While many had already made the jump to next-gen with FIFA 14, even more soccer fans – having previously been burned by the first sports title on a new generation – decided to bide their time until FIFA 15 came around. They hoped that, much like Madden NFL 15, this year’s FIFA iteration would be a significant leap forward for the franchise, and proof that its legacy would continue on new platforms....
It’s not a James Bond game unless the word “GoldenEye” is in the title. It’s a brand name, representative of one of the very few quality movie tie-in games, that Activision simply cannot let go of. Even though GoldenEye represents only 1 of the 22 James Bond films to date, it’s the name of the majority of the James Bond video games that matter. Last year saw the release of GoldenEye 007 on the Wii and DS, and this fall, the HD re-remake GoldenEye 007: Reloaded debuts the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, bringing gamers yet again, back to the 1995 movie that starred Pierce Brosnan as Agent 007, replaced in the video game remakes by the voice and likeness of current James Bond, Daniel Craig....
While PC chip maker Intel isn’t too happy about console manufacturers getting exclusivity over the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto V, one of the biggest game launches of all-time, they went on record claiming that the exclusivity wouldn’t last long. Putting aside fan petitions for a PC release of GTA V and rumored development of the next-gen console versions, how could a game of this size and scope - that barely functions properly on the PS3 and Xbox 360 - with this many years of development behind it, not come to PC?...
As promised, Rockstar Games finally confirmed a highly anticipated and of-requested feature was finally making its way to the Grand Theft Auto universe: online multiplayer.

Not even the creators of Sharknado could have expected the creature feature to become the monster it is now. Produced on a modest budget of $2 million for the Syfy channel, the terrifying combination of extreme weather and deadly sea predators turned out to be a recipe for success. The film has become a cult hit, and has a sequel scheduled for release on July 30. That’s not all for the so-bad-it’s-good movie, though....

The Elder Scrolls Online released as a subscription-based MMO last year to middling reviews. Bethesda said before the game’s launch that the business model was the right decision for the long-term health of the game. The game did manage to hold more than 750,000 subscribers during its first few months on the market, but things quickly went downhill as negative word-of-mouth about the game spread and subscribers grew bored and jumped ship....
Ninja is back on Twitch, in case you missed the news from last fall. After moving to Mixer in the summer of 2019, Microsoft stunned the world by closing down the platform not even a year later. At the time, people thought that it was a dumb move for Ninja to give up his millions of followers on Twitch to take a lucrative contract with Microsoft, but the joke was on them when Microsoft was forced to pay Ninja $30 million to terminate his contract....
It’s been months since Crytek channeled the power of CryEngine 3 to release a free-to-play, near-future PC first-person shooter known as Warface, and after a number of patches and updates, they’re ready to bring Xbox 360 Gold members in on the action. The game is available free-of-charge for gamers with an active Xbox Live Gold membership this week, but with so much competition in the futuristic military FPS market, Warface is going to need more than a zero dollar entry fee to get players hooked....
If you ever get time to talk to a game developer about their job, you will quickly learn that their work is tough. That is made twice as tough when they work for a major publisher where they’re constantly under pressure of budgets, deadlines and corporate politics. Sometimes games begin development even though the team doesn’t necessarily know much about what they want to make. That can lead to games being cancelled, even after a decent amount of work is done....

In fact, a few franchises might already be coming to mind for fans of the cyberpunk genre as a whole....

With the announcement of the upcoming Sinnoh remakes, Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, came speculations of what unique features it might bring, if any. The ones that seem to have reached the surface first are those indicating the return of Mega Evolutions. Sinnoh Pokemon got a decent slice of the Mega Evolution pie when the concept was introduced, with Lopunny, Garchomp, Lucario, Abomasnow, and Gallade getting Mega Evolutions. If ever they come back, it’d be nice to see Sinnoh Pokemon get the most love – especially if it gives a few of them popularity and competitive viability they otherwise didn’t have....

Possibly one of the most under-appreciated titles of 2010, Alan Wake has managed to cull a relatively dedicated cult following. While the combat and story might not have captivated the enormous demographic of titles such as Modern Warfare 3 or the Mass Effect series, there’s no doubt that Remedy Entertainment attempted to bring something new to the table with their writer-turned-hero (especially in terms of storytelling). Unfortunately, the title suffered from poor and ill-timed marketing, releasing alongside the Red Dead Redemption juggernaut - though series fans were given a shred of hope that Wake’s journey into the night would get a second chance at triple-A success when the teaser trailer for Alan Wake’s American Nightmare was officially unveiled at the 2011 Spike Video Game Awards....
