The antitrust lawsuit against Valve from Wolfire Games got a little spicy this week. To quickly get you up to speed: Wolfire claims that Valve uses its position with Steam to control game prices and muscle out competition.

    The first official benchmarks for the Intel Arc A380 have naturally started to trickle out and the results are not great. These "official" reviews come courtesy of Intel directly via their reviewer's...

    Skull and Bones Actually Received an ESRB Rating

    Ubisoft's high-seas adventure might finally be taking shape.

The game began development in 2013, starting first as a spin-off of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag before becoming its own stand-alone experience.

    This new Direct will focus on third-party partners.

    A new Nintendo Direct will air on Tuesday, June 28. This so-called Nintendo Direct Mini will focus on third-party titles, meaning Nintendo's first-party offerings won't be seen here. That means no Breath of the Wild 2 or whatever new Mario or Metroid the folks at Nintendo might be working on.

    Epic Games Store Implements Unusual Rating System

    You can review games but only when Epic says you can.

    User scores are a real mixed bag. You have people that will fairly rate games based on their honest opinions. These sorts are rather rare. You have users that will rate on an "all or nothing" scale where only the lowest and highest numbers are viable options to them. You have those that will rate a game highly because it's a meme. Then you have those that will participate in review bombing of a title because of a variety...

  • Sonic Creator Confirms Old Rumor - Michael Jackson Composed Music for Sonic the Hedgehog 3

    The decades old rumor/worst kept secret has finally been officially confirmed.

    Sonic the Hedgehog creator Yuji Naka took to Twitter to officially confirm a rumor that has been kicking around for literal decades now: Michael Jackson composed some of the music for the 1994 release of Sonic the Hedgehog 3. It makes a lot more sense now as to why some of the Sonic 3 tracks in the recently released Sonic Origins package had to be changed.
