Or, more accurately, with Arrowhead Game Studios, the studio behind the smash hit. A new rumour has popped up, suggesting that the studio

I want to talk to you about guts. Not the Berserk character, though Dragon’s Dogma 2 does have very big swords. Nor the courage to jump at a beast five times your size to try to take it down – though Dragon’s Dogma 2 has that, too. And definitely not guts in the British parlance,

The Last of Us and The Last of Us Part 2 director Neil Druckmann has shared a new insight into developer Naughty Dog’s next game.

Stocks in worms, sand, and knife fights have never been higher, which is great news for both the youth of Margate and the developers of Dune Awakening, who now find themselves owning a golden goose of an IP following Dune 2’s release.

Super Mario 64 isn’t quite a timeless game, given its occasionally clunky controls and funky level design, but it was one that I imagine many will play

It’s been a rough week at EA, with the company laying off almost 700 staff members and cancelling an unannounced Mandolrian game, but thankfully it’s not all bad news.

The trailer for the next big update that’s coming to GTA Online has just dropped, and what’s Rockstar got in store for us this time? Well, it’s helping out non-corrupt law enforcement and seeing how chicken burgers get made. Yup, if you’re looking for something GTA-ish to do while you wait for more news on

Only last week, I was doing the usual: Helldiving with the homies. Taking on Automatons and helping out with the war effort. We’re a bunch of dorks. That’s not surprising, we’ve been like this for years. What did surprise me is the willingness of other Helldivers 2 players – who, from what I can tell,

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League isn’t the final outing for the Arkhamverse’s Batman we’d hoped for, but Kevin Conroy’s off-beat posthumous performance was fantastic. It wasn’t his final one, however. Enter Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths – Part 3. IGN broke the news of the actor’s involvement in the upcoming animated DC movie
