It all started in primary school, when the teacher would wheel in an old box of a TV and fumble around for ten minutes trying to get a vaguely educational program onto the screen. These were the moments when my class was perhaps the most engaged, as the DVD player fell asleep and the screensaver…
In spite of a bloodletting that saw the end of BioWare—a lion in winter, sure, but still a studio with a rich legacy—and around 400 employees laid off, EA seemingly still has videogame irons in the fire. Per a report from Variety, the corporation is working on a new Battlefront game, said to be in…
