The stale stench of disappointment lies all around the Alien franchise when it comes to video games. Teased ever so slightly by the fantastic Alien vs. Predator 2 in the early 2000’s, the full potential of an Alien game has all but been squandered by the past few releases. Hope still seemed to be present, […]
I have attended every PAX East since the original in 2010, and this year’s PAX East was by far the worst one. The hype that surrounds it had gotten bigger year over year, and I fail to understand why after consistent years of decreasing importance to publishers, and expo hall growing in shops versus legit […]
With the recent announcement of The Last of Us Remastered coming to Playstation 4, this marks the second high profile game from the previous generation to be ported up, the other being Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition.

It is hard to fathom that 21 years ago the video game industry and the technological world with it sat on the cusp of virtual reality. Yet the truth in that statement is all too real; at CES in 1993 Sega unveiled their VR headset and two years later Nintendo released the fabled Virtual Boy; […]
A mere five months ago, EA introduced its flagship shooter Battlefield 4 to the world amidst a wave of login issues, glitches, and other graphical problems. Many fans abandoned the brand moving over to Call of Duty and now Titanfall, but the game still plodded on gaining millions of players. Well, today we look at […]
Big news out of this year’s Game Developers Conference for developers from the AAA world to the independents, a new business model for acquiring licensing to game engines has emerged.

When Watch Dogs was originally shown at Ubisoft’s E3 press conference in 2012, it was the definition of a showstopper.
