Bit Golem’s Ultimate Fishing Simulator was a surprise hit of 2018. Despite its inherent niche design, it was easy to tell the devs had put plenty of time and work into the final product.

Epic Games has revealed a new tech showcase for Unreal Engine 5 which gives us a taste of what PlayStation 5 (and next-gen) graphics may look like. The demo itself (which Epic calls “Lumen in the Land of Nanite”) focuses on a young woman raiding a tomb in a non-copyright manner. We see her navigate the area outside of a tomb/temple before claiming her treasure. Along the way, we also see basic UI commands and similar HUD elements which suggest that this is more than just a typical non-interactive tech demo....

We always knew Riot Games would reveal a new Valorant agent when the tactical hero shooter launches on June 2. However, many expected we would only meet the new character on launch day, much like Riot only revealed Raze when the closed beta began. Instead, the Valorant team has treated us to a surprise introduction to the new, vampiric agent, Reyna. Reyna hails from Mexico and doesn’t seem entirely human. During development, her codename was “Vampire”....
This review contains spoilers First: why is this being reviewed on Den of Geek? They’re all aliens, honest. The anteannae are tucked under the wigs, that’s the trick to it. Becky Sharp (Olivia Cooke, brilliant) might as well be an alien in the eyes of prim schoolmistress Miss Pinkerton (Suranne Jones, also great but hardly in it). Becky is low-born but refuses to apologise for it; she’s a girl in the nineteenth century but won’t let it stop her....
While playing COD Warzone 2.0, looting is one of the most important aspects of the game.

I’m what you would call console agnostic and I’ve always been that way even as a wee lad. To me games speak louder than any sort of console loyalty. That said growing up would make you think I was a hardcore Nintendo fan before the PlayStation came out and then it was PlayStation all the way. It wasn’t because I was brand loyal, or anything like that. It was and has always been about the money....
The following contains spoilers for Westworld season 3 episode 8.
