With #GamerGate still seeing quite a lot of attention, you'd have thought that developers would try to keep less-than-perfect practises hidden from the general public. Perhaps - in an ideal world - they'd even try to do things by the book, even if just until the controversy has died down. It hasn't happened though, and YouTuber TotalBiscuit has revealed that he was only offered Shadow of Mordor code in return for a paid branding deal.

Other than a fairly decent web-based shooter (with no shooting), Godzilla hasn't been in a video game for an awfully long time. That is about to change, with a PS3 title coming out in Japan later this year, and likely worldwide. This week the publisher, Bandai Namco, released some gameplay footage to show exactly what we can expect from the title.

There's never been any question that the Wii U version of Ubisoft's new IP Watch Dogs was the odd one out, and it seems even Ubisoft aren't especially interested in hiding the fact. A rogue Tweet today confirmed that Watch Dogs Wii U won't be getting any DLC.

One of the most beautiful sights in Football - nay, in life - has to be the march of the players, when every competitor on the field congregates in the centre of the pitch to run around in circles or jog on the spot. Sadly, this wonderful experience has been absent from the FIFA experience until this year, when it appeared in FIFA 15 on the PC.

It was the MMO that none of us were supposed to know exists, but now Blizzard have announced that they've cancelled Titan, their sci-fi massively multiplayer game.

With the Master Chief Collection on the horizon, Microsoft decided to make one of the few games not in the remaster set, Halo: Reach, available for free through Games with Gold. It was announced last month and is now available to download at no extra cost, so long as you're a Gold subscriber.

Kinect was supposed to be a hardcore experience, something Microsoft kept repeating while it was unveiled Milo and Kinectimals. Sure, they were trying to attract a small slice of the Wii crowd, but they wanted everybody to invest in one of the devices as well. Unfortunately, it never quite worked out the way they'd hoped, and any possible 'proper' titles got cancelled. One of those games was Gears of War: Tactics, and footage has leaked showing exactly ...

Portable Ops has always been the black sheep of the Metal Gear Solid world. It never got the official spin-off status like Ac!D and Ghost Babel, but it was never officially included in any timelines either. This was partly because Hideo Kojima was never included, but considering it includes a chunk of time between Metal Gear Solid 3 and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. Whatever the reason, this has now changed, with Konami recognising Portable Ops as an official ...

We might look back on a multi-plat Minecraft with a touch of nostalgia, as details of Microsoft's apparent plans to buy developer Mojang. Even though the brick-'em-up only just made it to PlayStation 4 last week, the Xbox One developer looks set to purchase the developer for something in the region of $2 billion.

19 years ago today, Sony released their PlayStation console to American audiences. If you remember walking away from the store with your brand new console, Rayman or Battle Arena Toshinden in hand, you're allowed to feel a terrifying mix of nostalgia and ancientness. Since then, there have been nearly 8000 releases for the console worldwide, with some classics getting re-released on their original format well into this century.
