At one time, there were rumours abound that the upcoming Assassin’s Creed: Mirage would lead directly to (or be packaged with) a full-blown ground-up remake of the original game. It’s easy to see how this idea gained traction – Mirage has been sold to us from the start as something of a back-to-basics reset for […]

Diablo 4 is pretty much an MMO. You run into other players randomly as you roam its open world, some quests are basically ‘kill ten of that thing’, there are dedicated PvP zones etc. But perhaps its most MMO-like quality is that it really wants you to show off your cool gear to other players. […]
Blizzard has announced that Diablo 4, which officially released today, is the studio’s fastest-selling title of all time. The game saw the highest pre-launch unit sales on both consoles and PC.

With the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8GB, Nvidia has a clear audience and a clear goal in mind. We all like to make a big song and dance about the hardest-hitting, heaviest-lifting state-of-the-art graphics cards – but the truth is, the majority of people don’t buy them. Glance over at the Steam Hardware survey and […]
I don’t know which is worse, that we have to use the old Diablo 3 Auction House argument as a way of painting the Diablo 4 business model in a better light, or that our only options are various degrees of terrible. In case it wasn’t already clear, yes, Diablo 4 does indeed share its […]
In 2006, The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion developer Bethesda did what many at the time thought was unthinkable. The company put an in-game item on sale for real-world money, in a full-price game. It was a cosmetic horse armour set for $2.50. Oblivion’s controversial horse armour is largely thought of as the first microtransaction in […]
If you’ve been popping your head around the horror space for the last decade you’ve likely heard something about the System Shock remake. It’s been through a long a bumby ride, through Kickstarter, a total restart of development, and Covid-19 delays. After all these hurdles, Shodan is back and – by all accounts – she’s […]
If you’ve already seen Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, you might have noticed a small gameplay cameo from Insomniac’s Spider-Man 2. It was only a bit over a week ago that we got our first look at gameplay in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, which finally confirmed that Peter will don the symbiote suit, and we’ll also be […]
Just like there’s a world first race to clear MMO raids, Diablo 4 also has a race of its own: to reach level 100, the highest possible character level in the game. Technically, there are two ongoing races, one for the normal/standard mode, and the other for Hardcore. Both modes have the same difficulty, but […]
