The amount of punctuation in its name may be horrifying enough, but VR game Wraith: The Oblivion – Afterlife is planned as a proper horror game on its own merit. It’s based on the tabletop RPG Wraith: The Oblivion which shares the World Of Darkness universe with similarly punctuated Vampire: The Masquerade. Seriously, all these colons

Dead Space writer Antony Johnston took to Twitter to alert people that he’s been working on a big game for around two years – and that in “totally unrelated news” people should check out the PS5 event happening this Thursday.  As some of you know, I’ve been working on a big videogame for almost 2

It’s been a tough ol’ time for Crucible.

Electronic Arts has sent out statements outlining some of the changes it is making to combat racist and other offensive speech in its EA Sports games, and the NHL series in particular.

Electronic Arts are making room for “important voices being heard,” I assume in the Black Lives Matter movement though they don’t name it, by delaying their EA Play Live event by a week. Other online events have done the same this week, leaving space for the public to protest police brutality and other injustices faced

Well, this is a weird one. A while ago, game historian Phil Salvador wrote an in-depth history about Maxis Business Simulations, a Maxis offshoot designed to apply gameplay concepts to real-world applications. One of the story’s focal points is a game prototype developed in collaboration with Chevron in 1992 called SimRefinery. It was never completed, and was presumed

Skelattack is out now, with a new launch trailer to show

Coming this month on June 19, Path of Exile’s latest expansion is all about growth. Literally! Players can build up gardens that grow monsters, and then harvest them for all kinds of powerful loot.

You will no doubt be aware that protests, marked by a violent police response, are ongoing in America.

If anything was going to throw a wrench into Factorio‘s meticulously manufactured mechanisms, you’d never think it was a punk’d up cyborg in a leather jacket.

This week, the developers announced

I’ve played my fair share of MMOs over the years. Despite the excitement that used to come with an online world stuffed full of unknown people, I’ve started to feel some put too much “massive” in the MO.
