  4. Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 runs well on PS5 and Series X - but last-gen consoles are struggling

    Digital Foundry | Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 runs well on PS5 and Series X - but last-gen consoles are struggling

    But perhaps it's a miracle that they work at all.

    Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 marks the return of developers Treyarch and Raven, a project four years in the making since Black Ops Cold War. In that time, there's been a technical upheaval of sorts. Firstly, Black Ops 6 moves to the IW9 engine, away from Treyarch's own custom engine. This aligns the game's technology with the most recent portfolio of Call of Duty titles and most crucially, the upcoming Warzone component. Using IW9, we'll soon see the gameplay systems in Black Ops 6's campaign roll out to its battle royale mode as well, including the so-called omni-movement that lets players sprint and dive in all directions.

  5. Batman stands in a hall in Wayne Manor in this screen from Batman Arkham City. Text reads "Batman: This is not going to be pretty."

    Every Halloween I return to the Arkham games. It's as much a ritual of mine as playing Super Mario World in the lead-up to Christmas - a personal yuletide delight I absolutely recommend. Batman is made for Halloween, for shadows and hauntings and pumpkin faces leering from misted windows. He dresses up. His enemies dress up. They plan tricks. He's a total treat.

  22. Sonic x Shadow Generations key art showing Sonics and Shadow

    First released in 2011, Sonic Generations is one of the best efforts to bring the blue hedgehog into the third dimension. Building on the boost formula established in Sonic Unleashed, Generations sought to merge 2D and 3D gameplay into a cohesive whole, but Sega never directly followed up on it - until now. Sonic X Shadow Generations's initial reveal made it feel like a remaster with a little extra content bolted on, but this game also serves as a full-length sequel to Sonic Generations, built using the latest version of Hedgehog Engine and packed with incredible stages for all current and last-gen consoles, plus PC. Our tech review looks at that package as a whole, comparing it to the original Sonic Generations release, discussing performance and how the Switch version in particular fares.
