Feature: Every Stadia game coming at launch and beyond
It's been just over a week since Google announced their big launch line-up of Stadia games, but with E3 2019 now drawing to a close that list has now become ever so slightly longer, with new tiles such as Ubisoft's Watch Dogs Legion, Square Enix's Marvel's Avengers and more joining the ranks. To help keep track of them all, here's a list of every Google…

Feature: Listen to these dads
The dadification of games continues. So we’re going full Dad this week on the RPS podcast, the Electronic Wireless Show, as we’ve been asked to talk about the games we play with our children. Alec’s daughter is excited by the unlockable characters in Rayman Legends (and she’s also strangely fascinated by Battletech). John’s son is a bit younger and likes to watch his dad diving…

Somehow, in gaming's fourth decade, we're still endlessly confronted by the peculiar mainstream misconception that video games are meant for children. The peculiarity that this myth maintains is outright ludicrous at this point, because gaming itself is now mainstream. Sure, in the early '90s you could forgive a confused aunt for not realising that cartoony console games like Mario and Sonic had broad appeal, and…

Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day of the year, perhaps for all time. 2013’s Rayman Legends is the most recent game I’ve been playing with my three-year-old daughter, and by ‘playing’ I mean ‘she watches me play while asking approximately 80 Why? questions per minute.’

Haven't you always wanted to meet Sam Fisher and take home a photo of him pretending to snap your neck? Why not bungee from a Venetian rooftop into a haystack (don't worry, it's not real hay!)? Dare you ride a rollercoaster named Uplay? All these dreams and more may very well - let's say it: will almost definitely - come true, as Ubisoft have announced…

Feature: The French Perfection
Rayman: Legends Legumes is the sequel to the unexpectedly brilliant Rayman: Origins Oranges. The latter, starring a character that I had little interest in and whose style of running and jumping didn't seem particularly suited to the PC, was one of my favourite games of last year. With that in mind, I approached Legumes without any prejudice but instead with a deep-seated cynicism. I am…
I hadn't entirely forgotten that Rayman Legends is coming out on PC, but I had put it to the back of my mind as something to be enjoyed in the distant future. It's a mark of how quickly this year has slipped through my fingers that the once distant future is now the end of this very month. While I'm slightly horrified that several months…
Perhaps rather predictably, Ubisoft have just announced that the follow-up to the excellent Rayman Oranges, Rayman Legends, will be coming to PC. And even better news - on the same day as all the other formats, 30th August. To celebrate there are some screenshots, which are like a trailer, but very, very slow-moving.

In retrospect, it'd be kind of silly to name a game "Origins" and then bury the franchise immediately afterward, wouldn't it? And so, somewhat unsurprisingly, Ubisoft's given an official magically levitating thumbs-up to all the Rayman scuttlebutt that's been floating around for the past couple days. Specifically, the game's called Rayman Legends, and - true to the leaked screenshots and video (after the break, courtesy of…
