There’s a new generation of video games on the way, and one of the first such titles looking to bring the idea of enemy heads erupting in a geyser of maths all so that you can score some sweet loot, is Outriders.

Happy Pokémon Home day! If there’s one complaint that Pokémon Sword and Shield players have had, it’s that it’s kind of hard to actually trade Pokémon with complete strangers when there’s no solid line of communication.

New expansion, new gameplay and New York City!
