Tim Sweeney Called Valve 'Assholes' in Email to Gabe Newell, Valve COO Says 'You Mad Bro?'

    Final Stand DLC Delayed for Battlefield 4

    EA announced that the final DLC release for Battlefield 4, Final Stand, has been delayed. The DLC will now be released during EA's third fiscal quarter, which places the release between October and December of this year. The news comes from EA's Q1 2015 earnings call.

    A Look at The Crew PC Beta

    Yesterday, I was fortunate enough to receive a key to play the PC beta for Ubisoft's open-world racing game, The Crew. After a couple of hours of playing, I decided that would be a fine time to record about 15 minutes of gameplay to give just a super general overview of what the game is all about and a few thoughts I had on the game up until that point. There may be more coming that shows off missions and story from the beta, so be sure to keep an eye out for those in the coming days...
