After the massive controversy surrounding loot boxes in Star Wars Battlefront II last fall, their inclusion has become a huge point of contention for many. That being said, when speaking with GamesInudstry.biz at Gamelab Barcelona, EA Sports Vice President Daryl Holt stated that “Our model is sustainable.” when discussing the implementation of loot boxes in EA
Having played a slew of racing games throughout the years, I can always tell whether I’ll enjoy it within minutes of playing it. It is what makes the racing genre unique. Gameplay is so intrinsic to the overall experience; if the driving doesn’t feel right, more likely than not, you’ll want to stop playing. This
Today Cloud Imperium Games released a brand new video focusing on Star Citizen‘s single-player campaign Squadron 42. The video is relatively brief, but showcases what the teams behind the game are doing to improve the technology being quite a few aspects of the game, including animations, destruction, some really spectacular junk clutter (yes, I know, it’s

Today Blizzard announced Overwatch‘s new hero Hamtaro… Ahem, I meant Wrecking Ball. Following the announcement of the 28th hero of the game, the developer released two videos. The first is the now traditional cinematic origin story that shows what made the hamster Hammond into the Wrecking Ball he is today and the second is the
For my money, Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag and last year’s soft-relaunch Assassin’s Creed: Origins are the two best games in the now over a decade-long history of the AC franchise. Yes, there are plenty of other worthy contenders but these two, in particular, have always struck my fancy more than any of the others. So imagine my delight when I sat down
Last week, Blizzard began teasing some new content for Overwatch on their Twitter account, but at the time, we had no idea what it was, with many people speculating that it was a new map. As it turns out, those people were wrong, and Blizzard has officially announced what it was teasing, and it’s an adorable brand
I’ll be completely honest: I’ve never been a gigantic fan of pirates games. I’ve always felt like the gameplay in them looked boring. I’m not sure why, but they just never appealed to me. On top of that, when a pirate game does peak my interest (like in the case with Sea of Thieves), there’s always something
All the way back in 2015, HumaNature Studios successfully crowdfunded ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove, a successor to the classic Sega Genesis series, and picked up Adult Swim Games as a publisher.

After Playdead’s Limbo came out of almost nowhere and released to critical acclaim on Xbox 360 in 2010, it made waves in the indie scene. In the eight years since its initial release, countless puzzle platformers that have something to owe to Limbo have been released by tons of independent developers. This soon became one
Today Spike Chunsoft released a cinematic trailer of its upcoming JRPG Zanki Zero: Last Beginning, mixing gameplay to live action in a rather original way. The trailer narrates how the world of humans that God made in seven days was destroyed in only one day. We also get to see one of the main themes
Some combinations are undeniably perfect. Spaghetti and meatballs, peanut butter and jelly, cats and role-playing games. If you’re a fan of the latter you’re in luck, as Gentlebros Games announced that they’re developing Cat Quest II. Announced through a teaser trailer from Gentlebros Games’ official YouTube channel, Cat Quest II looks to scratch the same
A few days ago it was revealed that Fortnite would be receiving the previously teased mode Playground today, much to the excitement of fans. It seems, however, that things have gone off to a rough start, as Epic Games has officially removed the limited-time mode from the battle royale shooter. According to the developer’s official Twitter account, the
As the two top-reigning competitors in the currently hot market of Battle Royale games, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds developer PUBG Corps brought things to a heat against Fortnite developer Epic Games by putting forth a lawsuit against the company for copyright infringement earlier this year, though the conclusion of that case seems to have fizzled out. According to a
Since 2014, Stoic Studio’s The Banner Saga series has been telling a tense story wrapped in the mystery and lore of a Norse-mythology inspired world and setting, and now with the series about to wrap up next month in The Banner Saga 3, now is as good a time as any to catch up on

Today, developer and publisher Daybreak Game Company released a brand new update for the PC version of the game, and, among other things, it adds a remastered version of a fan favorite
For years, Remedy Entertainment has focused on narrative first and gameplay second. From the long monologues of Max Payne to the inner-workings of a writer in Alan Wake, and the episodic television experiment found in Quantum Break, it has been easy to see this emphasis on storytelling in almost every one of the studio’s titles. This focus on story over gameplay isn’t necessarily
Since the debut of their first game in 2014, Stoic Studio — a team comprised of former developers from BioWare — have been telling a Norse-mythology inspired story in the form of The Banner Saga series. The strategy-RPG series debuted after a wildly successful Kickstarter campaign (followed two years after by its sequel, The Banner Saga 2),
All the way back in 2015, I was surprised to see Lab Zero Games move on from an immensely enjoyable fighting game like Skullgirls to Indivisible, a Valkyrie Profile-inspired Metroidvania-RPG hybrid. I tried and had a lot of fun with the Prototype Demo back when Indivisible was crowdfunded on Indiegogo and was curious to see
Three very solid titles were added to the Xbox Game Pass lineup during E3 2018: The Division, Fallout 4, and The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited.

Today, the developer announced that The Lion’s Song is coming to Nintendo Switch on July 10. For those of you who aren’t aware, The Lion’s Song takes place in the early 1900’s, and is
If you read my review of NBA 2K18 last year, you probably saw that I had strong feelings about the way the game had further catered its progression systems to lean on the use of microtransactions. Virtual currency, or VC for short, has been a digital currency used in the NBA 2K games for a while now, but 2K18 began locking
One of the most iconic element of BioWare’s upcoming game Anthem is the Javelin suits that our characters are going to wear. In order to be able to show off the suits at EA Play just before E3, Electronic Arts and BioWare had the suits constructed by Toronto-based Henchmen Studios, and they certainly did an amazing
Creating art has always had its fair share of risks. It’s often time-consuming, thankless, and sometimes, a financial black hole. However, when it comes to game design, developers are subject to a risk that many other artists don’t have to worry about– clones. Sure, off-brand cereals and knock-off movies that exist only to cash in
Since the series debuted in 2014, Stoic Studio’s The Banner Saga series has presented players with making tough decisions under tougher circumstances.
