WWE 2K24 is one of the few new games (alongside Hades 2 and Balatro) that I’ve actually managed to get stuck into in 2024. After skipping countless WWE video games during the early 2K era, the latest iteration definitely feels like a return to form, providing a nice balance between the fun of old-school wrestling games and the depth of modern sports titles. Despite already containing a roster of Superstars that would make any promoter green with envy, WWE 2K24 is about to get a fresh injection of new talent, courtesy of the ECW add-on pack. Headlined by the Straight…

Dirty Dancing, Back to the Future and E.T. have been named the best 80s movies ever. The 1987 classic starring Patrick Swayze won 12 awards after its release – including an Academy Award for best music. A poll, of 2,000, adults found 43% believe filmmaking has never been better than the era of big hair and legwarmers. Top Gun, Die Hard and The Terminator, also appeared in the top 10. While one in 10 (9%) consider Raiders of the Lost Ark to be among the best from that decade. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise were named the most…

Divas London promises audiences the ultimate party show and it no doubt delivers every moment of camp cabaret fan viewers expect.  The celebration of iconic music divas is having a triumphant return in London’s West End after a sellout run last year and it’s easy to see why.  Stepping foot onto the Tattershall Castle boat on a sunny Saturday afternoon, a room full of strangers could easily be mistaken for a reunion between long-lost friends. The crowd quickly picked up the role of backup singers for their favorite pop hits from the last six decades and by the grand finale…

Most gamers will agree that 2023 was a remarkable year for gaming. So many fantastic games launched over the course of the year, from big-budget blockbusters like Resident Evil 4 Remake and Street Fighter 6, to superb indie games such as Cocoon and Slay the Princess. Nintendo treated us to new releases like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Super Mario Bros. Wonder, as well as high-profile remakes for Metroid Prime and Super Mario RPG. Then there are titles like Baldur’s Gate 3 and Alan Wake 2, which topped many game of the year lists come the…

Nintendo has announced plans to end X (formerly Twitter) support for the Switch. Nintendo Switch users are currently able to post screenshots and videos to X directly from the console. Likewise, fans can also use the Nintendo Switch to send friend requests using the console’s social media functionality. Unfortunately, however, this will all change on June 10, when X integration will be removed from the Nintendo Switch. It’s a move that will affect millions of Nintendo Switch users, who only have a month left to take advantage of the console’s social media features. The news was announced in a post…

ALOK has worked with everyone from Ed Sheeran and Dua Lipa to RAYE, and now he is collaborating with one of the UK’s brightest rising stars. In the end of year musical Hunger Games reckonings for 2023, the Brazilian superstar had more monthly Spotify listeners on Tik Tok than Pharrell, Jason Derulo or (listen up, Eurovision fans) ABBA. ALOK is the fourth-biggest DJ in the entire world with a staggering 6.5 billion streams, so he knows a little about talent and was ager to work with Allegra on her latest track Love You Right Back. He said: “I first discovered…

Eurovision: Olly Alexander performs in the semi-final The Eurovision Song Contest is the longest-running international music competition on television and one of the world’s longest-running television programmes. Since its inception in 1956, it has only missed one year, when it was cancelled in 2020 due to the worldwide Coronavirus restrictions. The show is wildly successful and hugely popular – boasting millions of fans around the world – including me. As a child growing up in Ireland, my parents religiously watched Eurovision, and I was mesmerised by the glitzy costumes and (mainly) catchy tunes. It is pretty much an institution on…

With PlayStation exclusive Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut about to make its debut on PC, fans have been speculating about the next game to make the transition from console to Steam. If the latest leaks are anything to go by, we probably won’t have to wait very long for the big reveal, as Sony gets ready to hold a State of Play event, which is tipped to take place in May. During the imminent State of Play event, Sony is expected to confirm plans to bring God of War Ragnarok to PC later this year. While the release of any…

I’ve been spending the majority of 2024 playing through my extensive video game backlog, finally getting around to completing classics like the original Castlevania and modern blockbusters like Final Fantasy 7 Remake. However, in between visits to Midgar and the castle of Count Dracula, there’s one new release that I’ve been coming back to time and time again. In fact, I’ve spent over 50 hours on the game since picking it up in February. The game in question is Balatro, a poker-themed roguelike that was made by just one person. With a 90% Metascore, it’s also the highest-rated multiplatform game…
