Alright, crisis adverted. There was a bit of a stink brewing on the internet about the new raid in Destiny launching after the Taken King's release. I

I reported a few days a go that big Mortal Kombat X news is getting announced this week. Well, now we know the parameters of the reveal, and it is pretty

Disney Infinity as a series has evaded me ever since its launch. I had vague notions of what the game was about, but it never quite clicked enough to

I'm particularly interested Assassin's Creed: Syndicate for one reason (well, besides quite liking Assassin's Creed): It's taking place in my backyard.

I love the customisable costumes in LittleBigPlanet. The there is a serious amount of variety when it comes to franchises who lent their likeness to the

Restrictions on online game modes can be frustrating. Sometimes they are absolutely necessary as certain game modes just won't work on certain maps, but

I've been lucky enough to get hand's on with Star Wars: Battlefront, and I thoroughly enjoyed my time with it. I think it is an experience people should

One of the most bizarre yet exciting inclusions in LEGO Dimensions is Portal. While most of the other franchises are huge mainstays in the public eye,

Today is the last day of Destiny streams that have been taking place over the last few weeks. The topic of this weeks stream is The Court of Oryx, the new

Hideo Kojima has been working on Metal Gear for 28 years. That is a near eternity in video games. Very few franchises have that kind of pedigree, and even

Wesker always felt like a antagonist who broke Resident Evil for me. He is an iconic villain sure, but his overpowered sensibilities, somewhat make the

Mortal Kombat X is still going strong and remains one of the biggest game releases of this year. However, after nearly half a year of being out and the

Nuketown remains one of the true favorite Call of Duty maps of all time. The small map can be a little scatter brained, but the setting and condensed

Here is a weird one. Activision and High Moon Studio's title Deadpool, is getting an update to the new-gen as revealed by this GameStop tweet (via

I enjoyed Evolve quite a bit when it came out earlier this year. Hunters fighting an ever growing monster threat is a great idea, and can make for some

I'm excited for Halo 5, more than I think I realized. The franchise remains one of my most beloved, and I can't wait to see what 343 do with the power of

Honestly, I'm probably most looking forward to The Taken King this Q4. This might be sacrilege to some, in a fall period where Fallout 4, Battlefront and

Cities: Skylines is one of the great little gems of this year. The city management game is the best in its genre in a long time, and I wholeheartedly

It was a nice surprise when we found out that Metal Gear Solid V was being brought forward on PC. The port was initially set for a September 15th release

This is a bit of a bizarre story. The need for PC CD-Roms is some what dying. Many computer cases no longer even have CD drive slots, in response to the

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is going to be a big release for a lot of people. The series is many people's favorite, with the original Deus Ex being a classic

We've known for a while that Uncharted 4 is coming in Q1 of 2016. Sadly, the specific details had eluded us up until this point. The game is going to be a

The Taken King is on the horizon now and I'm very excited. The proposed changes are huge and I can't wait to see what Bungie have done to revamp the

Console exclusive content is usually a little silly, and amounts to little but tat. I mean, Hawkmoon in Destiny is one of the big console exclusive

The idea of free-to-play is a weird one. For many, it is a dirty word, associated with mobile games that exist to rake in the money by addiction. For me

The complaint I hear most often leveled at DICE's Star Wars: Battlefront reboot is that it's just a Battlefield clone with a Star Wars skin. Honestly,

So I thought I had quietly retired my last game of the year, Dragon Age: Inquisition. The game gave me a good 70 hours, which is more than enough time

Lawbreakers' gameplay was revealed on Friday, and I thought it looked pretty fun. The free to play game is currently only announced on PC, and is being

This week we got our first look at how Michael Fassbender will appear in the Assassin's Creed movie. One of the cool things, I think, is that the movie

We exist in a hype culture that is such, that teasers for teasers aren't a rare thing anymore. In fact, they are near expected. I suppose that is why I
