The Sniper Elite series has found a comfortable 7/10 groove, ploughing the territory halfway between Hitman and Call Of Duty and planting seeds by letting you shoot the bollocks off a Nazi. The next in the series was officially revealed during this week’s Game Awards, and you can find the first trailer below.

Tchia was one of the best looking game’s at last year’s Game Awards, and looked even better at this year’s PlayStation Showcase.

It is important to keep in mind what is going on within Activision Blizzard at this time regarding ongoing allegations about the work culture.

The next patch for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is a big one: 78GB big. Ubisoft today announced that next week’s patch “will “will require players to re-download the entire game as part of a data restructuring.” The whole base game, downloaded all over again.

I’ve seen Titan Quest described as the best Diablo 2-like available, and I’ve seen it praised for its colourful environments when its competitors (including Diablo 2) are either grey or brown.

Halo Infinite reviewA rickety storyline can’t stop this from grappling back lapsed fans with its open world and nostalgic gunfights. Driving around with three snipers in the back of your jeep is overkill. But the shiny soldier boy of the Halo games has never cared less. This is the prime indulgence of Halo Infinite, the

Fortnite changes faster and more dynamically than any other ongoing game. Yesterday’s epic finale to the two-year-long Chapter 2 event was again met with a radical shakeup to Fortnite’s core gameplay formula. For the start of Chapter 3 – which begins today – developer Epic Games introduces a new gameplay movement through a character who

A side effect of fatherhood is that I now see everything through my five-year-old’s eyes. Hot Wheels Unleashed is, to me, most likely a middling racing game and lesser Trackmania – but then, if I think about it, I know my kid would love it. Hot Wheels Unleashed’s Batman expansion, featuring a handful of cars

Battlefield 2042 had quite the rocky start when it launched just a few weeks ago, mainly regarding bugs that plagued the experience for many players. Recent updates, such as Update 3, which was revealed yesterday, indicate that EA is committed to improving the 2042 experience. Now, new shake-ups at the company provide further evidence that

Every year, streamers Yogscast host Jingle Jam, a charity livestream.

Battlefield 2042 launched just a few weeks ago, and if the conversation surrounding it can be summarized by one word, that word is “bugs.”  Game Informer’s own reviewer said 2042 is “an otherwise solid online shooter bogged down by an abundance of bugs,” and that’s a sentiment echoed across the entire battlefield discourse. To EA and DICE’s

Halo Infinite surprise-launched its multiplayer a couple of weeks ago. People seem to like it a lot, grindy and unrewarding battle pass aside.

We all shop online now and Black Friday lasts for at least three months of the year. Well, either that or I’m in

The whole Black Friday phenomenon is very weird if you’re old enough to predate online shopping
