By Patrick Goss We’ve seen a glut of awesome E3 trailers, including the latest showcases of some of the biggest franchises in gaming, so we’ve brought them all together in one place for your delectation. We know you’re already going to be soaking up every word and picture of your favorite games, whether that’s FIFA…

By Matt Hanson At Microsoft’s E3 2017 presentation, it had the chance to entice non-Xbox owners into jumping onto its platform when it unveiled the console previously known as Project Scorpio, the Xbox One X. From my point of view, it failed. I have never owned an Xbox console, but while I mainly play games…

By Darren Allan Over at E3, Bethesda has revealed a new initiative for Fallout 4 and Skyrim Special Edition which the company will use to push paid-for mods for both these hit games. It’s called the Creation Club, and will offer a whole raft of custom-built content for the PC, PS4 and Xbox One –…

By Dom Reseigh-Lincoln So, now we finally know. Project Scorpio is Xbox One X – the upgraded, 4K-ready home console that’s been tricked out to the nines. It’s the most powerful console ever – both in reality and PR speak – but from what we’ve seen the curse of the Xbox One brand could clip…

By Nick Pino EA’s E3 2017 keynote showcased games that were revealed earlier this year with two minor exceptions, and the one you should pay attention to is an indie game called A Way Out. A Way Out may not have been as hyped as the 52-second trailer of Anthem, the new game from BioWare,…

By Emma Boyle At this year’s Bethesda E3 conference we got another glimpse at the highly anticipated Elder Scrolls: Skyrim for Nintendo Switch. Though many thought this may be a straight port of the 2011 game for Nintendo’s new hybrid console, it looks like Bethesda and Nintendo have worked together to do something slightly different…

By Nick Pino You know that joke about DOOM running on anything? You can now add the HTC Vive to that list. DOOM VFR was shown off at Sunday night’s Bethesda Keynote, alongside Fallout4VR – a version of the game compatible with the HTC Vive headset. Bethesda first announced Fallout4VR at last year’s E3. Nothing…

By Jon Porter Bethesda has unveiled a new Wolfenstein game, named Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, at its presentation at this year’s E3 conference. From the reveal trailer it seems as though the game will be set in the United States and will follow a group of rebels as they attempt to overthrow a Nazi…

By Jon Porter Gears of War 4 and Crackdown 3 will be the first two games to support Dolby Atmos on the Xbox One platform, a Dolby representative has confirmed. Dolby Atmos is the newest piece of sound technology from the company, and features an object-based audio system that makes it sound as though things…

By Emma Boyle Microsoft’s E3 press conference has now been and gone and what have we learned? Well, we now know that the brand new 4K console formerly known as Project Scorpio is called Xbox One X and we also know that it’ll be available to buy for $499/£449 on November 7. At the show,…

By Dom Reseigh-Lincoln Microsoft came to E3, saw and conquered /everyone/ (so far) with Xbox One X, and the most powerful console in the world is bringing upgraded processing power, graphical oomph and the might of the cloud. A new console must mean new games, and Microsoft hasn’t disappointed with one of the most impressive…

By Gerald Lynch It’s taken years of begging, but Microsoft is finally going back its gaming roots. It’s announced at E3 2017 that original Xbox games are finally becoming available as backwards compatible titles for the Xbox One family. “OG Xbox games will look better, and play better,” on the new Xbox One X and…

By Nick Pino Geoff Keighley was right – Xbox One X is going to cost $499 (£449, or around AU$650). That’s according to Xbox Chief Phil Spencer who made the announcement on stage at Microsoft’s keynote held during E3 2017. That price is a bit higher than some expected – especially considering that Xbox One…

By Julian Benson Crackdown 3 release date was announced today along with a brand new trailer at Microsoft’s E3 2017 press conference, and we have all of the news. It’ll launch for the Xbox One and Windows 10, and debut on the Xbox One X on day one. The official Crackdown 3 release date is…

By Emma Boyle Up until today, if you’re thinking of jumping into the newest generation of Xbox gaming you currently have two points of entry to choose from: the original Xbox One and its more powerful mutation the Xbox One S. But now there’s a powerful, native-4K option out there: Xbox One X. This system…
