Where would E3 be without Bethesda apologising for something? All jokes aside they’re back again with a raft of new titles to show. I’m keeping this one short and sweet but jotted down a few points: Fallout 76 is getting a Battle Royale mode! If you’re throwing 50 […]
This year’s E3 was going to be an interesting one for Microsoft with a lot of expectations following from their announcements last year of acquired studios and upcoming products and services. How it played out was much of the things people expected (to a degree) bookended the overall […]
First cab off the rank for my E3 binge watching is EA with their EA Play event. Being first means that there’s a lot less noise (apart from rumours) that can impact what they’re selling but also risks them being shown in a lesser light if they compare […]
