PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds developer Bluehole has lifted the wraps off its extensive 2018 roadmap for the battle royale title, confirming a new 4x4km island map will be made available next month.

Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Siege is Ubisoft’s competitive 5v5 tactical shooter.

Remothered: Broken Porcelain has been delayed in order to “deliver the experience you deserve” of the anticipated horror game. Its predecessor, Remothered: Tormented Fathers, is considered to be a spiritual successor to the survival horror point-and-click series Clock Tower.

Perhaps one of Resident Evil’s most intriguing aspects of its universe are the viral monstrosities and lab experiments created and weaponized by corporate entities such as Umbrella, which often tread the lines between controlled and uncontrolled chaos. Behind the history of Resident Evil’s long timeline and mysterious characters, many monstrosities are created, sometimes intentionally, and sometimes accidentally. Trying to follow the evolution of Umbrella’s experiments can quickly tie a reader down into a tangled in a web of confusion in attempting to digest it all....

Our quick take Panasonic Lumix LF1 - 4.0 / 5 Viewfinder: Great concept, poor execution Big features Wi-Fi not so hi-fi Image quality To recap The LF1’s small size, lens control ring and electronic viewfinder make it an attractive concept. But the viewfinder fails to deliver, battery life is limited, as is the 28-200mm lens’ maximum aperture and, at longer focal lengths, sharpness. It’s a mix of good and bad and much the same can be said about the LF1’s images....
