Evolve is finished. The first-person shooter which gobbled up Game of the Show awards like they were going out of fashion has been dropped by developer Turtle Rock – mere months after going free-to-play on PC. It's safe to assume that the complimentary release didn't catch fire quite like the studio wanted it to. This all means that the...

As expected, Evolve really is going free-to-play – but not on the PlayStation 4 just yet. While PC players will be able to download the complimentary client's beta starting today, fans of Sony's system will need to wait until Turtle Rock's got everything in order. Once it's satisfied with the PC...
News Is PS4 Shooter Evolve About to Go Free to Play?
Level up
Remember Evolve? It was that game by the ex-Left 4 Dead devs that won a slew of awards prior to release, and then was swiftly ignored by gamers and the media once it actually launched.

News You Can Spend Over $60 on Evolve's Day One DLC
On the hunt
Evolve's doing itself no favours is it?

Bulking up on bandwidth
Ah, good old Evolve – the critical darling that just seems to have gotten smaller and smaller in importance since its initial unveiling.
