We had an inkling that Arc Raiders was going to be good when it released, following a massively successful beta, but I don’t think anyone could’ve predicted it’d achieve this kind of success.

Read MoreStar Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2 is an unfinished game. Impressively unfinished, really. So unfinished that it doesn’t so much have a final level as it does an idea for one that you just kind of percolate through until you hit credits. I can’t blame Obsidian; the studio had an incredibly short time […]
Read MoreIt is 2019: Larian is announcing its new RPG, Baldur’s Gate 3. The studio releases a short, cinematic teaser with an emphasis on body horror—the ceremorphosis of an unwitting guard rendered in horrible, gory detail.

It’s official, Total War: Warhammer 40k is real, and at some point in the next few years, we’ll be dropping into the Imperium of Man to fight and conquer our way across the stars.

One of the biggest mysteries in Arc Raiders, even preceding its full release, has been how matchmaking works. During the beta, there was talk of a gear-based matchmaking system that had some players convinced it stuck around. But now the community has decided that Arc Raiders has a different kind of matchmaking. I’ve dubbed it […]

Geoff Keighley flytipped a statue in the desert, Larian made some cryptic tweets, there was a brief period where lots of people were saying The Elder Scrolls 6 and Half-Life 3 for some reason, and now it’s all over.

An ongoing effort in Arc Raiders has been patching all the wall exploits that dastardly players have been using for their own selfish gain; I mean, seriously, who’d do something like that? The exploit saw players go out of bounds and even access high-level loot rooms like the Dam Control Tower. Our greed knows no […]

I am an absolute fighting game sicko, and something I love is when I see the genre’s influence reaching far-flung corners of the industry. Kind of in the way two guys with meticulously groomed moustaches will give a knowing nod when they walk past each other in the street. Upon watching arcade racer Screamer’s latest […]

Something I didn’t know until after diving into upcoming lightning-fast arcade racer Screamer was that the series has actually been around since 1995. A game developed as the PC’s answer to Namco’s Ridge Racer before its sequel delved more into rally racing. The new Screamer—set to launch next year—has a very different vibe to its […]

Forest 3 was one of those super crowded Game Awards trailers, sandwiched between the Tomb Raider reveal and a skit about the Invincible fighting game’s latest character reveal.

You know how awards work. One person comes out, makes a little speech, and then opens an envelope. Sometimes there’s a duo so they can have a comedic little back and forth before presenting the award. Very rarely, I’d say, does the entire cast of a movie come on stage all at once to open […]
