10 years is a long time for anything, but for a live service game it’s a milestone that very few are able to cross. Overwatch made it over the line earlier this year, and has since been able to do something of a victory lap because after all the highs and the lows, Overwatch is…
Most may know Chandler Riggs from his role as Carl in The Walking Dead, but now some may know him as the director of the short film fan-adaptation of Resident Evil 7. Lasting but 20 minutes, it’s set in the Baker’s bayou home and takes place during the garage fight scene between the protagonist Ethan…
Three months after the very successful launch of Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, a game that sold two million copies in a single day (three million copies in a week!) and surpassed “annual expectations” in just two weeks, Ubisoft has laid off 70 people from developer Ubisoft Singapore.

Geoffrey Hinton is a computer scientist known for his foundational work in AI, specifically when it comes to neural networks (ie, approaching machine-learning a bit like our fleshy brain-learning). As such, he’s been described as the ‘AI godfather’. But, perhaps surprisingly, he recently described AI as “alien beings” that humans have a “moral obligation” towards….
The Razer Viper V4 Pro is the single best mouse I’ve laid my sweaty fingertips on, and I’ve laid them on a fair few. It’s sleek, light, has tons of battery life, a comfy shape, and is incredibly well-built. So you can probably understand my excitement to hear that there might be a new, lighter,…
This month, descend into the criminal underworld of early 20th-century Sicily in Mafia: The Old Country, brave a deadly frontier filled with awe-inspiring machines in Horizon Forbidden West, or take on hordes of fungal enemies with an outrageous arsenal of futuristic weaponry in the fast-paced co-op action Mycopunk, releasing day one into October’s PlayStation Plus…
New Blood boss Dave Oshry isn’t interested in running a massive studio that follows the blockbuster strategy of milking its successful games for all they’re worth.
