Few can deny just how exciting this past decade has been for the gaming medium. Technology has advanced to an almost ridiculous degree. It seems almost insane that Nintendo’s juggernaut franchises were 8-bit legends in their own right on the NES just three decades ago. This is an industry that can change considerably in the span of a few years. It goes without saying, but technological improvements naturally lead to more polished video games on the market....

For those of us who enjoyed the PlayStation Portable sandbox games, there is a definite theme emerging – freedom. The freedom to take your gaming with you anywhere in the real world and the freedom to do things your way in the virtual world. © DMstudio House/Shutterstock.com We’ve compiled a list of those sandbox games that stand out based on several metrics. To prevent too much subjectivity, we’ve used units sold, a combination of Metacritic Metascore and user scores, and a cross-section of user reviews....

Despite the array of new Call of Duty: Vanguard content, the majority of players will be familiar with the gunsmith.

Making a solid Sten class will give you a submachine gun that you can rely on in Call of Duty: Vanguard, even more so with the best attachments....

The RAM -7 assault rifle has been a part of Call of Duty: Warzone for a while. Now, more players are using a RAM-7 class in Warzone, likely due to realizing its power. Although it is an assault rifle, it is able to take on close-range gunfights at the same time. Therefore, you can adopt an aggressive way of playing if you wish. The base weapon already has a high amount of accuracy and it is able to deal a high amount of damage....

It’s Friday! Or is it? Time is a social construct, so I could tell you it’s Wednesday today, and how could you prove me wrong? It’s Friday because it’s the fifth day this week, but when did this week start? Can’t prove that either, I’m afraid. Well, the calendar in the bottom right corner of the monitor says it’s Friday. Who told the computer that it’s Friday? Anyone could change that display in the settings....

Over 13 years ago, the birth of YouTube had introduced the internet to an assortment of low-quality, homemade videos. Nowadays, the site is among the most wide-reaching and successful social media platforms on the internet, housing anywhere from breaking news stories to DIY crafting. The gaming atmosphere didn’t penetrate YouTube’s inner circle until the introduction of Blame Truth. All he did was upload videos of himself playing Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and added his voice over the footage, giving general direction on how best to play the game....

Microsoft announced that Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 will roll out on March 15, 2019. The upcoming action-RPG will take place in Washington D.C., with the US pretty much on the brink of collapse. The Division 2 is set six months after the initial outbreak, and sees players battling in the midst of a civil war. Apparently, the unit will be fighting off enemies from within.

It’s a little hard to accept that it’s already well into November of 2020. Epic seems to be dealing with the struggle. Or whoever it is that’s coming up with all of these free game giveaways. They are apparently stuck on the idea that it can be Halloween forever, as we’re still getting spooky-themed titles despite our trick-or-treat obsessions having died with the inevitable sugar crashes. Well, here’s to (at least) one last free game on the Epic Games Store in 2020 that deals with the supernatural....

Sega and MegaPixel Studio are bringing The House of the Dead: Remake to PC next week. That’s practically a new record for the duo, as the developer’s last remake, Panzer Dragoon, sat perched on the Nintendo Switch for months before coming over. The House of the Dead: Remake came out only two weeks ago. Now, it heads to PC via Steam, GOG, and Google Stadia on April 28. As you may have realized by the name, The House of the Dead: Remake ironically breathes new life into the 1996 arcade game....

PlayStation and Naughty Dog have revealed a full list of accessibility features for next week’s launch of The Last of Us Part I. For the PlayStation 5 remake, the team has taken their cues from their extensive work on accessibility for The Last of Us Part II back in 2020.

Developer Bloober Team has revealed some of the additional unique features coming to the PlayStation 5 version of survival horror The Medium. A big portion of these new additions will take advantage of the unique features of the console’s DualSense controller.

The game, which comes from the Blair Witch and Layers of Fear developers, will explore a dual world inspired by Polish surrealist artist ZdzisÅ‚aw BeksiÅ„ski, whose work the team closely studied to bring the game’s “nightmareish atmosphere” to life. It also features music from famed Silent Hill composer Akira Yamaoka working with Bloober’s own composer Arkadiusz Reikowski to help immerse your ears as much as your eyes....

TheWrap is reporting that Warner Bros.’ planned movie adaptation of Minecraft has been pushed back following the departure of director and co-writer, Rob McElhenney. The delay means the film won’t hit its intended May 2019 release window, with Warner Bros. now eyeing up Aaron and Adam Nee to pen a new script. Vertigo Entertainment’s Roy Lee is set to produce the movie alongside Jill Messick. Not much is known about the Minecraft film right now, although we imagine it’ll definitely adopt the blocky, retro aesthetic the games are known for....

It’s the time of year when we all pull the decorations down from the loft and pretend to be masters at dressing a Christmas Tree.

The special 20th Anniversary tree features a host of characters from the world of PlayStation; can you spot them all? It’s officially Christmas at London Studio and @PlayStationEU!...

This The Purge review contains spoilers. The Purge Episode 1 One of the smartest things any marketing department can do is get a movie property associated with a holiday. Half the reason I saw Independence Day on release weekend is because it was THE July 4th film of that year. The Saw movies are memorable for two things, Billy the puppet and the slogan, “If it’s Halloween, it must be Saw....

A long time ago I was a writer for a games magazine called Edge. I left because I wanted to make games but I kept writing, for myself and for talks that I still irregularly deliver at events. This is one of those, a short (true) story that I never quite figured out a purpose for and I’m pleased it’s finally found a home. If you want an audio version there is one on my never-updated website....
