The 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,…

It’s the Perfect Time to Revisit New Vegas
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…

The Walking Dead – Ten Years On
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’s Activision Reaction is Eye Opening
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…

Multiversus – Open Beta Reaction
If there was any company that could do a Super Smash Bros clone, it would be Warner Brothers. They have the variety and the history to pull it off. So the oddly named Multiversus should be a Space Jam-style slam dunk right? Like all free-to-play games, it’s not an easy question to answer. The game could be the best thing ever and if the monetization is wrong, then you’ll walk away from the experience feeling bitter. Unfortunately here, there are…

Overwatch 2 – First Impressions
It’s easy to write up my first impressions of Overwatch 2. They’re pretty much exactly the same as my last impressions of Overwatch 1. I know that’s not the most original take on the internet, but unfortunately it is an inescapable one. I loaded up the game, picked a couple of familiar characters, played for a little bit and it could’ve been an update for the old game. And don’t get me wrong: it would’ve been a hell of an…

Red Dead Redemption 2 Fans Have Been Let Down
Red Dead Redemption 2 was a modern day classic. It is one of the best games of the last generation, and one of the best selling too. It sold more than twice the copies of God of War. So why the hell has its post-game support been so lousy? The final nail in the coffin came this week when Rockstar revealed it has pulled devs from Red Dead Online to work on Grand Theft Auto 6. There will be no…
