Toxicity Brings Everyone Down, Even the Developers.

Earlier this week, the team responsible for updating and maintaining Overwatch released  a new “Developer Update” video. This wasn’t the typical video game update though. Instead of discussing new features and bug fixes, the video instead focused on the ever-increasing amount of “toxic”  behavior in the community. It turns out that cheating and verbally abusing…

It’s Not a Game. It’s a Service.

It’s finally taken hold, hasn’t it? This notion of video games as a service. It was only a few years ago that many of us were mocking the idea. “Treating games as a service? Like that would ever happen!” we scoffed. “Nobody will support that” we jeered. Yet, here we are. After years of getting…

Fear Effect is Getting a Remake

Another set of Gamescom trailers dropped today. Some were more or less what we were expecting, while others came completely out of left-field. Among the more surprising reveals was a short teaser trailer for Fear Effect, a PS1 classic that is now getting its own crack at the remake treatment.

Too Little, Too Late?

In games, and everything else really, making a good first impression is paramount. Succeed, and good things will follow. Fail and you’re suddenly faced with an uphill battle.

Make the Fear Real

Silence. Nothing but silence and the ever-present, inky darkness. I’m still standing somehow, but I have no idea where I am.
