It was always going to be hard to top Microsoft’s presser earlier today, but Ubisoft came out swinging as best as it could this year. Aisha Tyler once again did a sterling (pun intended) job of the hosting duties, with a few surprises thrown in that caught me off guard. I wouldn’t say it was […]
Well, damn. Phil Spencer promised to give us something memorable, but I honestly wasn’t expecting it to be the best Microsoft presser in years. The new hardware was there, the massive gaming lineup was there, but the connectivity with PC was without a doubt the central theme of the show. Choice in playing together As […]
There have been two huge barriers that have stopped me from considering (and as such, trying) VR headsets like the Oculus Rift and the HTC Vive. Firstly, the cost of getting one (beyond that of building a system capable of running it) was well outside my budget. Secondly, programs being locked to specific headsets had […]
It was always going to tough for Bethesda to match their stellar E3 début last year. After all, the element of surprise was no longer there – we knew they could deliver a well-paced show and deliver welcome surprises. As a result their 2016 presser lacked the full force of the 2015 extravaganza, but despite […]
If I could describe the EA Play event in one word, it would be “tease.” It doesn’t help that a number of announcements were spoiled ahead of time, such as Titanfall 2’s single player that looks to mash up Attack on Titan with Fable 2’s dog (it’s going to happen, isn’t it), but it was […]
It’s almost that time of the year again, where gamers stand by for the big news to emerge from E3. As usual, the press conferences will range from mid afternoon to the early hours for us in the UK, but this year will see a number of changes to the schedule in terms of order […]
There’s a series of articles I’ve been wanting to write for a while now regarding the MMOG scene, and their subjects can be boiled down to the following two points. Firstly, I long for an MMORPG where players can affect the overarching story, not just the in-game world. Secondly, I miss having adventures with my […]
It’s taken many attempts for me to get into the MOBA scene. Between needing to learn each character’s role, strength & weakness, as well as dealing with rage when I don’t know what I’m doing, I just haven’t been able to stick with it. That all changed recently, and now I’m finally beginning to understand […]
If I’m honest with you all, I haven’t really played much of Guild Wars 2 this year. After spending countless hours in the Maguuma Jungle, repeating area events and collecting masteries, my enthusiasm dissipated. Sure, I returned for a few weeks when The Shatterer got a much-needed makeover, but I couldn’t stay interested. The reason […]
Like many gamers who bought Ubisoft’s latest title, we’ve been knee deep in a mix of virtual snow, corpses, and random stray dogs over the last few days with The Division. The first part of our review will be hitting the site next week, but we can at least tell you that opinions are positive […]
