There's a huge problem with episode gaming. It takes so damn long. It seems months ago that we were playing The Wolf Among Us, and even longer ago that we returned to Rapture with Burial At Sea. That's mostly because it was months ago, and so the return of Elizabeth via a brand new trailer is something to get very excited about.

An indie developer has spoken out on how beneficial having his game in the Steam Weeklong sale has been. Many developers have been quick in the past to post their surprise at just how much they can make by temporarily reducing the price of their game, but few have gotten excited about the Weeklong sale (which are being torn apart on sites like HotUkDeals).  Joe Wintergreen-Arthur, the director behind InFlux, posted to Twitter today about the success of having ...

Cliffy B was the face of Gears of War for a long time, and though he hasn't been involved with it for a few years, he was still first in line for comment when it was sold.

A Japanese newspaper reckons Nintendo have been thinking up various ways of bringing their IP to mobile devices (or rather, bringing people who use mobile devices to their consoles). Not only has this been going on for the last few months, but they're about to announce exactly what these plans are.

The first megaton announcement of the year has blown the collective socks off of gamers everywhere. Microsoft have today announced that they've acquired the Gears of War IP off Epic. Epic will no longer be involved with the adventures of the COG and there's no chance the franchise will make it to a Sony console.

Square Enix have this morning announced a release date for the PlayStation 4 version of their massively multiplayer RPG Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. Those that were expecting it shortly after launch are likely to be a little disappointed, but in the grand scheme of things it's not too much of a wait.

If there's one thing pirates love, it's trophies. Many a buccaneer has been educed to tears after learning just how many hours they'll need to put into Killzone: Shadow Fall, and there are still tales on the high seas about the one guy that didn't even manage to get down the pole in Ghostbusters. In Assassins Creed IV Black Flag, you'll captain a ship and kill some templars, but how many people are there alongside you?

The PS Vita Slim is already a thing - in Japan. It's 20% slimmer than its original counterpart and has been unavailable in the west. That looks like it's just about to change. IGN have recieved an invite to a press reveal promising the slimmest launch in PlayStation history. Just what on earth could that mean?

Tomb Raider was a great game, but it had very little in common with the massively open-world RPG The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. It's not a problem most of us picked up on, but apparently it's something the developers hope to rectify for Tomb Raider 2.

Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition might seem slightly underwhelming, especially for those that completed it multiple times on PC. It wasn't always going to be that way though. Crystal Dynamics had originally considered adding extra plot to the new-gen edition, but was shot down by a Square Enix exec.
