“Cucciolo somehow managed to do something important”. Opened in 1996, SegaWorld London was a massive indoor theme park located within the UK capital’s Trocadero venue, and was packed to the rafters with Sega arcade machines and other rides. Despite the amazing array of games on offer, SegaWorld London was not a commercial success and would…
“It’s really been a bit of a dream come true”. With its varied mechs, persistent online world, and pioneering use of voice communication, 2006’s Chromehounds is the very definition of a hidden gem. It never achieved the same level of fame as its online rivals, and its servers were turned off in 2010, but the…
If you happen to be familiar with my big, long grumbles about Final Fantasy 14—which has entered somewhat of a fugue state due to not making pace with its competitors and a stagnating formula—you’ll know I had some major problems with Dawntrail’s story. At a conceptual level, it was great—but the moment-to-moment yarn spinning, the…
I hadn’t heard of Russian Fishing 4 until PCG’s Wes Fenlon noticed it was weirdly popular on Steam. The game’s been available since 2018, launching on Steam in November 2021, and since then it’s steadily built a considerable audience over time: per SteamDB’s three year charts, it was pulling in around 7,000 concurrent players after…
When World of Warcraft: Midnight launches on March 2, it will bring with it an enormous new feature: player housing. The system is currently in early access, and even now there are new additions underway for the near future, as well as discussions happening about further off ideas. We exclusively interviewed five Blizzard leaders about…
At the Sony State of Play showcase today unwitting viewers were subjected to one of the goriest videogame trailers I’ve ever seen, and I was around to witness the Hatred panic. In the trailer for Ill, a new survival horror game coming in 2027, and published by the company responsible for Atomic Heart, I saw:…
Understated, simplistic, elegant, work friendly; These are all words I’d never normally associate with Razer, a brand better known for loud and proud RGB lit gamer chic. Today is a bit different, as Razer announces a few new products that in an effort of being ultra portable, and ergonomic truly shed any excessive gamer skin….

Back in May, CD Projekt announced “one more patch” for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt that will add cross-platform mod support through mod.io across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. The update was intended to be rolled out later in 2025, but the studio said today that it’s going to take a little longer…
EA doesn’t have the best reputation. Whether it’s being awarded with the title “worst company in America” multiple times, its role in the downfall of previously beloved developers like BioWare, its love of microtransactions, or continually heralding the demise of singleplayer games, it hasn’t earned much goodwill. Hazelight Studios founder Josef Fares, whose team just…
