• Rage 2 Looks Like a Great Id Game, But What About Its Open World?

  24-06-2018 23:00
  Rage 2 is an Id shooter alright. The furious-bordering-on-ridiculous pace, the bulging, oversized guns, that blood-spattered feedback designed to keep you pushing, pushing, pushing.

  My hands-on demo is a 10-minute run-through

• The Drastic and Unexpected Changes Coming to Battlefield 5

  24-06-2018 21:22
  Recently, I ransacked the IGN game library for physical copies of every Battlefield going all the way back to 1942. As I worked my way through the series, a pattern began to emerge: for every innovative entry there was an iterative one. For every Battlefield 2, there was a Battlefield 2142 that, while thematically distinct, did little to advance the series mechanically. So when I sat down to play Battlefield V at EA Play I was fully expecting Battlefield 1 with building. What I got was a sneak p
