Two of my favourite shots from cinema history. The images that build a bridge between The Godfather Parts 1 and 2.

Those films would simply hold far less feeling without Diane Keaton in them. Irreplaceable.

The multiplayer is where this one shines, but if you're just interested in the single-player side of things, I can't recommend Battlefield 6.

That's why we split our shooter reviews into parts!

Reviewed the Battlefield 6 campaign. It's flashy at times with some solid gunplay, but beneath it all, it's just criminally dull.

Battlefield 6 Campaign Review - IGN

Battlefield 6's campaign is a safe, dull reimagining of what the series once was, rather than a bold reinvention of what it could be.

Went to Seoul a couple of weeks ago to check out Crimson Desert for this month's IGN First!

We'll have plenty more new gameplay and developer insights coming throughout October.

Difficult to put into words just how impeccably well-designed Hades 2 is.

Every single second spent playing it is satisfying, and I'm annoyed every other second that I'm not.

Just feel the need to reiterate that I enjoy all of the games I list here, even giving almost all of them 8, 9 or 10 for IGN.

I'd just like to see a little more variety in the themes they tackle from now on, is all!

I enjoyed Ghost of Yotei a lot — as I have many recent PS5 exclusives — but I’m starting to get a little bored with the same themes repeating themselves.

Here’s a piece on grief, revenge, and PlayStation's struggle for new stories.

This Ghost of Yotei shot may be the best I've taken in a game.

Counting down the hours until I sit down with a Tango Ice Blast to watch One Battle After Another in Vistavision tomorrow. Heaven.

In case you had any doubts that Ghost of Yotei wouldn't be a stunner to wander around in.

Very much enjoyed Ghost of Yotei. Just like Tsushima, I may have spent half of my time in photo mode again, though...

Combat is even better in Yotei with those one-on-one duels being the highlight again.

Plus, disarming your opponent and sending their sword flying through the air feels great every time.
