By Darren Allan Blizzard has revealed more details on exactly how World of Warcraft Classic will pan out, with the nostalgic spin on the MMO set to be based on the game as it was during Patch 1.12 (known as Drums of War). Drums of War went live in August 2006 and was the last…

By Emma Boyle One of the big benefits that always-online games has is that they can be topical and right now the only topic bigger than Fortnite is the World Cup so it’s not especially surprising that Epic Games has decided to bring the two together. To celebrate the beautiful game, Epic has added a…

By Nick Pino While we expected Nintendo to show up with a handful of new games at E3 2018 – including the coveted and still very much unknown Metroid Prime 4 – Nintendo spent the vast majority of its time talking about Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. But, right before Nintendo went into a 25-minute spiel…

That’s because Blizzard Entertainment’s seminal sci-fi, real-time strategy game changed the landscape of online and competitive gaming forever.

By TechRadar Staff E3 is finally over and now is as good a time as any to look back on the spectacle that was the Electronic Entertainment Expo’s 24th year in existence. It was a year that brought us a boat load of trailers during Microsoft’s keynote, a heaping helping of Super Smash Bros Ultimate…

By Joe Osborne When it comes to the best gaming PCs, there are two approaches you can take. You can either pick up the best processor, best graphics card and others, and piece them together like high-tech Legos – or, you can buy a pre-built computer.

By Joe Osborne Like all of the leading mainstream PC and laptop makers, Lenovo has been chasing the collective muse that is PC gamers for some time now. And, for a while, the firm was doing so in much the same way as its competitors: raw power and extreme gamer style. However, Lenovo soon realized…

In fact, the very geometry of a human body hunched towards a monitor with one hand spidering across a keyboard and another on the mouse seems to create a barrier of body language that deflects all social contact. But times have changed. Today,…

By Nick Pino In a convention about wars past, present and future, sports games and fantasy worlds set far, far away from our own, one game stood out to me with its strong grounding in reality and even stronger message of anti-bullying. It’s called Concrete Genie and while it didn’t get a trailer during Sony’s…
