By Scott McCrae| GamesRadar+ Verified Ubisoft has released a new patch for Assassin's Creed Shadows to improve stability and fix some of the game's issues. Assassin's Creed Shadows has done pretty well, being the best-selling game in the US since it was released back in February 2025 (and second best-selling in 2025 overall, behind Monster Hunter Wilds). However, it hasn't been without issues, with the game's previous patch fixing problems like the 30fps cap in hideouts and some NPCs just refusing to die.
37 years later, Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound finally makes me appreciate the series' 2D era - this is a must-play for modern fans
By Scott McCrae| GamesRadar+ Verified If you asked me on any day of the week, I would tell you that I love Ninja Gaiden, but what I really mean by that is I really love the Team Ninja character action games (and even then I only really like the first two of those). But the NES originals are a bit of a blind spot for me. I’ve played bits and pieces of them, but I’ve never been able to stomach the whole thing due to how frustratingly difficult they are (which can be said of the modern games, but there are less death pits there).
Nintendo needs to be "super transparent" with potential paid Mario Kart World DLC for Switch 2, former marketing leads say, as "people are already questioning the $80 price tag"
By Scott McCrae| GamesRadar+ Verified It feels like Mario Kart World DLC could be an inevitability, but two of Nintendo's former marketing leads think the company shouldn't be too hasty with announcing extra paid content for the upcoming Switch 2 game. Nintendo can be pretty weird about DLC. Sometimes games have it announced right away, like certain Mario Sports titles, and other times it arrives years down the line, like with Captain Toad.
