Shortly following the departures of respective longtime hosts Adam Sessler and Kevin Pereira, X-Play and Attack of the Show – programs seen as the final vanguards of gaming and technology coverage on the network - have now been cancelled.

While it was originally thought that the next Alan Wake adventure, the one that is definitely not Alan Wake 2, was to be subtitled Night Springs, a German classification board has outed the XBLA game as being titled Alan Wake’s American Nightmare.

The samurai life can now be experienced by all with the release of the highly anticipated Ghost of Tsushima. Now we find that, despite a warrior’s patience and preparation (for some of us a level of patience going back to E3 2018), the way of the sword may not be as easy as simply picking up the controller and wildly swinging. Ghost of Tsushima calls for a fair level of deliberation when it comes to death-bringing....
