The Doom multiplayer beta, as you may be aware, begins at 10 pm ET on March 31. The good news is, that’s only two sleeps away! The bad news is that it’s restricted to people who preordered Wolfenstein: The New Order, or purchased it digitally prior to May 26, 2014. Or is it? Here’s a...
I must admit, Paragon is a game I’ve slowly warmed to over time. What started out as a game seemingly too similar to its multitude of genre siblings in my eyes, I’ve since very much enjoyed dipping my toe into its paid Early Access phase that launched earlier this month—something Chris recently explored in his extensive primer.

Hey, deep breath, it...
War never changes, they say, unless of course you move the battlefield 100 kilometers above sea level. If the latest rumours surrounding the next Call of Duty instalment are to be believed, space marks the latest frontier upon which the shooty-bang simulator will be deployed. Industry source Shinobi first made the claim via NeoGaf over the weekend, suggesting...
It’s kinda hard to believe the Oculus Rift is finally shipping this week, but here’s a reality check: EVE Valkyrie has a launch trailer. That’s CCP’s VR dogfighting game, in case you’ve been hibernating for the last two years, and as the video above will demonstrate, it’s very beautiful. As the launch blogpost spells out, those...
