Sometimes a series of events is so poor you have to hold your head in your hands. The Starfield delay, and what it means for Xbox, is one of those times. After years of fighting off accusations of having a thin first party line-up, this is what happens. How does it get to the point where the only major game you have officially coming in 2022 is Deathloop, a game that was released last year on PlayStation? Granted, more could…

Another Week, Another PlayStation Sub Snafu
Console wars are for kids. Subscription wars are for the discerning adults, and with a brand new (although not really) PlayStation subscription service on the horizon, things are going to start heating up. Further evidence of this has come to the reaction to Sony CFO Hiroki Totoki’s comments that their investment into AAA games would need to drop if they were to put them onto a subscription service day one. First of all, I’ll get to the actual comment in…
Read MoreLego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Review
The Lego games have been feeling a tad tired as of late. More than once I’ve jumped into a game wishing they would rebuild the franchise from scratch. You know – brick by brick. Enter Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. It certainly looks different enough on the surface, but is it as transformational as long-time fans might have hoped? The simple answer is no. It’s decent fun – especially if you’re a fan of the more involved modern Lego…
Read MoreFIFA: It’s in The Name
EA are dropping the FIFA name after decades of what sounds like a difficult partnership. It’s a chance to show that gameplay and good brand managem… who am I kidding? It’s in The Name. Genuinely. You know what happens in 2023, when EA Sports FC becomes the new name of this year’s biggest football game? The new officially sanctioned game, thrown roughly together by two coders in six weeks, still outsells it. And EA really only have themselves to blame.…

Read MoreRewriting the Past With Remasters
Every publisher wants to re-release remasters of their game and sell a billion more copies. Extra points if it’s to people who’ve already bought it multiple times before. But sometimes there are relics of the past that might not make the trip… I’m talking butt shots, off-colour jokes and dated satire. The latest example of this involves Rockstar and the Grand Theft Auto V remaster. It supposedly removes a character model for “drag queen” from the game, as well as…
Read MoreAdverts in Games: A Slippery Slope
My first reaction to the news that Microsoft were experimenting with in-game adverts for free-to-play titles was a resounding meh. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not thrilled, but come on. They won’t be the first ones, and they won’t be the last. Let’s face it, advertising is pretty sparse within the world of video games.
