Both at The Game Awards last year and at Gamescom Opening Night Live earlier this year, there have been stage invaders interrupting the Geoff Keighley hosted events.

Who's going to win?
Which release is going to win Game of the Year? The field is so strong this year that just settling on several nominations is going to be a Herculean task in itself.

Reaction The Game Awards Finally Fulfils Its Potential
The Keighley to success
For a few years now, we’ve argued The Game Awards is just about as good as it can be – after all, there’s a ceiling to how engaging an industry awards ceremony, organised by an independent third-party, can possibly be. It’s clearly an expensive production that needs funding, and so the advertisements aren’t going...

An eventful end

News The Game Awards Will Be 'Significantly Shorter' This Year
Keighley cuts back on runtime
Geoff Keighley has done an admirable job with his The Game Awards format, providing an annual livestream that’s worth watching if you’re a fan of the medium. However, our biggest criticism is that the show has just been far too long – in recent years, the broadcast has been pushing three hours, and ultimately it...

Lost property
We’ve reached the crusty celebrity sketch phase of The Game Awards’ marketing cycle, with Michael Madsen cameoing in this toe-curling clip to promote a new title from 505 Games and Epic Games. As vague as the video is, we don’t actually know if this will release on PlayStation at all, but the QR code glimpsed in the video points...

Geoff Keighley is addicted to the hype. He's on the cusp of broadcasting Gamescom Opening Night Live, but he can't help but look forward to his next big, exciting show. Indeed, The Game Awards, Keighley's annual awards ceremony (but mostly just a very late E3 press conference) will return this December for its...
News The Game Awards 2021 Breaks Records with Livestream Numbers
Geoff's done it again
We love Geoff, but the terminology used to describe the success of The Game Awards 2021 is the kind of thing that makes our eyes roll out of their sockets.

News Star Trek: Resurgence Sets Phasers to Stun on PS5, PS4
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. We quite enjoyed the co-operative PSVR title Star Trek: Bridge Crew, but it’s been slim-picking beyond that. Dramatic Labs’ upcoming narrative adventure Star Trek: Resurgence will stir attention, then;...
News Did You Spot the Snake Robot in Horizon Forbidden West's PS5, PS4 Trailer?
Don't tread on me
If the aim with Horizon Forbidden West was for Guerrilla Games to go bigger and better, then it’s looking like it’s going to stick the landing with a Thunderjaw-esque stomp. While we’ve already been introduced to the elephant-style machine, the Tremortusk, the Dutch developer teased a couple more exotic arrivals in its...
News Metal: Hellsinger Is a Headbanging PS5 Rhythm FPS for Metalheads
\m/
It’s probably not crazy to say that the vast majority of rhythm games focus on various forms of dance music, whether it’s straight-up pop or more niche electronic tunes. Metal, traditionally, is not something represented by the genre at least, which is where Metal: Hellsinger on the PlayStation 5 aims to set itself apart. This is a...

News Battle Royale PUBG: Battlegrounds Goes Free-to-Play Next Year
Too little too late?
Poor old, PUBG, eh? The originator of the Battle Royale boom, it’s been left behind by the likes of Fortnite and Call of Duty: Warzone.

News Become the Fatemaker with Latest Tiny Tina's Wonderlands PS5, PS4 Trailer
Fantasy take on Borderlands looking good
It's easy to dismiss Tiny Tina's Wonderlands with its eye-rolling dialogue and almost garish presentation, but we mustn't forget that these titles have always been great co-op shooters. This Borderlands-adjacent spin-off takes that fun, looter shooter core and puts it in a fantastical new setting, and it's...
News Life Is Strange: True Colors Dev Adapting The Expanse for Telltale Games
We'll remember that
Acclaimed sci-fi show The Expanse will be getting a prequel, courtesy of the resurrected Telltale Games and Life Is Strange: True Colors developer Deck Nine.

This time inspired by the film
Ever since Dead by Daylight exploded in popularity, there have been a number of asymmetrical horror games.

News Steelrising, the Strange Steampunk French Revolution Game, Has a PS5 Release Window
Expect it next summer
To be brutally honest, we’re still puzzled how developer Spiders got publisher Nacon to greenlight Steelrising. Conceptually, this is one of the stranger high-budget productions we’ve seen on consoles in quite some time: it’s set during the French revolution in Paris – except Louis XVI has formed a mechanical army of...
News Rumbleverse Is a Free-to-Play Battle Royale Brawler for PS5, PS4
Epic Games on publishing duties
Epic Games’ metaverse will expand next year with Iron Galaxy’s free-to-play Battle Royale brawler, Rumbleverse.

Rip, tear, etc.
We almost forgot Evil West exists, but this new gameplay trailer has certainly put it back on our radar.

News Warhammer 40K: Space Marine Is Getting a Sequel on PS5
Ten years after original
Wow, remember Warhammer 40K: Space Marine? It was a really well-liked third-person shooter that released on the PlayStation 3 about a decade ago. Well, ten years later, Saber Interactive and Focus Entertainment are building a sequel. There’s not much meat to this trailer – despite its two-minute running time – but you...
