Since 2000, China has had a ban on the sale of games consoles nationwide While it was possible to get hands on a console, especially in Shanghai, the ban stifled companies like Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo from selling their consoles across the enitre country.

The graphical fidelity of the game was seriously staggering, and the work Id software had done to bring the iconic Doom gameplay to the new generation of consoles…I have to say, It exceeded my expetaction. When talking to GameSpot at QuakeCon, the game's executive producer, Marty Stratto said that this was a mission statement of the[...]

We can confirm that Hulk Hogan will not appear in WWE 2K16. The publisher would not confirm if it would remove reference to the wrestler in previous games, but admitted it was a "fair question". I personally don't have anything to add here, but If I hear more, I will make sure to keep you guys informed. [...]

It no longer has The Final Chapter subtitle either, so I assume that means we can expect more games from the series. The sequel is available for £5.59 on Steam and I haven't yet had a go at it It will be interesting to see what the home invasion aspect brings to proceedings. Well this is[...]
