Feature Four Years Later and Warframe Is Easily One of the Best Free-to-Play Games on PS4
Go ninja
Warframe was one of several free-to-play games available on PlayStation 4 for the console's launch. When we reviewed it all the way back in December of 2013 (that long ago? Really?) it's safe to say that we were critical. Back then, the third-person action title was still technically in its beta phase on Sony's system, and it had more than...

News Warframe's Got Another PS4 Patch that Sneaks in New Weapons and Missions
Stealthily does it
You've got to hand it to Digital Extremes, the developer behind PlayStation 4 free-to-play shooter Warframe. The amount of post-release support that the game has received has been impressive to say the least, and it's getting to the point where it's almost an entirely different beast to the title that was available when Sony's...
News Free PS4 Game Warframe Gets a Gigantic Content Update
Space race

And right now, you can download the title's latest update, which adds yet more new content to the co-op...
News Warframe Finally Loots Trophy Support and Custom Controls on PS4
War always changes
Back in our review of Digital Extremes' PlayStation 4 free-to-play shooter, we declared that Warframe was a decent game, but it needed some work before we could consider it to be truly compelling. It's promising, then, that the developer seems determined to improve on its relatively solid product by adding in some heavily...

Bolstering the PlayStation 4's launch line-up are a number of free-to-play games, including Digital Extremes' Warframe – a third person action RPG, full of loot, levelling, and co-op chaos.

We're pretty sure 2K Games understands that February is a stacked month for games
With Binary Domain, Grand Slam Tennis 2 and the launch of the PlayStation Vita all vying for your cash — the publisher hopes that by releasing a demo for The Darkness II your money will gravitate towards its dark, comic-book inspired game.

We suppose it's appropriate for Hallowe'en, but man, if you're eating right now, we can only recommend that you don't click play.
News The Darkness 2 Shines In New Brotherhood Trailer
We'll be honest, we've not been that excited by what we've seen of The Darkness 2 so far
Sure the game's got a neat art-style, but it's a universe we hadn't really considered returning to. But the game's latest trailer — narrated by a complete an utter odd-ball — is actually really cool. Not only does it make the fiction seem totally engaging, but the bits and bobs of gameplay included look..

Hence it's released a little recap video to get you up to date ahead of its upcoming sequel, The Darkness II. Catch it after the jump. The Darkness II is..
News The Darkness II Gets Delayed Out Of October, Into February
It's that time of the year again
The time of the year where publishers of not-quite-blockbuster-games delay their big fall releases because of the looming threat of Call Of Duty and Uncharted and Batman and Battlefield. 2K Games' The Darkness II is the first notable title to be pushed out of its release window, presumably for marketing reasons. The title will now release in February, as opposed to..

E3 2011 The Darkness II's New Visual Style Looks Great
When we first heard The Darkness was getting a sequel, we were a bit like, "Yeah whatever?" We liked the original game a fair amount, but never considered it a classic like many others do

What Starbreeze did well, in a nutshell, were characters and story, said Galt..
News 2K Reveals The Darkness II, Developed By Digital Extremes & Due In 2011
Remember The Darkness? Vaguely
Yeah, us too. We remember watching "To Kill A Mockingbird" with our polygonal girlfriend. Then it all went a bit weird and we had snakes coming out of our shoulders. Then it got even weirder, and we started walking around trenches, except the soldiers in them were all skeletons. Or something. Honestly, we can't remember much else. We do know people have been..

News New Bioshock 2 Trailer Fails To Get Us Any More Excited

Bioshock 2 may be being developed by about 20,000 different developers, but those guys are finally gearing up to release the product
