Coronavirus delays continue to strike the industry as well as the fan events meant to celebrate gaming. Delayed once already this year, Summer Games Done Quick 2020 will now be an online only affair, running August 16-23 due to further concerns about coronavirus, as well as–one has to assume–the Black Lives Matter protests in Minneapolis, Minnesota

Could the greatest bastion of PlayStation 4 exclusivity find itself not only on the shores of PC gaming, but also as a PlayStation 5 remaster? After all, the rumors have floated around of Bloodborne resurfacing for years, especially in regards to a potential PC rerelease. While rumors are always to be taken with a grain
Valorant reviewed by Kyle Campbell on PC. “Nail-biting bomb plants, hip fire headshots, and hypernatural flicks of the wrist are the tenets of Valorant. This 5v5 tactical hero shooter by League of Legends developer Riot Games had a stranglehold on me from my first carefully strategized victory. Now, after clocking 90 hours between the closed
First came the cancelation of E3 due to coronavirus, the same pandemic which led to the creation of EA’s Play Live 2020 presentation event. Originally scheduled for June 11 as an online streaming extravaganza, plans are changing for the publisher once more. Now, the event meant to replace the canceled convention is also being delayed.
Electronic Arts are making room for “important voices being heard,” I assume in the Black Lives Matter movement though they don’t name it, by delaying their EA Play Live event by a week.

Electronic Arts has postponed this year’s EA Play games showcase (normally timed around the E3 event) by a week after the recent events surrounding the killing of George Floyd. The event – originally planned for June 11 – will now occur one week later on June 18. Although the notice (below) doesn’t specifically mention Black
Destiny 2 Season of the Worthy is coming to a close, but before Season 11 kicks off on June 9th, there’s just one matter to resolve: that enormous Cabal planet-destroyer that is still hurtling towards The Last City. At the outset of the season three months ago, the Cabal enacted a last-ditch effort to take
A collection of 20 games on Itch are part of a Black Lives Matter bundle raising money for related organisations. So far the bundle has raised over $50,000, ten times its original goal. The organisers are now hoping to raise a total of $99,999, the maximum goal they say that Itch allows them to specify.
The Elder Scrolls Online: Greymoor reviewed by Leif Johnson on PC. Also available on Xbox One and PlayStation 4. “By the time December rolls around, a full decade will have passed since Bethesda first awed us with the announcement of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, which is considered one of the greatest sandbox RPGs of
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone now have Black Lives Matter loading screens ahead of every single match, openly and directly communicating the support for the movement that seeks equal justice and treatment for Black people as well as an end to police brutality, often focused on the Black community.

By Stephany Nunneley, Friday, 5 June 2020 20:10 GMT When Pokemon Go’s Throwback Challenge ends next week, certain Alolan and Galarian forms will be hatching from all 7 km Eggs.

You’re not ready for Fly Punch Boom. No really, you’re not. You might think you were born to play a game that essentially throws you into an anime royal rumble, but neither your eyes nor your reactions are up to the task. Not yet. It’s going to take time to acclimatise to Fly Punch Boom’s
By Stephany Nunneley, Friday, 5 June 2020 19:50 GMT This Pokemon short is rather cute. The Pokemon Company has released an animated short for Pokemon in the style of an older Looney Tunes or Micky Mouse cartoon. It stars Scraggy and Mimikyu and the short is called Poketoon Episode 1: Chase the Beans (thanks, Silionera). In it,
First-person tactical shooter Valorant just came out of beta, with a new character, mode, and map. In an interview with GameSpot, Riot Games said that a console Valorant is being prototyped. Valorant plays a lot like Valve’s Counter-Strike, with a focus on team communication, round-to-round economy, obstructing sight, and using information to make big plays.
Microsoft unveiled its Cyberpunk 2077 Xbox One X bundle a few months back, which included a custom Xbox One X console, a Cyberpunk-themed controller, a digital copy of Cyberpunk 2077.

Earlier in the year, charity speedrunning event Summer Games Done Quick made the decision to delay until August in light of the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic.

A quick and crude calculation on all The Sims 4 add-ons – for those without EA Access and haven’t bought any DLC whilst it has been on offer – suggests that there is over £500 worth of content. And the folks at Maxis and EA aren’t quite finished with your money yet, as today sees

Amid all these flashy full remakes of older games, Command & Conquer Remastered Collection is holding the line for the remaster crowd who want their classic games with more pixels but no fewer quirks.

1995’s Command & Conquer and 1996’s Red Alert hold up as well as you’d expect in this lovingly-constructed, absolutely definitive HD Remaster package. I bloody love Command & Conquer – and honestly, I think the strategy series birthed by Westwood Studios has had a hard time. All too often it gets lumped in with those
I played a lot of Startopia growing up. If you are unfamiliar, it was a weird management game where you were in charge of running a port on a big, donut-shaped space station. Last year Spacebase Startopia was announced, a sort of remake-slash-sequel to Startopia made by a different studio, and this weekend it went
We had a lot of fun designing our own Nintendo-themed cycle helmets thanks to UK based helmet maker Hedkayse. The lovely folks at Hedkayse were so impressed they would love to see the designs that YOU can come up with if you were able to design your own helmet. Five lucky winners will then have
We’ll admit it, this is a bit of a random one. First, let’s dismiss the myth – Nintendo Life Towers does not actually exist. In fact, most of our team have always worked remotely, although we do indeed have a small (shoe box-sized) office in a shared building at Loughborough University Science and Enterprise Park,
Yesterday, publisher THQ Nordic unveiled plans to release a Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning remaster. Alongside news of Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning came details about a Collector’s Edition.
