The news comes The Hollywood Reporter’s interview with Disney CEO Bob Iger. […]
When the PlayStation Vita launched in 2012, it already had a roller coaster year behind it. The system seemed poised to take on Nintendo’s iron grip on the handheld market, which had been showing cracks with the Nintendo 3DS, by aggressively pricing it identically to its competition and promising an OLED screen and PlayStation 3-caliber […]
Trials Rising’s has a deceptively simple goal: race a motorcycle to the end of the track as fast as you can.

Ubisoft’s latest entry […]

Since 2015’s The Force Awakens, there has been a Star Wars movie every year, with the shortest distance between two movies being a short five months between The Last Jedi and Solo: A Star Wars Story. Even for Star Wars fans, that’s a lot of Star Wars. Disney’s CEO Bob Iger seems to agree. In […]
Jason Blundell likes to tell stories. The director of Call Of Duty’s Zombies mode has a habit of launching into one just as he’s finished a previous one, or even interrupting the one he’s telling to tell another one, with an incredible level of energy that’s downright infectious. “The great thing about Chazz Palminteri,” he […]

2018 has been a very good year for Sony. Earlier this spring, Santa Monica Studio’s stellar God of War released to rave reviews and quickly became the fastest-selling PS4 exclusive, with 3.1 million copies sold in just three days.

Last week, I visited Rockstar’s headquarters in New York City to play the most highly anticipated game of the year. It’s been eight years since Red Dead Redemption was released, and enthusiasm over John Marston’s open-world adventure hasn’t dimmed. Would new protagonist Arthur Morgan be up to snuff? Can Rockstar create a worthy follow-up to […]
Earth Defense Force (or “EDF” as its close friends like to call it) is something of an acquired taste. Yes, its visuals, voice acting, animation, and overall action are at times lacking, but there’s something undeniably charming and fun about the alien bug-blasting series. We got a build of EDF 5 in the office, so […]
