By Damien McFerran Ubisoft is one of the world’s biggest publishers of video games, so it stands to reason that its E3 conference is going to garner plenty of attention. The really odd thing is that with the exception of a couple of games, we already had a good idea of what was coming –…

By Darren Allan Over at E3, Sega has revealed that it’s bringing a trio of titles from the console format to PC, including two games from the Yakuza series. It’s the first time that this big-hitting franchise has debuted on the PC, and Yakuza 0 is leading the charge, with the game already up for…

By Darren Allan You may have noticed that Ubisoft has been giving away quite a few freebie PC games in recent times, and here’s another in the form of For Honor. Yes, you can get For Honor for the price of absolutely nothing – albeit the Starter Edition of the game – if you head…

By Emma Boyle We’ve noticed some trends during E3 this year – apocalyptic settings in games, a real push forward into always-online experiences, and talk of the end of this console generation and the prospective end of consoles altogether in the future. There’s a revolution in the air. Following Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot’s recent posit…

By Emma Boyle It’s hard to believe it’s been one year since the last E3 PlayStation conference. It’s become so foggy in my memory you could have told me it was longer and I wouldn’t have been altogether surprised. Alright, that’s a little unfair – last year PlayStation put on a show with a lot…

By Dom Reseigh-Lincoln E3 2018 is in full swing, and that can only mean one thing: all the big names (that’s Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo to you and me) have descended on Los Angeles, California to show off their latest games and innovations. Sony may have announced it was only focusing on four games at…

By James Peckham You may be desperate to play Call of Duty Black Ops 4, but if you haven’t played the last installment in the shooter franchise you can now pick up Black Ops 3 for free on PlayStation 4. If you’re a PlayStation Plus subscriber, you can download the game for free from today.…

By Bill Thomas PC Gamer’s annual PC Gaming Show has a bit of a shaky history, often dragging on for hours, filled with unnecessary skits and tedious interviews. At E3 2018, however, it seems like PC Gamer has listened to criticism, because it was shorter, more concise and filled with exciting PC games. As passionate…

By Matt Swider If you watched Jaws or Deep Blue Sea and thought, “I’d love to play a game where I’m the shark,” then Maneater is the game for you. It’s the new open-world, single-player Action RPG from Blindside Studios, and it was just shown off at the E3 2018 PC Gaming Show. Maneater comes…

By Kevin Lee Satisfactory is the latest building adventure game from Coffee Stain Studios and from the looks of its first trailer, it’s almost like a first-person SimCity game. As with most games in the genre like Minecraft and Ark, you’ll start off collecting basic resources, but from there you can build enormous factory machines.…

By Kevin Lee If you’re a fan of Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds but just feel like it could use quadruple the player count, Mavericks: Proving Grounds might just be the game for you. At E3 2018, the game’s developer, Automaton, announced it will kick off a beta of its 400 player last-man-standing games on August 18,…

By Mark Knapp Ubisoft’s buddy-buddy relationship with Nintendo appears to be getting even deeper, as it was announced at E3 2018 that Nintendo’s Starfox is coming to Starlink: Battle for Atlas. Starlink: Battle for Atlas is the toy-based video game that Ubisoft announced at E3 2017. This year, they showed off even more of the…

By Matt Hanson E3 is here once again, and it’s a time when console makers try to persuade us to buy their wares. As Microsoft took to the stage, I was willing to be persuaded that the Xbox One would be a worthy addition to my gaming collection. However, after the conference I was more…

By Stephen Slaybaugh At its E3 2018 press conference, Microsoft unveiled a bevy of new games highlighted by its Halo Infinite reveal and its dramatic Cyberpunk 2077 announcement. The company also hinted at a forthcoming new console. Perhaps it’s not unrelated then that today Microsoft discounted its current top-of-the-line console, the Xbox One X. It’s…

By Joe Osborne In the wake of E3 2018, Lenovo has revealed an overhaul to its Legion brand of gaming PC hardware, including brand new laptops and desktops.
