After playing a few hours of Highguard at a hands-on event in Los Angeles last week, I don’t think it’s my next FPS obsession. I do, however, respect the stance its developers at Wildlight Entertainment are taking with their debut game’s business model. Highguard is free-to-play, it has cosmetic-only battle passes that never expire, new…
Combat in Drivers of the Apocalypse, which debuted today at the PC Gaming Show: Most Wanted, looks absolutely ludicrous, with the eponymous mercenaries flying from car to car as they plow through sand dunes and blow the rest of their convoy to smithereens. While vehicular combat has received a surprising amount of affection from developers…
Control has been out for a little while now and we are so grateful for how enthusiastic everyone has been about the game. Such an overwhelmingly positive response from our community, our friends at game development studios worldwide, and our friends and families has exceeded all our expectations. You even liked the duck, and the…
Even as a rejuvenated Battlefield series dominates the shooter limelight, sci-fi extraction shooter Arc Raiders is poised to be a hit. Public playtests have been popular enough to propel it to the third spot on Steam’s most-wishlisted games list, and a playtest back in April was so well-received that many hoped Arc’s developers would drop…

In the ‘90s, the “Ace Combat” series was easily one of the most heralded franchises in gaming. One of Namco’s big three of “Tekken” and “Ridge Racer,” the game sold close to four million copies on the PlayStation and even more when the series moved to the PlayStation 2. However, with little gameplay innovation during…
“I spend all day every day thinking about Pokémon”. The Pokémon franchise has remained immensely popular since its inception in the mid to late ’90s, but according to The Pokémon Company’s COO Takato Utsunomiya, the overall goal is to have it endure for centuries. In an interview with The Guardian, Utsunomiya states that he spends…
The figure is an exclusive at San Diego Comic Con. The California-based toy manufacturer Jada Toys has announced that it will be releasing a new “Deluxe” player two variant of its M. Bison Ultra Street Fighter figure later this month. But, before you go getting too excited, we should probably mention that the new figure…
Mainswitch. Following today’s release of Nintendo’s quarterly financial results covering the nine months from April to December 2023, Shuntaro Furukawa’s comment that the current Switch will remain Nintendo’s “main business” as the company heads into 2024 is a practised little piece of evasion from the company president.
