Electronic Arts’ all-conquering EA Sports FC, the game formerly known as FIFA, can now with certainty be called a successful re-branding exercise. EA Sports FC has become a ubiquitous sight at all levels of matches, with it being near-impossible to watch a Premier League game in particular without having the logo tattooed on your eyes…
Winter is the worst time of year. It’s cold, it’s wet, it’s dark, the roads are terrible, and cooking on the grill is a full-on headache. The only thing that doesn’t suck about winter is the onslaught of big year-ending videogame sales, and the big daddy of them all is now underway: The 2025 Steam…

Arc Raiders has been in the holiday spirit ever since its Cold Snap update, released earlier this week, saw players swimming in previously hard-to-obtain blueprints. Turns out that this was a minor miscalculation on developer Embark’s part, but only a minor one: the developer has now issued a hotfix that sees the blueprint drop rates…
Come on, grab your friends. PowerWash Simulator racked up some pretty impressive crossover DLC in its time, and its sequel looks like it’ll start doing the same next year. FuturLab has today lifted the lid on PowerWash Simulator 2‘s first DLC pack, featuring none other than a handful of locales from the beloved Cartoon Network…
As rivalries go, you don’t get much bigger than Call of Duty versus Battlefield. Two of the largest, most expensive series around, both of them covering wars both past, present and future—of course there’s going to be some competition.
