Geralt's finale sounds great
We bloody love The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - and yes, we now include editor Sammy Barker in that statement - so we're really looking forward to Blood and Wine, Geralt's final adventure. According to an interview with developer CD Projekt Red from
Soapbox Why I Don't Hate The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Anymore
Bitchin' witchin'
I stopped playing The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on 6th June, swore off it for life, told colleague Robert Ramsey that he'd Made_A_Huge_Mistake.gif awarding it a 10/10, and spent the following six months ridiculing everyone for liking a game in which following a floating foetus is widely regarded as its best bit. I was wrong. Y'see,...
News The Witcher 3 PS4 Patch 1.12 Is Out Now
It's fixing time
Hey, it's been quite a while since we've done one of these, eh? There's a brand new update out for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on PlayStation 4, which weighs in at about 1.5GB. Good job there's a decimal point in there. Truth be told, there's no reason to get really excited for this one - patch 1.12 is stuffed with specific fixes and...
Soapbox Why Mad Max Is a Hugely Overlooked Game
Sam Brooke on a world gone mad
Mad Max didn't really make any Game of the Year lists, yet I feel that it's been hugely overlooked, and that it has plenty to offer. The game, on paper, should've just been another boring Ubisoft open-worlder: camps to infiltrate, viewpoints to climb up to and survey, skill trees, upgrades, and all the usual stuff...
News Feast Your Eyes on The Witcher 3's Final Expansion with These First Screenshots
Wine and dine
Who's ready for Geralt of Rivia's final adventure, then? It's been a long and admittedly bloody road, but the silver haired warrior's journey is drawing to a close next year with the release of Blood and Wine, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt's second expansion - and it's already looking good. Judging from these brand new environmental...
News Xenomorph, Leatherface Breathe Fear into Mortal Kombat X
Bo Rai Cho and Tri-Borg also enter the fray
At this point, NetherRealm Studios may as well just turn Terrordrome into a real title, as it's slowly adding every slasher icon that it can license to Mortal Kombat X. A trailer for the brawler's second Season Pass has leaked ahead of The Game Awards, revealing that The Texas Chainsaw Massacre's...

News You'll Find Out Who's Next in Mortal Kombat X at The Game Awards
Round two
Mortal Kombat X has been one of the biggest sellers of 2015, so it's no surprise that NetherRealm has decided to extend DLC support for the fighter. And according to series creator Ed Boon, a new challenger will arrive during The Game Awards this week, with the release set to feature as one of Geoff Keighley's ten premieres. It'll be...
News New The Witcher 3 Trailer Reminds Us Why It's a Game of the Year Contender
Bewitched
'Epic' is a word that gets thrown around a lot these days - often rather carelessly - but we reckon that The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt's new 'Epic Trailer' sort of deserves to use it. In what appears to be a bid to make everyone remember that it's arguably one of the best titles of 2015, the video is a montage of many memorable moments from...
News The Witcher 3 Sweeps Golden Joystick Awards 2015
Ultimate Game of the Year, apparently
Geralt will be wearing a rather wry smile right now as The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt pretty much dominated this year's Golden Joystick Awards. The annual awards are based on public voting, so it's safe to say that the games which end up winning have usually had a big impact on the gaming community. CD Projekt Red's...
News The Witcher 3 PS4 Patch 1.11 Finally Fixes Skellige's Most Wanted Quest
And it's out very soon
Following on from the game's previous and absolutely gigantic 1.10 update, CD Projekt Red has announced that it'll be releasing The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt's latest patch "shortly". Update 1.11 fixes a slew of bugs and adjusts numerous bits and pieces - some of which are to do with the title's first expansion, Hearts of Stone...
Review The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Hearts of Stone (PS4)
A Witcher's work is thankfully never done
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Hearts of Stone is downloadable content done right. After being supported for weeks after its initial launch with free bits and pieces, the open world role-playing game's first of two expansions is here, and it's absolutely essential for anyone who enjoyed Geralt of Rivia's main...
News Follow the Dying Light with Dirt Buggy DLC in 2016
Car-nage
Want to know what was a good game? Dying Light. Techland's zombie slayer launched so early in the year that it's likely to be overlooked when the end of 2015 awards roll around, but we reckon that it's up there with some of the best titles that we've played over the past 12 months. And subsequently we're quite looking forward to The...
News Used a Money Exploit in The Witcher 3? The New Expansion Will Find You Out
Geralt's greatest foe?
Remember when CD Projekt Red added in a big hulking beastie to the first area of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt in order to punish players who were killing cows and selling their hides to make some quick cash? Well the Polish studio's at it again with the game's first expansion, Hearts of Stone. If you've used any exploits to...
Brick in the wallet
LEGO has been a popular children's toy for many years, and we'll happily admit that we still play with it on the odd occasion because, ahem, we have younger relatives. Obvs. Anyway, it's no surprise that LEGO was transformed into a video game blockbuster [Like it! - Ed], using many major franchises to expand the plaything's reach...
News The Witcher 3's PS4 Patch Will Require 15GB of Space
Oof
Wow, these patches just seem to get bigger and bigger, don't they? When The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt initially launched, it took up around 29GB of our PlayStation 4's hard drive, but by the time that we've nabbed its latest update, that number's going to be closer to 50GB. Ever-reliable CD Projekt Red community lead Marcin Momot has stated on...
News The Witcher 3's New PS4 Patch Is So Gigantic We Can't Fit It in One Article
PS4 performance improvements incoming
Good lord, we don't even want to think about how much time and effort was put into creating this frankly ridiculous update for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Instead of posting the patch notes on the game's official forums as per usual, the developer has instead provided a link to a 13-page PDF - which says it all,...
News The Witcher 3 Hearts of Stone Expansion Trailer Sets a Dark and Dangerous Mood
Back to the hunt
Hearts of Stone is going to be one heck of a fun ride if its official trailer is anything to go by. Supposedly adding around 10 hours of new story content to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, the expansion releases next week on the PlayStation 4, and although we imagine that it'll be more of the same for grizzly old Geralt, we've certainly...
News Massive List of Improvements in The Witcher 3's Next PS4 Patch
Fixing everything that Gwent wrong
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is recognised as being one of the best role-playing releases in years, but it has been criticised for its performance problems on the PlayStation 4.

News There's a New The Witcher 3 Free PS4 Theme and It's Well Worth Downloading
It's even got its own music
Earlier this week, a brand new The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt PlayStation 4 theme launched on the PlayStation Store, but its arrival passed us by almost entirely. The game's last theme, which featured artwork of monsters, wasn't all that great, but this fresh one's pretty fantastic. Boasting moody representations of both...
News Witcher 3 Expansion Screenshots Tease New Monsters and Blatant Baddies
Get your swords out
Ah, good old screenshots - the media that never fails to tease. As with any good pictures, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt's latest snaps bring up a bunch of interesting questions as we attempt to decipher just what it is that they're showing us. First on the agenda is a rather large amphibious creature that appears to be lurking...

We hope that you're prepared to jump back into the hunt, because the first trailer for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt's first expansion, Hearts of Stone, is ready and waiting. Needless to say, it's only a teaser, so don't expect to see too much. Featuring a familiar face - points for remembering who it is - it looks like...
News The Witcher 3's First Expansion Requires a High Level Geralt
No newbies allowed
As you'd probably expect, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt's first expansion, Hearts of Stone, will require a rather beefy Geralt of Rivia. Answering a fan's question on Twitter, ever reliable community lead Marcin Momot confirmed that the upcoming add-on is intended for Witchers who are level 30 and over. Momot also stated that the...

Yennefer's too
If you've already played through The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and romanced the fiery haired Triss Merigold, then there's a chance that you feel as though her relationship with Geralt left something to be desired. Because of the way that the role-playing release is set up, our grizzly protagonist is perhaps more inclined to pursue romance...
News Here's Mad Max's Huge Open World Map From End to End
That's a lot of dust
Mad Max has had the misfortune of releasing on the same day as one of the most highly anticipated titles of 2015, and although we doubt that it'll be able to outperform Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain when it comes to sales, it still looks like a decent enough open world romp all the same. And, as with any game that's got...
Round Up Mad Max PS4 Reviews Hit the Highway
Wasteland or waste of space?
Mad Max has been in development so long that God of War II director Cory Barlog joined developer Avalanche Studios after the completion of the aforementioned PlayStation 2 sequel to work on it. He's since held various other roles in the industry, and not too long ago returned to Sony Santa Monica to work on some kind of...
News Rev Your Engines for Mad Max's Exclusive PS4 Content
Actually, don't bother
Mad Max – a game which has the dubious honor of launching at exactly the same time as a new title in the Metal Gear Solid franchise – hits store shelves very soon, so Sony has released a brand new trailer showing off the exclusive content its super machine will be receiving. To be honest, it's pretty underwhelming: you'll...

D'oh
Anyone else here a fan of The Simpsons games? Whether it's Konami's classic arcade game, Virtual Springfield, or even The Simpsons Wrestling, we've always had a soft spot for interactive adaptations of Matt Groening's colourful universe. Sadly, ever since the release of EA's decidedly decent The Simpsons Game, the American family have been...

Fatality
NetherRealm Studios has ripped the head off the PlayStation 3 version of Mortal Kombat X, which was set to release this year.

Raking in the coin
According to CD Projekt Red's latest financial report, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt sold through more than 6 million units in its first six weeks on the market. Perhaps an expected result for a title that's received such high praise and a solid marketing campaign, but it's a great statistic for a bloody good game regardless. The...
News The Witcher 3 Developer Wishes Free DLC Was The Industry Standard
We concur
CD Projekt Red's undoubtedly been clever with its post-release strategy for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

Review Gauntlet: Slayer Edition (PS4)
On target
Gauntlet: Slayer Edition is the ultimate Gauntlet game.

Like many games of old, Gauntlet: Slayer...

Finally see the sandbox game in action
For a game that's coming out in just over two weeks, it's, er, mad that we haven't seen more of Mad Max.

Gamescom 2015 Mad Max Gets Philosophical in Fresh PS4 Trailer
Wasteland wanderer
Mad Max is about more than flying fists and exploding vehicles – who knew?

The clip's supposed to offer a brief glimpse at the various outposts that the protagonist...

Superhero selfies
Bruce Wayne's no Peter Parker, but Batman: Arkham Knight's rain-slicked interpretation of Gotham City is just too darn pretty to ignore.

It's behind you
Spoiler alert: This article contains references to the conclusion of Batman: Arkham Knight. If you haven't finished the game yet, we'd recommend coming back to this article at a later date.
