I want to be absolutely clear right at the outset of this article: I love Mass Effect. Mass Effect teaser for N7 Day 2023. Adore it, even. I’m a big ol’ science fiction nerd – and Mass Effect sits up there as one of my absolute favorite sci-fi universes. Above Trekking and Wars; far in

Epic Games has admitted that its digital storefront still isn’t profitable after launching five years ago.

Nintendo is all about reinventing the wheel where it can – and that attitude follows through even to more simple, straightforward genres – like racing games. This has worked for good and for ill – part of the reason why we’re still waiting on more F-Zero is presumably because developers have been unable to come

It’s N7 Day, and Bioware could be teasing Mass Effect 5, from what we gather anyway. Bioware has been teasing fans with codes to decipher, two of which revealed video clips.

Lower Decks isn’t a ‘traditional’ Star Trek show. That sentence makes perfect sense, right? Of course it’s not a ‘traditional’ Star Trek show. It’s a cartoon. The characters all speak really quickly like they’re in a cartoon. It’s animated, and it’s written and produced like a cartoon, because it’s a cartoon. In reality, the concept

Some mild spoilers for Alan Wake 2 ahead. Alan Wake 2 is a game full of confident moments that reject pre-conceived notions of how certain genres should play out, something which is increasingly rarer in the AAA games space. After all, one of the game’s best moments (which almost got cut) is something many would

Daredevil: The Man Without Fear, originally meant to release in 2003 but never saw the light of day, is now playable for the first time. There are plenty of games that get announced, have all the right ingredients, but still get cancelled for one reason or another. You would think that a character like Daredevil,

Sonic and Mario’s rivalry is possibly destined to never end, as one Sega executive has said he wants the blue blur to “surpass Mario.” The battle between Mario and Sonic is a tale as old as time, going back all the way to the days when Sega still made consoles. Of course, as beloved as

Hearthstone Battlegrounds, the auto-battler spin-off to Blizzard‘s card game Hearthstone is getting its own spin-off, with a new team-based mode that will allow you to group up with your friends and throw down with opponents.  The new mode was announced on stage at Blizzcon 2024 by the lead director, Cora Georgiou, and the new mode

BlizzCon 2023 is here, folks, and we have a date with another one of the Diablo 4 Campfire Chat livestreams. On this special episode of the developer-led, but less formal than standard dev streams, Blizzard will touch on what more we can expect in Season of Blood, and even beyond that. Are we going to

Project L will finally be playable once again 92 days after we first got our hands on it at Evo 2023. The news was sneakily revealed on the Project L website this weekend with little fanfare. However, if you want to play Riot Games’ upcoming fighting game, you’ll need to be on Seoul, Korea. This

From Alan Wake (he’s A. Wake, get it? Get it?) to Miles Prower, there are loads of video game protagonists whose names are rubbish puns. Well, actually there aren’t, but it’s happened just often enough that there’s sufficient material for this edition of VG247’s Best Games Ever Podcast. Halloween fell between the gaps of our

Overkill and Starbreeze have released the first patch for Payday 3 and it features some balancing and fixes technical issues.

Fallout 5 is technically being worked on in some capacity. This is generally all we know about the next mainline Fallout game however, with Microsoft and Bethesda keeping quiet for now. This is likely because the team will be releasing two major titles before Fallout 5. Starfield is the first Bethesda game that is set

According to the bigwigs at Electronic Arts, EAFC 24’s launch managed to turn the popular FIFA series into a “powerful, interactive platform for the future of football fandom.” Yes, that’s the same game which, quite recently, briefly suffered from an issue involving sticky balls which proved such a big problem that some players were afraid
