The big story over Christmas was the DDoS attack on PlayStation Network[...]

Before the console launched, it looked like it could be in a lot of trouble with it's own PR problems which weren't helped by Sony who famously laid a bit of a corporate beat down on Microsoft during E3 2013. The console has since righted itself and in November, it outsold the PlayStation 4 for the[...]

When the price drop was announced by Microsoft, they said that the deal was only going to run through the holiday period Many people expected the price to stick though, especially with the huge spike in sales, but alas, it seems not to be. That is unless Major Nelson is pulling a fast one to make[...]

There was some confusion as to whether the attack actually stopped as both online services were spotty, but it is tough to tell where Lizard Squad stop and Sony and Microsoft's recovery begins. Well, that little debacle seems to be past us now as both the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live have resumed mostly normal service[...]

If you went out and bought The Master Chief Collection, you are probably aware that it gives you access to the Halo 5: Guardians multiplayer Beta in a few

 Platinum was one of the only Japanese developers actively reaching out to an American audience last generation with games like Vanquish and ultimately came up with a cult hit for Sega in their Bayonetta franchise.  The utterly bizarre story revolves around the titular Bayonetta, a witch with guns in her shoes and magic hair that composes her skintight cat suit. The game features fast[...]

After the disastrous Colonial Marines you'd think that Sega would've[...]
