According to an email from Microsoft, the Zune Marketplace will no longer be available on the Xbox 360 on November 22nd. This was a long time coming, but inevitable, especially with the Xbox One on the way, and Microsoft’s new direction for multimedia entertainment on their consoles. Here’s more from the email:  We recently notified you that with the Fall 2013 release of the Xbox 360 update, Microsoft Points are being retired. This email is a confirmation that as part…

Remember Myst, the PC game developed by Cyan? It was one of the first games that put CD-ROM gaming on the map. It became a household name when it launched in 1993, and spawned numerous sequels. It was an incredibly difficult adventure game that many feel is still one of the best in the genre, and a game that some developers cite as being a critical influence to their work. It's probably for these reasons that Cyan's new title called Obduction successfully met its 1.1 million dollar Kickstarter goal. In fact, it made 1.3 million.

Bioshock Infinite was one of the best received games of the last year, and it's no surprise that the DLC has caused something of a splash. Placing both Booker and Elizabeth in an alternate timeline in Rapture, the city beneath the sea from Bioshock and Bioshock 2, Burial At Sea is another slice of story that'll leave you open-mouthed, mostly for all the right reasons.

This generation is rapidly coming to a close, and unless you've got 26 hours to a day and eight days a week, it's unlikely you've been able to see everything on offer. The Batman Arkham franchise are three of the standout moments from the last eight years, and if you've yet to try them out, Warner Brothers have today announced that they have you covered.

Like most PC gamers, I love Steam. Sure, its awesome sales have put a dent in my wallet and given me a library of games I’ll probably never finish, but it’s a brilliant service nonetheless. I’ve always had one major problem with it, though – downloads pause while playing. Countless times I’ve wanted play something while I download a couple of titles in order to scratch them off my backlog, but no such luck. Thankfully, the most recent Steam update…

It's a double-barrelled nightmare, but the first next-gen Middle-Earth game from Warner-Brothers (maybe not that last one) was today announced for Playstation 4, Xbox One, PC, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.

The popular digital indie game service Humble Bundle has launched an online storefront dubbed The Humble Store. The new service offers daily discounts on video games for Windows PC, Mac, Linux, Android and iOS. Continuing Humble’s tradition of being charitable, 10 percent of all proceeds are given to foundations such as The American Red Cross, World Land Trust, Child’s Play and Electronic Frontier Foundation.  At the time of this writing, The Humble Store has dropped the prices on some of…

There have been plenty of announcements at this year's BlizzCon, including the reveal that the Playstation 4 Diablo III release will include the Reaper of Souls expansion. Reaper of Souls will be packed with new features, including more randomization. Game director Josh Mosqueira understands that the original Diablo III campaign didn't sit right with many, primarily since none of the areas truly felt different when revisiting them. The older Diablo releases had a lot of randomized design, and Mosqueira and the rest of the developers aim to fix that with the ...

If you're a core gamer of yesteryear, you can stop reading here. You will hate Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures. Whatever you felt Pac-Man was about - how you felt he spoke, where he lived, what his reasoning behind traversing those mazes was - The Ghostly Adventures will throw that all back in your face. It'll take decades of quiet appreciation and turn every facet of that appreciation on its head.
