EA and Bioware have released a brand new teaser trailer for the next Dragon Age game during last night’s The Game Awards, as previously promised. While the trailer still fits firmly in the ’teaser’ category, we can squeeze some information from the short clip, including the confirmation that Solas will be returning as the Dread Wolf, and it’s good to hear a familiar voice narrating the trailer, which we’re pretty sure is dwarven buddy Varric....

New character skins from NieR: Automata and NieR Replicant are now available to buy in PUBG. The Nier crossover will let fans of the free-to-play battle royale play as 2B and 9S from NieR: Automata, as well as Kaine and Nier from NieR Replicant.

Take the heart of what makes open-world role-playing games such as Fallout so addictive and launch it at a strange, alien world, and you’ll have The Outer Worlds – the newest game from developer Obsidian Entertainment. It’s the single-player first-person shooter RPG fans have been dreaming about, with the freedom to do almost anything while exploring a crazy world. Welcome to Monarch The Outer Worlds takes place on Monarch, a mining colony where terraforming failed to take....

The dream of being able to play smartphone-quality games on a TV by using the worst controller since the Nintendo 64 is at an end, as Razer is shutting down the Ouya store, which means that it will be impossible to purchase or redownload games when the service closes down at the end of June. The Ouya was an early crowdfunding success, as it earned over eight million dollars on Kickstarter when it was first announced in 2012....

A simple question from a well read fan wearing a red shirt led to instantaneous notoriety as he stumped a panel of Blizzard’s World of Warcraft designers. Known to the public as The Red Shirt Guy, and more recently as a WoW character named Wildhammer Fact Checker, he single-handedly pinpointed a discrepancy in the new WoW novel The Shattering. In the now famous encounter, The Red Shirt Guy alluded to the fact that Falstad Wildhammer was going to be on the Council of Three Hammers in The Shattering; however, in the World of Warcraft: Cataclysm beta, Kurdrin Wildhammer is on the council, and Falstad has been left completely out of the game....

EA and Maxis have announced they’re delaying the release of their upcoming My Wedding Stories DLC for life sim The Sims 4. The new expansion allows players to create their dream wedding scenario for their Sims. One of the main features of the pack was the inclusion of a brand new Scenario featuring LGBT+ couple Camille and Dominique. It was because of this that EA originally claimed it would be unable to release the pack in Russia....

Do you like fonts? If you like fonts, you must play Swordship. (After Pentiment.) Swordship gets fonts. It loves fonts. And it’s not just the fonts themselves, but what the game does with them. Finish a level and “LINE CLEAR” is laid out on the ocean. Finish sorting your earnings and “SHIPPED” is splashed across the screen. This is a game where the fonts make things beautiful. It’s even a pleasure to die, because “GAME OVER” is arranged so artfully....

Capcom has shared a small Tekken 8 teaser at Evo 2022. This clip shows Kazuya carrying Heihachi up to the edge of a cliff and depositing him off the side, before smiling at the camera. The scene then cuts to a close-up of a new model of Kazuya doing the same smile, before the teaser tells us all to “get ready”. You can see it for yourself at the end of the clip below....

Here’s where you can get your very own Magmis in the world of Temtem. In case you were wondering, Temtem is a brand new MMORPG that puts you in control of tiny little monsters with magic powers who then battle other tiny monsters for your amusement. If this sounds exactly like Pokémon to you, then congratulations! You got it in one. Temtem is a Pokémon clone with a few differences. First, it’s not called Pokémon, although the mechanics, presentation, and plot are almost entirely the same as the original Pokémon games....

The Temtem Weekly Reset is upon us once again, and most players should be very pleased with what’s on offer.

The ’90s were the most magical time in gaming. At least that’s what you’ll hear anything who owned a Nintendo 64 or an original PlayStation say. They’ll then regale you with tales of their epic sleepovers involving four controllers and a copy of GoldenEye 007 or Mario Kart 64. If they’re a Sony fan, they’ll lament why Crash Bandicoot hasn’t gotten a new game despite defining their childhood. That’s the running thought behind most fans of ’90s gaming, really....

Internationally infamous fast-food chain McDonald’s has been doling out weird, quirky plastic toys since the early ‘70s, and they’ve grown to become a major part of the adolescent Golden Arches experience. The first happy meal prizes were relatively rudimentary: not so much ‘toys’ as cheap, vapid hunks of condensed oil, many were simple finger puppets or silly little figurines of the restaurant’s mascots. Ronald and his gang of burger-loving pals soon became acquainted with the idea of product placement, however, and happy meal pack-ins started focusing on external children’s brands....

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War has finally arrived. On PC, you can play the new addition to the franchise on Battle.net. Already, the MP5 has cemented itself as a fan-favorite weapon, with players noticing its power in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone. It appears that Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War has an MP5 that is just as powerful. As soon as you start playing, you can try out the MP5, as it is one of the weapons that is unlocked straight away....

Though I hate to admit it, as a Final Fantasy fan, I never managed to play Crisis Core on its original PSP release as I never owned that particular handheld. I suspect, though, that I’m not alone, which is why it’s such a relief that Square Enix is now bringing the game to practically every current platform available. I recently went hands on with a demo of this lengthily-titled remaster - Crisis Core Final Fantasy 7 Reunion - and I’m excited to dive in properly on its release this December....

Warlords of New York adds something that Division 2 players have been requesting since the game’s release: a pettable dog. And not just a dog. A puppy. The Division 2 has always had dogs in it, but they were strays that ran away as soon as you approached them. You’d think that a lonely dog desperate for survival after the collapse of Western civilization would be eager to pair up with a well-armed human, but no, Division 2’s dogs are skittish beasts that flee at the first sign of people....

This The Flash review contains spoilers. The Flash Season 5 Episode 21 What a tremendously powerful opening for an episode of The Flash, and what a bizarre, letdown of an ending. Seriously, has there ever been an episode, not just for this show, but in the entire Arrowverse, that ended so abruptly? Ralph realizing too late what Thawne’s plan is and shouting for Barry not to use the mirror gun on the dagger would have been dramatic had it not played on screen like someone edited the end of the episode with a hatchet....

The 2010s have drawn to a close. Time to take stock, then, of where geek culture has taken us this decade. There’s been a lot going on. We’ve seen Doctors Who come and go, console wars start up again, Marvel take over cinema, Harry Potter take over the world and Disney take over multiple universes. And lots lots more. To mark the end of a packed decade we’ve gathered together the most significant, game-changing, ground-breaking and sometimes just purely joyful moments in TV, games and film the last ten years had to offer....

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Season Six is here. An array of new content has made its debut with new multiplayer maps, operators, and the highly anticipated final zombies map, Forsaken, present. As always, some new weapons have been added to the battle pass too. One of these weapons is the Grav assault rifle, which you can get your hands on for free at tier 31.
