Plus, our final thoughts
After absolutely hammering The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited PlayStation 4 beta virtually all weekend, we're actually a bit sad to see it go.

First Impressions How Brutal Is The Elder Scrolls Online's Combat in Its PS4 Beta?
Plus, we take a look at character progression
Combat in The Elder Scrolls series has never been brilliant, despite the fact that it's been integral to each title's design.

News Oh Great, Bethesda Will Be Making Our E3 Even Sleepier
Zzzzz
There's no doubt about it: E3 is an amazing time for gamers – assuming that you live in North America. The event rarely ever takes into account its global audience, though, with press conferences often scheduled at ungodly hours in Europe – and Sony's show is usually the worst offender. Step forward Bethesda, who'll be holding its first...

MMO's getting a fresh start
After an eternity of delays, The Elder Scrolls Online is finally adventuring onto the PlayStation 4 on the 9th June, and, for what it's worth, it's looking like the massively multiplayer online role-playing game will feature some nice improvements by the time that it steps foot onto Sony's newest console.

News All of Skyrim's Writings Can Be Yours Thanks to This Hardback Book Series
Knowledge is power
You may have picked up its books purely to see if they granted you a lovely skill increase, but a heck of a lot of effort must have been put into The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim's vast amount of in-game literature. From stories of adventure to The Lusty Argonian Maid, Bethesda's open world role-playing game was full to the brim with...
News Bethesda Shines a Light on The Evil Within DLC
Don't tease us, please
With unforgiving combat, a surreal storyline, and infrequent checkpoints, last year's The Evil Within was a case of horror game Marmite – you either loved it or you hated it. Assuming that you fall into the former camp, though, you may be excited to learn that DLC is on the way, with 'The Assignment' due out in March...
News Bethesda's Bringing Something Big to E3 2015
Place your bets
The developer of many a beloved franchise including Fallout and The Elder Scrolls, Bethesda will be hosting its first ever on-stage press conference at E3 2015.

Rumour Could The Elder Scrolls Online Be Adventuring onto PS4 Next Month?
By the Nine
The Elder Scrolls Online's console appearance is pretty much the stuff of myth and legend at this point, but given that it's now 2015, we reckon news of its current state must be on the way.

Review The Evil Within (PlayStation 4)
Clair de Loony
The Evil Within knows how to make you sweat. Tango Gameworks’ disgusting debut outing will leave you teetering on the precipice of failure with every twisted encounter, causing you to curse your shortage of resources or your character’s lack of superhuman strength. This is a game that, like its survival horror superiors, isn’t...

Way to inspire confidence
Behind closed door presentations are not uncommon in this industry, but they’re especially odd when fans are invited to them. One would assume that if a game is ready to be shown to the public – albeit a hardcore subset – then that footage should be uploaded to the web, but Bethesda has put a BFG to the head of anyone...

News The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Didn't Look Like This on the PS3
To be fair, it didn't boot half of the time
As much as it pains us to say it, the PlayStation 3 didn’t provide the best home for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. In addition to late expansion packs and the usual roster of Bethesda bugs, the game was borderline broken on Sony’s popular platform. Things did improve over time, but not to a degree where...

Review Wolfenstein: The New Order (PlayStation 4)
Back to the Führer
"Shooting, stabbing, strangling Nazis," is the response that long time Wolfenstein protagonist B.J. Blazkowicz gives when asked what he's been up to recently. Starting all the way back in the early nineties with Wolfenstein 3D, he’s definitely shown an enthusiasm for his craft, making it seem more of a pastime than a career. In...
News Old School and New School Merge in This Surprising Wolfenstein Easter Egg
A blast from the past
There's no doubt that Wolfenstein: The New Order is heavily inspired by its 1992 predecessor Wolfenstein 3D, which pioneered the shooter genre much like the legendary DOOM. But with next-gen graphics, deeper yet classic gunplay mechanics, and an intricately designed world where Nazis rule with bizarre technology, this game...
