Sound the horns for the apocalypse is surely upon us. Microsoft are now officially supporting cross platform play between Xbox Live and other networks, including those of other consoles like PSN.

Washing up on the shores of this cursed island, you can’t shake the feeling of déjà vu. Your sanctuary seems ever so familiar, the crumbling castles and fetid dungeons remind you of adventures you’ve taken long ago. While your weapons and armour look different, your mind drifts keeps drifting to…

If you picked up Heavy Rain when it was originally released in 2010 on the PS3, you’ll find yourself thinking ‘this really hasn’t changed.’ There has been a small upgrade on graphics and some added bonuses but the remaster doesn’t have the same ‘wow’ factor that I remember the original…

Hitman represents a return to form for our shiny-headed assassin, harkening back to the glory days of Hitman Blood Money rather than his last outing Hitman Absolution, which was poorly received by fans of the series due to both its attempts to humanise Agent 47 and its rather lacking story…

Ubisoftification. A term to describe the recurring negative aspects of Ubisoft’s recent games; excessive pointless collectibles, conquerable landmarks that reveal more of the map, repetitive loot with little purpose, you get the gist. Despite the change in setting from the Himalayas to Oros, a fictional valley in Central Europe, and…

Oh my god this looks awesome. Sorry, composure. Seriously though, this latest Doom multiplayer trailer looks freaking sweet. ID Software's montage of pain shows off the suite of weaponry at the player's disposal including shotguns, energy weapons, railguns and rocket launchers. We also get a peak at the kind of…

I swore that I wouldn’t get suckered into the hype this time. After being burnt by Dark Souls II, I was going to remain as uninterested in Dark Souls III as humanly possible and go into it with no excitement for the final instalment in the trilogy. This plan failed…

In an unexpected turn of events, Microsoft have announced via Xbox Wire that they are cancelling development of Fable Legends and shutting down Lionhead Studios, the developer behind the Fable series as part of a move to focus its investments on 'the games and franchises that fans find most exciting and…

Xbox gamers can finally join in the rocket-powered football shenanigans as Rocket League bursts onto the Xbox One.

Bravely Default acted as a shot in the arm for menu-based JRPGs, updating some creakier aspects of battle and reducing much of the bloat which has plagued this oldest of RPG combat systems. When a Bravely Default sequel was teased at the end of the first game, it became a…

Earlier this week, No Man’s Sky briefly appeared on the US PlayStation Blog for $60 alongside a surprise early release date of March 3. Oh look, that’s today! Unfortunately, you won’t find copies of No Man’s Sky at your local retailer just yet - March 3 is actually the date…

Over the last week, there was a big preview event for Dark Souls III in Hamburg, giving many big sites access to the first section of From Software's grim fantasy epic. Just as a warning to anyone who doesn't want their virgin eyes tainted by the site of Dark Souls…

Hell has become one of those go-to levels for game design, being as exciting as the snow or desert area. There’s always some fire, brimstone, lava and possibly a pointy-horned demon cackling at the damned, with artists and designers very rarely straying from the same design of Hell which has…

The Flame in the Flood pits the player against the elements as you lead Scout and her faithful dog Aesop down a harsh river system in post-societal America.

This last weekend saw Europe gather together as a continent of Smashers to not only battle it out amongst themselves, but to defend its crown from the invading American force. The final event of the European Smash Circuit, BEAST 6, saw some ridiculous sets, new fan favourites being born and…

Considering that Microsoft’s Xbox brand is one the big juggernauts of gaming, it seems that few people cast their minds back to where it all began. Competing with Sony’s PlayStation 2 and Nintendo’s criminally under-appreciated GameCube, the original Xbox was the award middle child of that generations consoles. It bolstered…

Get Your Ass to Mars. Yes I know technically Mass Effect did get its ass to Mars in Mass Effect 3, but my point stands; The Technomancer looks to be heavily inspired by Bioware games, specifically the Mass Effect series with more than a pinch of CD Projekt Red's The…

Be careful around the rivers in The Flame in the Flood, an upcoming rogue-like for PC and Xbox One where the river can be your greatest ally or the cause of your untimely demise. The Flame in the Flood's developers, The Molasses Flood, have release another handy survival guide to…

Fellow Tenno, it has come to my attention that many of you do not fully understand what it means to play as or with Limbo. The gentleman frame is not a troll, nor is it a useless tool to use against the Grineer, Corpus, Infested and Sentients. In fact, my…
