DICE. BioWare. Pandemic. Playfish. PopCap. The list of interactive entertainment studios (or their parent companies) purchased by Electronic Arts over the last decade runs the gamut from established triple-A developers to budding social-media game upstarts. According to a new story published by The New York Times, however, the oft-infamous acquisitioner has, for quite some time, had its eyes set on what would have been its largest grab to date: fellow industry giant Valve....

It won’t be long now until E3 2018 is upon us, and Electronic Arts will be setting the pace with its pre-E3 show. While EA’s main attractions will be BioWare’s Anthem and DICE’s Battlefield V, that doesn’t necessarily mean the game publisher won’t include some unexpected surprises. The company ran a pretty tight ship as far as pre-E3 leaks are concerned, so hopefully the extra effort on behalf of EA’s team to hide any secret announcements has kept the lid on a few unknown projects that will get gamers excited....

We Happy Few’s alpha gameplay confirms that the indie title offers a unique survival experience, but it’s too early to say if the game will connect with mainstream audiences. In a year filled with sequels, remakes, and remasters; We Happy Few’s E3 gameplay demo was a welcome dose of originality. The game maybe looked a bit too much like BioShock for a title not being developed by 2K, but gamers were still intrigued....

It hasn’t exactly been a well-kept secret that this year’s Call of Duty entry has had a troublesome development. Ever since the middle of last year, reports on 2020’s entry in the shooter franchise have cited some serious issues and delays for the game. It eventually lead to Treyarch taking over development of the game, which was originally Sledgehammer Games’ pursuit and year, despite the fact that the Treyarch studio was likely already developing its own Call of Duty game for 2021....

This review of The Orville: New Horizons contains spoilers. The Orville: New Horizons Season 3 Episode 2 The season 3 premiere of The Orville: New Horizons reinforced why this show picked up in popularity in its second season.

This The Simpsons review contains spoilers. The Simpsons Season 34 Episode 7 Duffman is under serious competition in the mascot contest, including a Woketopus who pushes every button on diversity appeal, and Helen Mirren, clueless to she’s endorsing and still a favorite to win. The segment where Duffman tries to shore up support is a mixed bag of obvious reveals, such as dousing the women’s legal diversity initiative meeting, and subtle visual gags, like getting Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s book thrown at him....

Family is not something that goes hand in hand with iconic video game franchises. There are games made for the whole family to enjoy as an “audience,” but the concept of family isn’t typically the focus in games themselves. That is to say there aren’t many video game characters with broad lineages that stretch over multiple sequels in any meaningful way. However, the concept is not entirely foreign to video games either....

Ciri is one of the most important people in Geralt’s life, and the opposite is also true. They have been through a lot in their lives and even when they walk separate paths for a while, they always find their way to each other....

With apologies to Geralt of Rivia’s many fans, you’re going to feel some kind of way about this news: It looks as though CD Projekt Red have all but entirely ruled out The Witcher 4. As the increasingly farcical Bride of Chucky, Seed of Chucky and such have proven, sometimes a trilogy really, really should remain a trilogy. The same line of thinking governed the developer’s decision not to create another sequel, it would appear....

2020 was a year of repetition. For some that was a comfort, a bastion during a time when the hits kept on coming. For me, months of lockdown turned into a struggle to find meaning in the mundane. Working from home in my PJs sounded like the dream at first. But even my introverted soul was eventually worn down by staring at the same screen and taking walks in the same neighborhood....

What better way to remind yourself of your traumatically difficult journey though Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice than with this fantastic new Figma figure? As we all know, gaming isn’t just a hobby. It’s a way of life. We attend midnight releases, we hunger for the next Nintendo Direct, we collect limited edition releases and the assortment of merchandise that comes along with them. Hoarding all of this stuff, from steelbooks to soundtrack CDs and figurines, is all born of our love for the industry....

Every game has characters you’ll hate, because they’re annoying, because they’re useless, because they screw you over, or just because you don’t like them. It takes a lot of work though to become a universally hated character and considered one of the WORST, to turn an entire fanbase against you for all of eternity or even worse having the hatred turn into mockery as a meme is created about one or two lines of text that players couldn’t stand....

Nvidia’s new streaming service, GeForce Now, has been having a bit of trouble lately. Many companies have decided to pull their games from the service — including popular titles such as Borderlands 3, Call of Duty, and Diablo 3 — and its also been reported that Nvidia was allowing access to certain games without permission from publishers. There is a bright spot for the company though, as Tim Sweeney of Epic Games has made it known that he is a staunch supporter of GeForce Now....

The game will be a third-person action adventure title....

It’s no surprise that the battle royale genre is here to stay with such staples as Fortnite, Warzone, and Apex Legends constantly seeking center stage. Competing in this realm is incredibly difficult for other battle royale games and all too often they simply don’t have the pedigree or staying power. Over the last few years a massive number of battle royale games have popped up, some still sticking around with a loyal player base, but many fading into obscurity....
