Zilla
Does anyone remember War of the Monsters, or is that just a deep cut that’d be the million dollar question in some kind of PlayStation trivia quiz?

News Splinter Cell Remake Officially Announced, Not Open World
Ziaowww
It’s actually happening! The rumours have persisted for years, but now Ubisoft has made Splinter Cell official – and it’s a remake of the original. We think.

SnowRunner developer Saber Interactive behind the wheel
The off-road endurance event, Dakar Rally, is the perfect fit for video games – and, subsequently, we were largely impressed with Dakar 18, which depicted the 2018 incarnation of the annual event. SnowRunner developer Saber Interactive is now picking up the mantle with Dakar Desert Rally, a...

Do you think Karl Fairburne’s voice actor gargled gravel before reading the script for Sniper Elite 5’s reveal trailer?

Live long and prosper
Outside of the ever-popular Star Trek Online, there’s alarmingly little for Trekkies to dig into on consoles these days.
