“It’s something to address going forward”. The Game Awards 2023 was a huge success for Geoff Keighley this year, but he has received some feedback about the show’s treatment of winners, asking them to wrap up their speeches before some of them even got underway. Nintendo’s very own Legend of Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma was…
The Finals, the highly-destructible FPS from ex-Battlefield devs, surprise launched at The Game Awards last night. The shooter had just recently ended a very successful open beta that attracted hundreds of thousands of players, but many (myself included) wondered if Embark Studios still planned to get the game out before the end of 2023. Now…
I lit up when I first heard that Psyonix was making a Rocket League racing game. It’s something Rocket League players have been imagining for a long time: We love rocket-powered car soccer, but surely it could also be fun to perform automobile acrobatics in races? Then I heard that Rocket Racing wasn’t going to…
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is starting to look like maybe it might be better than it first appeared, but one big knock against it for me and an awful lot of others out there is its connectivity requirement: You have to be online to play, even if you want to play by yourself….
A number of things from the massive Grand Theft Auto 6 leak last year showed up in Rockstar’s first official trailer this week. We know the setting, the main characters, and the overall vibe of the developer’s next crime epic. But there are plenty of things still rumored to show up in GTA 6 that…
Those guys who are fighting Soulsborne bosses until Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree comes out have no end in sight for their lonesome vigil: There was no trailer for the expansion at this year’s Game Awards. I don’t ever want to sound incensed or entitled to this sort of thing like some kind of…
Our full recap of this year’s Game Awards includes almost 50 trailers. At a minute or longer, it’d take over an hour to watch all of them, so we’ve distilled the night (which did also include awards) into just our favorite seven reveals. These are the 2023 Game Awards reveals we’re most excited about: Light…
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 was supposed to be out by the end of 2023, but in November publisher Focus Home Interactive mashed the brakes hard, pushing it into the second half of 2024. We noted at the time that the vague launch window could mean a full year of extra waiting, but as it…
I didn’t know what to expect from Lego Fortnite when I logged in for the first time. With its cheerful looks, kid-friendly Fortnite Lego characters, and the general trend of survival games being a bit more forgiving with survival systems these days, I figured it would just be a fun little crafting sandbox where you…
Hand me the bug repellent bat-spray, Robin. When it comes to superhero games, Rocksteady Studios served us up a trio of the very best examples of the genre with its superlative Batman: Arkham Trilogy. Whether you prefer the smaller scale and comparative intimacy of Batman: Arkham Asylum, the vast open world of Arkham City or…
