That fine pink mist you see up there is a no-doubt furious player on the wrong end of Black Ops 3 (opens in new tab)’s new grenade launcher. No second chances, just POP, and bits everywhere. I suspect, like most of the Specialist moves here, it’s likely to provoke incendiary …

One of Xbox’s most iconic series also got its most iconic trailer – it had to return, really. And return it does, although in a new shape. While Gears of War: Ultimate Edition’s ‘Mad World’ opens with the same plaintive puddle-pondering of the original, this version quickly swaps the CGI …

This isn’t a traditional Halo (opens in new tab) game. The series has moved on for a new generation of consoles, and you need to move with it. Accept that, and there’s loads to love in the game’s new story mode, which is entirely playable in co-op. Oh, and it’s …

If there’s one thing Gearbox does better than anyone else, it’s building RPG-shooters that look like they’ve jumped straight out of a comic book.

I’m an, uh, unabashed lover of all things Jeff Goldblum. I adore his turns as a brilliant mathematician with a strange laugh (opens in new tab), an expert on artisan knots (opens in new tab), the confident spokesman for Waitmate (opens in new tab), a neurosurgeon named New Jersey (opens …

Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 (opens in new tab) has a remake of Der Riese, the final map from Call of Duty: World at War’s original Zombies campaign – but you can only play it if you buy one of the special editions. Activision and Treyarch announced that The …

The first Battlefront was a revelation. Instead of creating yet another Force-obsessed Jedi romp, developer Pandemic focused on the expendable grunts and foot soldiers stationed on the frontlines of the Star Wars universe. You could steal a Jedi Interceptor and battle it out in the skies, or jump into the …

There was a trailer at E3 that had me scrambling for the sickbag. A trailer so sick and subversive that it made my stomach churn a little bit. Nope, not Doom; I’m talking about the campaign reveal of Halo 5: Guardians. Coming in to E3, there were already concerns amongst …
