We’re another step closer to Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision after Saudi Arabia regulators pushed the deal through. And while that might seem like a small step in the grand scheme of things, it is the first of a raft of approvals that are likely to arrive in the coming weeks. Microsoft announced back in January that it would be buying the Call of Duty publisher. Internally, Activision staff were told it could take until this financial year to polish off…

Beacon Pines is an adventure game thats coming Game Pass on day one and also Switch and PC. It’ll be out very soon. Check out the release date trailer below! Beacon Pines is an adventure game that looks like it takes place in a cute/creepy Winnie the Pooh world. It’ll be coming to PC and consoles on September 22, 2022. The different areas you visit in the game are in diorama-like sections, with cel-shaded cartoon graphics. You talk to different…

Reviews for The Last of Us Part 1 will release on August 31. Just how well is it going to fare? The original game sits with a 95 percent on Metacritic, with its sequel scoring an almost equally impressive 93 percent. That gives this arguably unnecessary PS5 remake a lot to live up to – and I’m not sure it’s going to make it. That’s not to say it’s going to score badly. Even with all the debate about what…

PlayStation has launched a new website for its games on PC. And while this isn’t a new initiative, it’s fantastic to see another console company getting all-in on PC. Maybe all-in isn’t the right wording. They’re not bringing things out day one, but that’s going to change, and probably in the near future. PC-only gamers aren’t going to rush to PlayStation 5, but they’ll happily hand over their money if you give them a good port. Hell, even if you…

The Rabbids were never one of my favourite franchises. Ubisoft creates such great stuff, but I never felt that the Rabbids was one of them. My tune changed when I played Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, and I'm glad - Rabbids Party of Legends is one grand time, regardless of whether you feel it is a noticeable knockoff of other popular franchises. If you are looking to have a good time with friends, this is the game to play. And it is available via the cloud too!

Since Microsoft’s purchase of Bethesda was confirmed, there’s been one thing on everybody’s lips. The return of Fallout: New Vegas. Yeah, there were some other advantages for Microsoft as well. Starfield, a boost to their WRPG exclusive – that kind of thing. But yeah, the real potential was in some kind of return for Fallout: New Vegas. And apart from a few rumours, there has been no news. No DLC-laden ultimate edition running at 4K on Xbox, no remake, no…

It was ten years ago that the first series of Telltale’s The Walking Dead changed how we think about those kinds of video games. And maybe all video games. Two seasons into the TV series, fans found a new way of looking at the fictional Walker-fied universe – but it didn’t stop there. Thanks to being available on every single device in existence, as well as the episodic format, it quickly spread to a more casual audience. It wasn’t the…

Sony has reacted to the Activision purchase to regulators, and it is an eye opening glimpse behind the curtain. Without all the bluster and PR of companies on the public stage, we see what Sony thinks are the biggest threats of Microsoft buying Activision. To be fair, this isn’t necessarily their true feelings. Call of Duty is a huge title on PlayStation. They want the sale blocked. It makes sense to overegg the despair. But taken at face value, we…

Diablo Immortal passed more than $100,000,000 in revenue in just eight weeks since it launched. That has caused some panic in the community. Rightly so, I guess. When a popular hardcore IP launches on mobile it’s always cause for concern. Remember when EA revived a bunch of beloved franchises like Dungeon Keeper for mobile and completely messed it up? Unfortunately, yes. we remember that. But the issue there is more about chasing what’s immediately popular. It isn’t necessarily about retooling…
