Sony have announced the games coming to PlayStation Plus in July, and leading the charge is EA's Dead Space 3.

It was always pretty obvious that Bad Company 3 would be a thing. The games were relatively successful and created a following that is still waiting for the chance to revisit those characters and that multiplayer. They'll probably be waiting for a little while longer, because DICE doesn't know what made those games so special.

It's not easy, being a delivery boy in the future. While today the worst you might come across is aggressive dogs or mustachioed old ladies frightened to open the door in case you're a little bit "ethnic," in the future you'll actually have people trying to kill you. Which is fine, because at least then you know where you stand. In Space Run your goal is to reach your destination as quickly and as safely as possible. Only one thing is certain: it ain't gonna be ...

Super Smash Brothers is one of the biggest games of the year, and Nintendo knew that a lot of people wanted to play it. For that reason, they decided not to limit the brand new demo just to E3 attendees, but struck a deal with Best Buy so that people could play their latest brawler across the United States and beyond. The good news? Tens of thousands of people took up the chance to check it out. It was so successful that they'll be considering doing the same ...

Joe Ryan returns to the host's chair for the second season of the GRCast. In our return episode, we look at the highlights of E3, whether it was any better than previous years and whether Nintendo's decision to just release their video to the web is the beginning of the end for the biggest week in the gaming calender.

While it's clear that there are similarities between Battefield 4 and Battlefield: Hardline, it's fair to say that it appears that it's going to be more than just a small expansion. New maps, new modes and a brand new campaign is more than enough to justify the new cost, but some people - especially those already wary of yearly sequels - are less willing to give EA the benefit of the doubt, especially after the issues they had with the last game (released less ...

For anybody involved in the Rock Band community, John Drake will be instantly recognizable. As a key member in the Harmonix team, he was a regular target of people who disappointed once again by the distinct lack of classic rock (or punk, or metal, or hair metal, or...). This weekend he announced he'd be leaving the music game developer, but not without promising that Harmonix have some great things to come.

There's been a lot of talk about the "new" Link in the Legend of Zelda Wii U trailer shown at the Nintendo E3 Digital event earlier this week. The character has always looked feminine, but this time around it was enough to seriously question his gender, and people did. This wasn't helped when Eiji Aonuma was asked why Link looked so different: “No one explicitly said that that was Link.”

Subtly isn't Bayonetta's strong point, although one of the main announcements of Nintendo's E3 presentation involved her and has largely gone unnoticed in the conversations about The Legend of Zelda Wii U and Yoshi's Wooly World. When you buy Bayonetta 2 on Wii U, the first game (originally published by SEGA) will be included at no extra cost.

Square Enix Europe have just announced that they're bringing Final Fantasy Type-0 to Europe and, presumably, worldwide. It's not quite how you think though. It'll be coming in the form of a HD remaster for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
