The Mass Effect Legendary Edition is a remaster, not a remake, which means major changes won’t be seen when bringing the trilogy into this generation. That being said, tweaks can be felt throughout all three games, including smoother rides in the Mako, better gun mechanics, and a whole lot more. As we’ve seen in the

Oddworld fans have patiently waited for Abe’s next adventure, Soulstorm, and now we know it’ll be coming this spring after getting delayed out of 2020. While we already knew that the game was coming to PlayStation platforms, what we didn’t know was that it will launch on PC as an Epic Games Store exclusive. The

In among all the oh so many video game movies and TV shows currently in the works is that Borderlands movie which, it turns out, is calling up quite the cast. They’ve gone and cast Jack Black as comedic relief robot Claptrap, alongside Jamie Lee Curtis, Kevin Hart, and Cate Blanchett.

The Epic Games Store Spring Showcase starts today, and there’s already been a big announcement: The entire Kingdom Hearts saga is coming to PC for the very first time.

Axiom Verge 2 was announced for Nintendo Switch back in 2019 with a 2020 release date. No other platforms were announced at the time, but now it seems it’s coming to PC after all – as an Epic Games Store exclusive.

The Last Of Us TV series officially has its Ellie found in Game of Thrones actress Bella Ramsey. Ramsey played Lyanna Mormont in the Game of Thrones series, and is the first of the cast to be revealed for the upcoming Naughty Dog adaptation.  The casting decision was confirmed by The Hollywood Reporter, though no further cast reveals have been shared

My favourite video game weapons have a rhythm, not just a bang-bang-bang beat. The click-clack-kapow of a pump-action shotgun. The choonkpf-wait-pling-wait-boom-plimpf-ploomf-click of a Fighting Lion. Anything with a strange timing or bit of finesse, I’m here for it. So I’m delighted by the new Exotic bow which arrived in Destiny 2 last night with the

Sometimes in games, ideas don’t make the final product and things are left abandoned on the cutting room floor. With Kaidan, he was a FemShep-only romance option in the first Mass Effect, only to later become available to both Shepards in the third game. Mods were able to restore pre-recorded voice lines for a Kaidan

During an earnings call, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick was asked, given the likelihood that many Grand Theft Auto 5 players had never played earlier games in the series, what the company’s view was on possible remasters of older GTA games. Zelnick dodged the question, and so I am bringing it to you: would you want

Epic Games has announced a new Spring Showcase stream, which will coincide with an Epic Games Store sale. While we don’t know if this Spring Showcase will give us the first glimpses at the new projects from well-established developers Epic Games announced publishing deals for last year, the stream could very well be worth tuning

Forza Horizon 4 is busting out of the Microsoft Store and making its way to Steam. Playground Games have announced that their British racing festival will make its way to the new store in March with DLCs sold separately and cross-platform multiplayer.

Most citybuilders cast you as a god-like city planner, laying down road networks and zoning districts upon an unblemished paradise. The Architect: Paris is different in a couple of key ways. For one, it takes place solely in an existing real city – Paris, obviously. For two, it casts you as an architect rather than

Factorio, the conveyor construction sim, is going to get a big expansion – although not for at least a year. This was discussed in a development update post marking the release of 1.1, the last major update for the base game.

During a feature presentation this evening, Square Enix revealed the latest expansion for the sprawling Final Fantasy XIV MMORPG. Endwalker is coming this fall. That’s right. This year! A teaser trailer briefly dipped into a number of story beats involving a warrior of light and the end of the world. Again! While many JRPGs only have room

Super Mario World has a classic soundtrack. Just listening to some of those songs sends waves of nostalgia over me, whether it’s an upbeat track from the early game or a foreboding dungeon theme. I don’t much about music composition or the challenges developers face in getting that music onto a SNES cartridge, but thankfully, some people

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order’s Cal Kestis may only rank 42/57 (so far) in our list of super scientific character rankings, but that doesn’t mean he wouldn’t make a cool action figure. Hasbro clearly agrees since it has unveiled the Gaming Greats Cal Kestis Black Series action figure. If you’re a fan of Fallen Order, or

Looks like your prince is out playing time rewinder again because the Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time remake has been delayed once again. Ubisoft previously pushed the expected release back from January to March of this year. They’ve now announced that the Sands Of Time needs some more time, but haven’t actually said

As the landscape of technology changes to give gamers, creators, critics, and companies more and more ways to interact with each other, the conversion around ”overhyping” continues to evolve. From a studio’s consumer-facing front to the media’s takes on games as they come out, the topic of “too much hype too soon” is an important conversation to have. Moon

Nuts is out. That’s an elegant phrase I enjoy saying out loud, and it also happens to be true. That’s Nuts, the first-person mystery about surveilling squirrels to find out what the bushy-tailed sneaks are up to when you’re not around.

Krogans in the Mass Effect universe have an additional set of secondary organs and yes, that includes testicles. While that bit of knowledge has been around for awhile, what many might not know is that this hardened race of warriors actually has Star Trek to thank for their additional…um, assets. Krogans have secondary organs with an extra

Not only did Embracer Group buy Borderlands devs Gearbox today, they also picked up Aspyr Media. Aspyr are mostly known for making Mac and Linux ports of other folks’ Windows games, with a catalogue including Civilization VI and Borderlands, though they are getting into making their own games too. Sounds like they’ll keep on keeping

When the Switch version of Apex Legends was first announced last summer, Electronic Arts said it would be releasing in the fall of 2020. That didn’t happen, but a recent post seemed to indicate that Respawn’s shooter would be hitting today, February 2, alongside season 8. That also didn’t happen. But even if Switch owners aren’t claiming

Western Digital’s SSDs have always tended to play second fiddle to their Samsung rivals. It was true of their Blue 3D NAND SATA SSD, which lags quite a bit behind Samsung’s consistently excellent 860 Evo, and also it’s true of their previous flagship NVMe drive, the WD Black SN750, which was nearly as quick as

People are excited for Resident Evil Village. Part of that enthusiasm comes from the recent gameplay demo, along with additional details revealed as part of the latest trailer. However, another part of the excitement comes specifically from Lady Dimitrescu, the ghastly, yet compelling woman who has captured fans’ attention with her disturbing mystique and towering height. Capcom

Battleborn, Gearbox’s ill-fated competitive hero shooter/MOBA, finally went offline for good yesterday, January 31. According to publisher 2K Games earlier in the month, Battleborn is now completely unplayable, which includes its single-player campaign.  This marks the end of a sad and painfully long decline for the game. Battleborn had an intriguing premise, blending first-person shooter gameplay

It used to be fairly easy to split PC games into three categories. There were the good games that everyone had played, the bad games that were rightfully forgotten, and a small pool in the middle of good games that never got their due. This middle category were the games destined to be cult classics.

I’ve been on a puzzle game kick recently – or for the entire past year, really. The calm, methodical solving of pretend problems is exactly what I need while I’m stuck indoors listening to podcasts. The latest is Hexceed, a Minesweeper-ish hexagon clicker that’s free to play on Steam.

Earlier this week, we reported that CD Projekt Red banned a Cyberpunk 2077 mod that allowed players to retexturize in-game assets to virtually have sex with Keanu Reeves’ character, Johnny Silverhand. The reason behind the ban was because the studio felt it was inappropriate to recreate explicit sexual encounters with a real person who did not

Toshihiro Nagoshi, one of the leading creative forces behind the Yakuza series, will soon take on a new role within Sega, the company announced today (via Gamasutra).

The next Call of Duty zombie experience, Firebase Z, arrives on February 4. That’s next week! So if you’ve been exploring the myriad secrets, weapons, and barrels of Juggernog that Die Maschine has been serving up, maybe you’re ready for a new zombie map.
