Though I have clocked up several dozen hours in Ghost Recon Wildlands, 2017’s open-world military shooter, it’s…
Despite a court-mandated kiss-and-make-up between Apple and Epic, it seems like the two aren’t totally ready to reconcile their beef just yet. After its original application to bring Fortnite back to the App Store was ignored for over five days, the follow up submission has been blocked, leaving the iOS version of the battle royale…
In business, you expect any corporate message to put the best possible spin on anything, including any comments about company leaders. Nvidia’s corporate blog has really taken this to heart, though, by giving CEO Jen-Hsun Huang such a glowing description that you’d be forgiven for thinking you were on a fan-fiction site. The post in…
I’ve kinda turned around on Peter Molyneux. The man cannot stop over-hyping and over-promising, and it makes it hard to trust anything he says—especially after the Curiosity and Godus fiascos—but increasingly I feel like he’s just the sort of person who dreams big and can’t contain their excitement, even when it’s only going to lead…

In a brief exchange with a fan on social media asking if he would be voicing the character, the New Zealand…
Animal Crossing: New Horizons has been incredibly popular worldwide, but sales in Japan have been absolutely amazing. Data driven Twitter account Game Data Library has revealed that the immensely cute Nintendo Switch game is the first game in Japan to have topped 6 million sales at retail since the launch of New Super Mario Bros…
Everyone grows up with those characters they just love. For me, Moomins were among that lot, so anything to do with those beloved white creatures has a special place in my heart. When Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley released, I was practically first in line to play, and with the announcement of Moomintroll: Winter’s Warmth, I…
September 17, 2013: the hotly anticipated Grand Theft Auto 5 launches to critical acclaim on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Surely we won’t have to wait long on PC, right? Fast forward a year and a half (and two next-gen console versions) later, and GTA 5 finally got a PC release on April 14, 2015….
