Activision has announced the full suite of new additions coming to Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 in its Season One update, which looks to be bringing a vast spread of new toys across all three game modes on the 4th December.

Microsoft made a bold move at the start of the current console generation, offering two consoles with very different price points. The Xbox Series X offered top-tier performance that made it the industry leader, but at a premium price of £449. A second offering, though, the Xbox Series S, focused on people who didn't need a console that was able to deliver impressive 4K visuals, and this released at a... Read more ›

An upcoming Pokémon game may have a darker story than you'd expect given its cheerful look and typical Nintendo vibrancy. With links to the original Pokémon game trilogy and hints at older lore, what appears to be a quirky spin on the franchise might actually have a sadder side if fan theories are spot on.

Charlie Cox won himself a Game Awards nomination for his work voicing Gustave in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. However, while the actor is understandably delighted to see his work recognised, he says as much of the credit needs to go to Gustave's motion performance actor, Maxence Cazorla.

When Konrad Tomaskiewicz, the former director of The Witcher 3 and now the director of The Blood of Dawnwalker, tells me his new role-playing game has no main quest, I have to ask him to repeat himself because that's an unusual thing for someone making an RPG to say. Read more Read more ›

Time can be cruel. I'm not talking about the ravages of age when I say that - although, christ, the closer I creep to forty the creakier I become - but I'm thinking, I suppose, about legacy. The very nature of history, especially when it's oral in its delivery, is that it becomes truncated. Short-form takes over. For instance - think of a Prime Minister or President (back when we...

The Xbox business today is pretty unrecognizable from that of 20 years past, which on this week all that time ago was launching the Xbox 360. There's all the changes to the business, a different suite of executives at the top, and an entirely different first-party portfolio, of course - but when I think of the changes, one absence comes to the forefront of my mind: Japan.

Chances are you didn't (though I eagerly await the one person in the comments who stands to correct me), because Microsoft's mini marketplace only gained widespread popularity once it relaunched alongside the release of the Xbox 360. As someone who bought a 360 close to launch, when there weren't a... Read more ›

When I look back on most consoles, I'm largely looking back at the games. The PS3 is LittleBigPlanet and Metal Gear 4, as far as I'm concerned, and even the GameCube, that squat, characterful delight, is largely hidden behind Mario Sunshine, Wind-Waker and Animal Crossing. (Even just typing that: cor, what a time that was.) Read more Read more ›
