Blue Monday. The day when the Christmas spends come home to roost and bills land at a time when your salary looks ever decreasing when compared with your output. I ran away from my screen on Blue Monday. Hands over ears, muting the money with excessively loud 30 Seconds to Mars. Hiding from the stench of responsibility wafting piously from breakfast television where people on salaries with six figures attempted to empathise with those of us scratching our butt through worn out jeans....

If you’re hungry for the delicious taste and crunchy texture of deep-fried deities, it’s time to rejoice. God Eater 2: Rage Burst has arrived on PC, and from a couple of hours of play, I’m actually pretty happy with the port quality. From what I’ve played, God Eater 2 is a Monster Hunter-esque game in which you take on big monsters with the aid of AI (or human) teammates and hugely improbable weapons....

PlayStation has released the TV spot for the upcoming God of War: Ragnarok – and it’s certainly a star studded affair; featuring Hollywood A-listers Ben Stiller, John Travolta and LeBron James. The advert takes the form of a sort of group therapy session between the three stars and their real-life children, talking about how they can relate to Kratos and his parenting skills in the upcoming game. The common thread is parental guidance, and how the lessons we learn from Kratos’ own teachings can be applied to the celeb’s own parenting styles....

WB Games Montreal has announced that co-op Batman Arkham follow-up Gotham Knights has been delayed into next year. A statement posted to the game’s official Twitter account reads “We are giving the game more time to deliver the best possible experience for players. Thank you to our amazing fans for your tremendous suppoirt of Gotham Knights. We look forward to showcasing more of the game in the coming months.” The open world action game had originally been scheduled to launch later this year, with players taking up the mantle of Robin, Nightwing, Red Hood and Batgirl to clean up a Bruce Wayne-less Gotham City in the aftermath of the events of Batman: Arkham Knight with a combat system said to have been entirely redesigned from the ground up for cooperative play....

Grand Theft Auto Online is one of the better multiplayer experiences out there. With a world to explore and live in, the game provides plenty of different customizations and modes to keep players busy as they spend time in Los Santos. One of the crucial customization elements in the game is properties. Properties serve multiple purposes. Mainly, they can act as a hideout for players to hang out in without worrying about getting killed or hunted down by police....

Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition has been released on Steam, with support for the Steam Deck. However, it appears the release still contains bugs from the game’s poorly received release in 2021. All three games are currently available as a bundle and individually with 50 percent off as part of a larger Rockstar sale, but reviews from Steam users are mixed.

Bethesda started off the year announcing the next major chapter expansion for Elder Scrolls Online, titled Greymoor. With the pre-order packages now up for sale, it appears to offer both long-time players, returning players and new players a lot of incentives to make the purchase, especially in purchasing it before release in a few months. It is an especially good time for new and returning players to jump in to Elder Scrolls Online, given the amount of content Greymoor offers players, as well as how well Elder Scrolls Online has aged, overall, since its bumpy launch back in 2014....

It’s a veritable Advent Calender of goodness, helping us all to count down the days until the release of the two most anticipated music games of the fall: Rock Band 3 and Dance Central. And what do we have behind today’s doors? New videos, of course. We all know by now that Rock Band 3 is packed with innovation: pitch correction, Road Challenges, Pro Mode, and more. But if you were to sum up what’s great and new about Rock Band 3 in just one compound word, that word would be “keyboards....

Harry Potter: Wizards Unite is in full swing and firing on all cylinders with a series of events right out of the gate. Unlike Pokemon GO, which took the better part of a year to start consistently hosting in-game events, Wizards Unite is already giving witches and wizards that extra motivation to login and continue playing with Community Days and other Brilliant Events. The current major Brilliant Event has been broken into two parts for the first half of December, the first of which is under way now....

Monster Hunter: World is set to unleash for multiple platforms this Friday, but one console that won’t be joining in the hunt is the Switch. An odd decision you might argue, seeing as how the series previously found great success on Nintendo 3DS. However, developer Capcom has attempted to shine light on the lack of a Switch edition of the game. Chiefly, the Resident Evil creator noted that it wanted to make Monster Hunter: World on the most powerful hardware available at the time, which happened to be PS4 and Xbox One (development began around four years ago)....

The Heroes of the Storm World Championship will reach its climax at BlizzCon this November, with players looking to secure a chunk of the $1.2 million prize fund, Blizzard has announced.

Think of alien invasions, and the chances are it’s films that come to mind first – Independence Day, Avengers Assemble, Edge Of Tomorrow, perhaps even Mars Attacks! However, with the new adaptation of HG Wells seminal alien invasion story The War Of The Worlds coming to television now, it’s worth remembering that there are some great stories about alien invasions of our little blue-green planet told on the small screen too....
