Redfall is Arkane's Worst Game Ever

It's also the worst "AAA" developed title in recent memory.

It was a struggle to finish Redfall. It was an absolute struggle thanks to performance issues, technical deficiencies, crashes, broken A.I., and uninspired quest design. It was the antithesis of fun and I pushed myself to complete the game out of pure spite.

Prior to playing Redfall, I saw Arkane as a studio that could do no wrong when it comes to their output. Dark Messiah of Might and Magic in 2006...

UK Blocks Microsoft Activision Merger

The CMA claims the deal would harm cloud gaming.

Cloud gaming. Cloud gaming is the reason why the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) in the UK voted to block the $69 billion deal that would see Microsoft taking over Activision Blizzard.

The decision didn't come down to concerns over Call of Duty exclusivity or anything that would make some measure of sense. No, it came down to the CMA being concerned that the deal would "undermine new and innovative" competition...

    Street Fighter 6 Announced

    It wasn't Mega Man Legends 3 after all.

    Last week, Capcom tossed up a mysterious countdown timer that was set to reveal something early this morning. Well, the mystery is no more as Capcom announced their new title. Sadly, while it isn't Mega Man Legends 3 like we all wanted, it is instead Street Fighter 6.

    Though Capcom teased everyone with a week-long countdown, the payoff just wasn't all that grand. Today, the studio released only a very brief teaser announcement for...
