World of Warcraft‘s changing in a big way—announced a while back, Blizzard’s decided that you shouldn’t have to download a huge list of UI mods (addons) just to play at a competitive level with others, and will kneecap the ones related to combat in this week’s patch.

“Toby Gard really didn’t want to alter Lara”. It’s not unusual for video games to be altered to appeal to audiences in other territories – look at how Kirby’s expression was tweaked for some of his North American adventures, for example.

“Team spirit” takes on a whole new meaning. GTA: San Andreas‘ Hot Coffee controversy might seem like a storm in a teacup today, but back in the mid-2000s, its discovery caused shockwaves in the games industry. The game was retrospectively given an “Adults Only” rating, was banned outright in Australia and earned Rockstar and Take-Two…
Not enough to trouble the top spot, mind you. We are back again with another look at the UK boxed charts, and much like we had hoped last week, Animal Crossing: New Horizons – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition has spiced things up a little. Yes, the latest addition to the ‘Switch 2 Edition’ line-up has…
Yakuza Kiwami 3 is billed as an “extreme” remake of the 2009 original. In addition to a new version of the old PS3 game it’ll come with Dark Ties which, as Wes Fenlon discovered last week, is a “breakneck roguelite dungeon crawl” set during the same time period.
