Unfortunately, that popularity predictably invited the sort of problems the two games have suffered for years on their original platforms. Namely: hackers and modded lobbies. Read more Read more ›

Later this year, we're going to see Capcom's incredible and immersive RPG, Dragon's Dogma 2, arrive on the Switch 2, alongside a massive new expansion called Dark Arisen. Given the game was subject to plenty of criticism for how it ran on both console and PC at launch back in 2024, the fact it can run on Nintendo's hardware at all feels like nothing short of a miracle. But it's... Read more ›

The Xbox Player Voice portal was launched back in May, giving users the opportunity to easily share their thoughts on Xbox and wishes for the future. This came after new CEO Asha Sharma promised a "return of Xbox" when taking over. Following the announcement of 3,200 layoffs and four studio departures, some players are understandably worried and frustrated, and that's now having an effect on the Reddit-like platform.

It may have taken me a while to admit it - and I certainly pushed back for a time, but I worry I am getting too old for Call of Duty. Not the series as a whole; I find a lot of entertainment in the ooh-rah campaigns, and I am especially fond of the gameplay and engine evolutions of some of Activision's post-Modern Warfare 2019 efforts. I dabble in Zombies... Read more ›

Kingdom Hearts will be making a big appearance at the upcoming D23 Disney fan event in California next month, though those holding out hope for a lengthy Kingdom Hearts 4 reveal or two should probably not hold their breath. Read more Read more ›

In August 2024, Dragon's Dogma 2 director Hideaki Itsuno left Capcom after "30 years and five months" at the Japanese publisher. The legendary developer, responsible for creating Dragon's Dogma and the Devil May Cry franchise, is practically synonymous with the former. It's a well-known story that he originally conceived of the game around the time he was working on Devil May Cry in the early 2000s, and had to fight... Read more ›

Summer Games Done Quick 2026 is now over, and while it's been a grand time as usual, one of the group's post-event streams - dedicated to celebrating Metal Slug's 30th anniversary - was ended early after many viewers expressed disappointment due to developer-publisher SNK's ties to the Saudi-owned Electronic Gaming Development Company.

There have been rumours about a Dragon's Dogma 2 expansion since earlier this year. The fascinating game was well-received by critics, but as the public got to experience it, the conversation sadly turned away from how unique its hardcore systems were, and instead fixated on its terrible technical performance. Now, as producer Naoto Oyama and director Kenta Kinoshita get ready for the launch of the Dark Arisen DLC in October,... Read more ›

Lego and Nintendo's collaborations have been among the most eye-catching and sought-after in recent years. From little Super Mario builds, to a near-perfect replica of the original Game Boy, to complex Pokémon sets, collectors are clearly lapping up the 'brickified' versions of Nintendo icons. And perhaps the most ambitious one may be around the corner. Read more Read more ›

Did you know that microtransactions make games more fun? That might seem like a dubious statement, but it was one Ubisoft was more than happy to put its name to last year. However, it appears the company might have learned a lesson from the pushback it subsequently endured across the internet: as complaints around the newly released Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced's microtransactions make headlines, it's been noticed Ubisoft's widely...

The promised PlayStation 4 and 5 ports of Call of Duty: Black Ops 1 and 2 have arrived. But unfortunately, these updated releases have left players disappointed at the quality offered for the price. Activision is charging £35 ($40) for each Black Ops re-release, meaning a total of £70 ($80) if you want both. These prices do not include their DLC packs, either, which is unusual given how most game... Read more ›
