Because the industry is TOTALLY healthy and NOT AT ALL broken, “AAA” publishers have found yet another way to avoid simply giving you a product for a simple cash trade. Pre-order Early Access has been growing in popularity these last few years, and now they know they’ve gotten away with…
It never seemed likely that Bethesda was capable of handling an online Fallout game, and the dreadful mess that is Fallout 76 only validates one’s cynicism. Which is fine, because Fallout 76 is, itself, a cynical game. A cynical game that barely works. Lifeless, archaic, and featuring a totally mangled…
Spyro Reignited Trilogy is out, which means nothing else matters. A rarity, in that it’s an Activision release without a nasty predatory catch, Spyro is a ton of fun and it’s held up incredibly well!

Diablo Immortal was announced to an audience that ranged from apathetic to furious, as a mobile Diablo game turned out to be exactly what Blizzcon attendees didn’t want.

Every now and then, “AAA” publishers attempt to smuggle their microtransactions in post-launch so they don’t get mentioned in reviews or early buyers. In the case of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, it’s pretty obvious that Activision Blizzard had a hell of a con job to hide. Call of…
Activision Blizzard had an investor call last night. They’re always fun because it’s the only time to see publishers being honest (to their only true customers). Activision has revealed that Destiny 2 disappointed them, failing to meet sales expectations. Their response is to be more content and more monetization. One…

*NOTE: According to comments, the Shambler fight isn’t trial and error. There are clues hidden during the encounter. Still BS in my opinion, since it’s not very intuitive and leads to one thinking it’s trial and error. But it’s a bit better. Cyanide’s back and it’s brought a Call of…

When Toby Fox released Deltarune, everyone asked to keep quiet about it for 24 hours. Obviously that didn’t happen. Elsewhere, Kotaku has a neverending source of leaked information for games like Assassin’s Creed and Fallout. Let’s not forget that time Randy Pitchford called an accurate report on Borderlands 2 “shoddy…
