Deadpool has always been the kind of character who doesn’t just break the fourth wall – he smashes it to pieces with a wink and a grenade. Bringing him into VR almost feels inevitable, and with Deadpool VR, Oculus Studios and Twisted Pixel are making that happen. After years of solid Marvel tie-ins in traditional gaming, this project feels like a bold leap into something more experimental, with Deadpool’s chaotic energy perfectly matched to VR’s sense of immersion. We went hands-on at Gamescom to see how it’s shaping up. Continue reading “Deadpool VR preview (Gamescom)”

Turok: Origins preview (Gamescom)
The Turok franchise has always had a special place in gaming history. A heady mix of first-person shooting, sci-fi spectacle, and of course dinosaur hunting, it carved out a niche in the late 90s that’s been remembered fondly ever since. With Turok: Origins, Saber Interactive is reviving the series for modern hardware, promising epic encounters with prehistoric beasts and alien foes alike. After getting hands-on time with the game at Gamescom, we walked away impressed by its scale and ambition – though not without a few reservations. Continue reading “Turok: Origins preview (Gamescom)”

NCSoft is best known for its online RPGs, but with Cinder City the publisher is moving into new territory with an ambitious mix of MMO mechanics and tactical shooting. Developed by BigFire Games, the title was previously teased as “Project LLL” but re-emerged at Gamescom 2025 with a new name, a clearer vision, and a playable demo.
