Lord of Hatred Review: Diablo 4 Finally Finds Its Final Form

This is Diablo 4 at its best. I mean it this time. For real.

Returning to the world of Sanctuary for this latest chapter feels like a true homecoming for those of us who have spent hundreds of hours traversing its dark and unforgiving landscapes since the base game launched back in 2023.

    I'm so confused by this thing it's not even funny. EA has announced the Battlefield 4: Showdown Live Europe vs. USA event that will pit two teams of 32 against each other.

    The Showdown will be live streamed through Xbox Live and will "mark the debut of Battlefield 4 Second Assault," which is an expansion for the game that includes four "fan-favorite" maps from Battlefield 3.

    Yes, the Xbox One will get this expansion first.

    DICE 'Should be Slapped' for Battlefield 3 Unlocks

    During an event last night, Lars Gustavsson said that DICE has heard the criticisms of the unlocks system found in Battlefield 3 and hopes to rectify that with Battlefield 4.
    “We shipped Battlefield 3, which we should be slapped for, with probably the worst set ups ever,” Gustavsson said. “As a pilot, you had to fly your plane and only kill other planes with your cannons. You didn’t have any counter-measures; you didn’t have any missiles. And that’s basically for the bes

    Lars Gustavsson told reporters at a recent Battlefield 4 event that a third installment in the Battlefield: Bad Company series will happen, you know, eventually.
    "My feeling is that I would love to do it. For me, when we started the company with 1942, it was really a work of passion," Gustavsson said. "And then we worked our way through the era of different wars, and I loved them all, like my little babies. When it came to Bad Company, it was creative freedom; don't take yourself

    Day 2 of the Battlefield 4 Beta - Share Your Thoughts

    Here we are, on the second day of the Battlefield 4 beta and there is just one thing on my mind: What are your thoughts on the game so far?


    How are you liking "Levolution" that was talked up by DICE and EA? What about the changes made to the kit loadouts? Is it running as smoothly as you would expect it to on your system? What would you like to see added to the beta?

    In general, what are your thoughts on the beta thus far?...

  • How Many Games Did You Complete in 2025?
    by Shawn Zipay
    Make up your own definition of "complete."

    Was 2025 a big year for game completions for you, or were you more of a "stick to one never-ending, live-service game for the entire year" sort of player?

    For this, you can take whatever definition you want as a game "completion." Beat the main story? Earned 100% of the game's achievements? Or simply played enough that you're satisfied with what you accomplished and have no plans to return any time...
    I did not complete any game in 2025
    33.33%

    I completed up to 10 games
