We know nothing of the story, the enemies we'll be fighting or the world the game will take place in. I thought we might have seen these details expanded on at either of Sony's Press Conferences at TGS or Paris Games Week, but alas, t'was not to be This is on purpose though President of Sony[...]

Most first person shooter games have fairly personality deficient protagonists because, it's partially your perspective It is meant to be you Adding too much personality and character can alienate yourself from the actions on screen Beyond that, Chief is more or less only defined by his relationship with Cortana (more on that later…). What he is[...]

Almost all of their major games feature one, and Call of Duty consistently makes the most exaggerated ones. So of course it is not surprising to see a new one for Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 This time around Michael B Jordan is enlisted to, like a lot of the time in these trailers, really[...]

The game, has just exploded ever since the first game came out last year, already with four games to the franchise's name.

It's appeared in several games so far, and it is now a 'pre-order' bonus for Black Ops 3…which is a bit odd. The map is free to anyone who buys the game early, and it really seems to have come even alive with the advanced movement and abilities added You can get a look at the[...]

It's coming to the end of the month, which means one thing in the games calendar Free games are on the horizon PlayStation have finally revealed their hand for games coming to their platforms in November with PlayStation Plus. The underrated (in my estimation) Telltale The Walking Dead Season 2 headlines the month coming to PlayStation[...]

Speaking to GamesRadar+, the Franchise Director has given some in lore reasons as to[...]

Every few months or so, I'll meet someone who swears by it, which convinces me that NieR: Automata will find its audience. It will also be double pronged on that front  too, because the game is being developed by Platinum Games, who have only garnered more and more fans as they've gone On that front, the[...]

Mirror's Edge Catalyst will see the series make what some might call an 'unlikely return'. The divisive first game had passionate fans, but it was thought

I know the director of those games, and he's a nice guy, or at least he's nice to me. Carpenter is a big fan of games, even actively chasing a Dead Space movie at one point It's good to see he's been lenient over Solid Snake That character has changed a ton since his inception, now taking[...]
