Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time… In the months running up to the release of Ori And The Will Of The Wisps last year, I was gripped by an irrational fear. I’d loved Moon Studio’s first Ori adventure, Ori And The Blind

Videogame movies have tried ignoring their source material, and they’ve tried legitimising their source material via being as dour as possible, but it’s rare that they’ve just embraced the inherent absurdity of videogames. Enter: the Dynasty Warriors movie, which looks joyfully like the Dynasty Warriors games.

Following the failure of Amazon’s Crucible and ahead of the launch of New World, it is confirmed that the company’s Lord of the Rings MMO has officially been canceled.

When The Elder Scrolls Online first released, the MMORPG was met with a very lukewarm reception.
