A long, long overdue overhaul to Metacritic's extremely lax moderation is finally being worked on following yet another round of "abusive and disrespectful" user reviews.

I will say upfront that this story will contain spoilers for the recently released Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores DLC. I would strongly advise you to stop reading right now if you do not want to have anything about that game spoiled...

Get ready for all your old favorite sites to have a lot of auto-playing video ads!

Fandom, the company that calls itself "the world's largest fan platform," just announced that they have acquired a lot of gaming and entertainment brands from Red Ventures. The sites and services they just acquired include: GameSpot, Metacritic, TV Guide, GameFAQs, Giant Bomb, Cord Cutters News, and Comic Vine.

Tomorrow is a massive release day for games. For some reason, publishers and developers decided that people who play video games would need a lot of joy in their lives come February 15. I simply cannot fathom why.

The reviews for the new PlayStation 4 God of War started to come out early this morning and hot damn, it looks like it's a pretty good game.

Let's see what some outlets that aren't...

Nintendo revealed that the recently released Switch hit 80,000 units sold throughout the UK in its opening weekend. To put that into perspective, that figure is double the number of Wii U consoles that were sold during its opening weekend in 2013. Sadly, it fell well short of the 113,000 figure mark that the Nintendo 3DS sold during its debut weekend. It also didn't come close to hitting the 150,000 units sold by the Xbox One launch or the 250,000 hit by the PlayStation 4 launch. The...
