• Cyberpunk 2077: CD Projekt Addresses First-Person Fan Response

  13-06-2018 23:56
  Cyberpunk 2077's trailer closing Microsoft's E3 2018 press conference was one of the most memorable moments of the entire show. But that wasn't all CD Projekt RED had to show us. We got a chance to see a 45 minute live demo behind-closed-doors, and we learned so much about the gameplay, mechanics, and world.

• Project 1v1 Is A Quake III-Style Shooter With An Old-School Arcade Twist

  13-06-2018 23:35
  Project 1v1 may look like a Quake III/Unreal Tournament-style FPS at first glance, but there’s more to it than just the opponent-gibbing action. As the title suggests, Project 1v1’s matches are limited to just two players, and play out on small and twisting maps full of ramps, jump pads, and the occasional insta-kill hazard. Whoever racks up the most frags in the allotted time wins. So far, so ‘90s.However, Gearbox is adding a few interesting twists to the formula. The fir

• Check Your Expectations – Blades Isn't The Full Elder Scrolls Package

  13-06-2018 23:13
  One of the best things about open-world role-playing games like the Elder Scrolls titles is they can be many things to many people. Some come for the combat mastery, or leveling characters to god status. Others are most invested in exploring vast open worlds. And then there are the weirdos who fill their house with thousands of skulls. Some of this is inevitably lost in the transition to mobile platforms, but that's not to say fans won't find something to like about Elder Scrolls: Blades. A
