Bringing a samurai trailer to Tokyo Game Show might be a little “on the nose,” Ubisoft, but I must say that For Honor is still looking really slick. The new video officially introduces The Oni, one of the many fearsome warriors you’ll control and/or clash swords with on the multiplayer …

I kind of liked Project Morpheus, god of dreams and all that. But it’s obviously not a clear message, hence Sony’s shift to the new name: PlayStation VR. Sure, it’s a little less interesting but it’s hard to miss the point – it’s VR, on PlayStation. There’s a quick quote …

Oh my gosh, that’s…! Let’s face it: Destiny’s voice actors don’t have much they can chew into. In the year since its release, Destiny’s expansions – including the megaton additions in The Taken King – have done a lot to flesh out the story, but you won’t find too many …

He’s the screenwriter behind After Earth and even briefly worked on Star Wars spin-off Rogue One, but Gary Whitta didn’t have big blockbusters on the brain when he sat down with Crime Scene magazine (opens in new tab). The writer and producer talked all things Colombo and why he thinks …

Cheapo avatar quizzes, leering sexist trash and broken, broken, broken things. And yet I’m left really very sad that Microsoft has finally formally …

Warning: I’m spoiling everything up in here. You’ve been warned. Can a game be your favorite and least favorite at the exact same time? Because that’s the sort of mental gymnastics I’ve been dealing with since I rolled credits (full credits, mind) for the third time in Metal Gear Solid …

We’re as surprised as you to hear that Katamari Damacy and Noby Noby Boy creator Keita Takahashi has decided to curb the eccentricity of his latest game a little. “I understand that Noby Noby Boy was too much for some people,” he says with a grin, “so I just tried …

Oh, halcyon days. Before Share buttons and in-game social integration matrices, when Twitching was something that you went to A&E for, and 60 frames per second was Bobby Fischer’s sideline in record-breaking snooker.
