The reality is that if this is successful, it could have wide-ranging implications across the industry. But that if is doing a lot…

First Activision/Microsoft Approval Gained
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…
Read MoreIt’s Time for a New Bioshock Trailer
It was 15 years ago that we first visited Rapture in Bioshock. That’s right – check for grey hairs. Since then we’ve visited Rapture three more times – and also discovered a city in the sky. But it’s been nearly 10 years since Infinite hit Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. And while we know there’s a new Bioshock game coming, we don’t really know anything about it. Well, what better time to turn that around than on an anniversary? And…
Read MorePlayStation on PC is a Win for All
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…

Two Point Campus (from the creators of Two Point Hospital) puts you in the shoes of running your very own college campuses. You get to make every decisioning from what classes you will offer, food options, entertainment for the staff and students and so much more in the simulation game masterpiece.

Read MoreThe Subscription Wars Are Heating Up
The console wars up to this point have just been a rehearsal. If you thought the endless lists of the 360/PS3 era were brutal, you’re going to need to sit down for the upcoming subscription wars. And this isn’t just losers on Twitter – things are heating up between Microsoft and Sony too. You may recall a few weeks ago I wrote about Sony’s concerns about Game Pass, published in a document related to the Activision purchase. Microsoft have responded,…
