums up precisely what the franchise from far, far away is all about. "I love th

  Ruaridh Mollica, who will make his MCU debut as Tommy Shepherd in VisionQuest, is playing coy about whether his character will have his superpowers or not. Tommy first appeared in WandaVision as a child, but an older version of the character is set to appear in the Vision-centric show. But when ScreenRant asked Mollica if his superspeed powers would factor into VisionQuest, Mollica kept his cards close to his chest and answered: "This is a mystery that I am not comfortable answering."

  VisionQuest showrunner Terry Matalas has confirmed that the Marvel show hasn't used any generative AI in the making of it. This is in spite of the fact that the series, which features the human versions of several AI characters who exist in Vision's head, would have had a pretty perfect excuse. "No, not at all," Matalas confirmed to ScreenRant about not using it. "There hasn't really been a need. All the designs nod to how our current form of AI processes things...
