Read MoreUK E3 Alternative EToo Announced, Sponsored by PlayStation
Making it to E3 is hard enough, even if you live in the US. For those of us in Europe (and further afield) it’s a vague impossibility, a mess of cost and inconvenience that far outweighs the visit’s usefulness. That’s why EToo sounds such a good idea. Sponsored by PlayStation and with over 30 developers present, from June 10th to 13th, the Loading Bar in Soho will be filled with some of the biggest indie games out there, as well…
Read MoreEA Releases Online Passes for Free
EA have ditched online passes, thanks in part to the way that at least the Xbox One handles used titles, but they've gone one step further than that. Starting this week and going on over the next few weeks, EA will be releasing their previous online passes to fans for free.

Read MoreLast of Us Demo unlocks today, First Review is in: “Gaming’s Citizen Kane”

Read MoreRise of the Triad coming soon to digital stores, 1995/2013 cover comparison
The comparison between the covers of Rise of the Triad Dark War and Rise of the Traid 2013 are incredibly similar, but serve as an interesting marker on how gaming has changed over the last twenty years. Whether you're looking at the difference between art styles - that the '95 one was a replacement for actual in-game graphics - or if it's as simple as the zip on Thi's top being in a sightly higher position on the 2013 version of the cover. Either way, the reboot of the shareware classic is well on its way.
Read MoreFirst Next-Gen Sonic gets debut trailer
Sonic the Hedgehog is returning on Wii U and 3DS this year. Sonic Lost Worlds was unveiled at the last Nintendo Direct, although nothing about the game was revealed.
