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…
The Forge certainly isn’t lacking when it comes to RPG-inspired sidequests, as the mining sim is chock full of lengthy NPC chores and requests with valuable rewards distracting from the main path.

David Goldfarb, who served as lead designer at DICE for Battlefield 3 and Bad Company 2,…

Even with the hardware-hungry AI industry causing component shortages and sending memory prices soaring, there’s perhaps one thing I wouldn’t have thought to blame on the datacentres: massive font licensing fees for game developers. Let me hit the backspace for a spell. At the end of November, commercial font service Fontworks ended its most affordable…
Funcom has begun revealing details of the Chapter 3 update coming soon to survival MMO Dune: Awakening, and it sounds like a pretty substantial one. Speaking with game director Joel Bylos last week, he told me the update is aimed at giving endgame players more to do, and will include a ‘completely revamped Landsraad system,’…
