First, a joke: Q. How do you know when somebody doesn’t have a television? A. They’ll tell you. That joke’s always been funny because it’s always been true, but the expiration date on it is fast approaching. Nobody watches TV on televisions anymore. We all watch TV on our phones, or on our laptops or on other people’s iPads across the aisle of a crowded train. In the near future, that joke will be:...
Players who choose to kill other members of their team in Rainbow Six Siege “will not be tolerated”, Ubisoft has warned, adding that it has a “plan in place to handle them” following the game’s launch. The warning follows reports of trolls teamkilling other players in last week’s multiplayer beta, with no penalty in place to discourage them from doing so. But that won’t be the case as of tomorrow, Ubi says....
Are crappy controls keeping you from playing on your mobile device? Then Razer may have just invented the controller that will get you to play games on your phone. It’s called the Razer Kishi. Why Kishi? We don’t know. If we had to guess, it’s named after the two-faced demon in Angolan folklore since the controller comes in two halves, much like a Joy-Con. And much like the Switch, it turns any phone into a proper mobile gaming platform....
This has been a year jam-packed with huge titles, and we’re only halfway through. With so many big games being released, there’s bound to be competition, especially for same-day releases. Such is the case for May 17th - the date that brought us Red Dead Redemption, Alan Wake and Split/Second. Three anticipated titles, one release day. The NPD group reported that Alan Wake moved 145k copies and Split/Second pushed 86k copies....
The release of the original Red Dead Redemption in 2010, along with the Undead Nightmare expansion, left players wanting more of everything. More shootouts and saloon fights. More eccentric and wily characters. More riding horseback through the vast, open world of the western frontier. And while it was a long eight years, Rockstar made sure that the wait was well worth it – albeit not without some controversy. Red Dead Redemption 2 immerses players in the grueling world of the wild west with familiar gameplay dynamics that have been taken to the next level to not only make Red Dead Redemption 2 an easy favorite for game of the year, but also Rockstar’s crowning achievement to date....

Overwatch 2 on PC Real talk: my feelings and thoughts on Overwatch 2 have definitely been a bit of a rollercoaster ride since the initial beta with Sojourn. Things started out pretty positive as I’d just been glad to be back on the Overwatch hype train again, then that hype took a nosedive with the Junker Queen beta when I realized how much shorter the time-to-kill was. Look, it’s no secret that I’m awful at competitive shooters, and dying within seconds always feels bad especially when you can’t even react....

Amid reports Sony is overhauling its PlayStation Plus service into something more closely resembling Game Pass, Xbox head Phil Spencer has said he thinks it’s an “inevitability” competitors will begin adopting the model because it’s “the right answer”. “I don’t mean it to sound like we’ve got it all figured out [at Xbox]”, Spencer told IGN when quizzed on the recent reports involving Sony, “but I think the right answer is allowing your customers to play the games they want to play, where they want to play them, and giving them choice about how they build their library, and being transparent with them about what our plans are in terms of our PC initiatives and our cross-gen initiatives and other things....
PlayStation is planning to adapt the excellent Gravity Rush into a movie, it has been reported. Deadline states that the Japan Studio title is the latest to be added to a long, long line of projects in the works at PlayStation Productions. So far, director Anna Mastro (who helmed Disney+ series Secret Society of Second Born Royals) and script writer Emily Jerome (Panopticon) are attached.
