It turns out Lara Croft is not quite the intrepid explorer that we thought. She’s managed to get her foot caught in between some boulders down a cave somewhere, thus delaying her release until next year. That’s obviously completely untrue, but it does conjure up quite a funny mental image. Darrell Gallagher from Crystal Dynamics [...]

According to this blog post, there’s an issue with the Diablo 3 pre-download for EU English and German users if you got it before 9am GMT today (12/05/2012).  Helpfully, there are instructions so that the 50MB fix can be installed without having to go through the whole 7GB download again! [...]

Kalypso Media and Realmforge Studios have announced that they forgot to pay the leccy bill and it’s DARK. Ok, maybe I got that wrong. Apparently DARK is a new title set to come to PC and Eggbox in early 2013 and there’s vampires in it, so you can forget Twilight ’cause we are moving on [...]

Assassin’s Creed III is the opening chapter of two new stories: one of Connor, the newest [...]

In a move that I can only describe as deeply puzzling, Rockstar have revamped the Rockstar Social Club. It has been well and truly overhauled for the influx of Max Payne 3 players, with: Custom personal Social Club user profiles, an all-new Friends system with public and direct messaging, the ability to link in and [...]

Arenanet tried to sneak this one past us I think. Well, they announced it on Facebook, which isn’t really sneaking, but still. Next Monday, May the 14th from 11AM to 6PM PDT/-7 GMT. It’s only for those who have pre-purchased the game (which I have, booya), and it’s going to be a stress test. We [...]

Ever wanted to be Van Helsing? I know I have, (especially after seeing Kate Beckinsale in skintight leather). Well it seems you are going to get your chance! Neocore Games, of King Arthur: The Role-playing Wargame fame have announced the title for Windows and Xbox LIVE Arcade by the end of this year. Neocore Games have [...]

It seems those B’stards over at IGN have conned the guys from Piranha Games into letting them have a play with the upcoming MechWarrior Online, dubbed the ‘Thinking man’s shooter’. I want this game. Who wouldn’t? And so to whet your appetite (as if we needed convincing) even more, IGN have thoughtfully provided you and [...]
