Live Watch the EA Play 2020 Livestream Right Here
Electronic artists
We don’t think it’s unfair to say that EA Play, typically, is the worst of the E3 press conferences, so there’s not a fat lot of enthusiasm for this standalone iteration of the event.

Feature Sony's Most Memorable E3 Moments
Hype machine
At this point in time, it looks as though Sony's relationship with E3 is over. The Electronic Entertainment Expo has been running since 1995, and PlayStation has been in attendance every year.

Hands On The Last of Us 2's World-Building Is Almost Unmatched
Every store has a story
A large part of The Last of Us’ enduring appeal is just how real its vision of the apocalypse seemed.

DLC Review Mortal Kombat 11 Aftermath Adds More Gore for a Brutal Price
Lacking in kontent
Last year's Mortal Kombat 11 was another solid entry in the legendary fighting franchise, but its reliance on unnecessary grinding left us colder than a Sub-Zero fatality. Aftermath, the series' first story-focused DLC, is similarly fun to play but offers a distinct lack of content for the price it charges. The first thing to...

Interview Bringing Some Humanity to Fallout 76 with Composer Inon Zur
Appalachia's changed
Bethesda's pseudo-MMO, always-online world Fallout 76 has had, to put it mildly, a rough time of things.

Hands On The Last of Us 2 May Be the Most Accessible Action Game Ever Made
For all the players
A lot of games can, if we’re being honest with ourselves, be pretty impenetrable. If you’re reading this article, you’ve probably got years of DualShock practice under your belt, and so utilising both analogue sticks in order to line up perfect headshots feels organic. It can be easy to forget, however, that not everyone...
