I think it’s safe to say that Ghost Recon: Breakpoint is not, as it stands, a very good game. The game was savaged by critics, who found it both janky and generic – which is never a good combination. One f the things I appreciate most about Ubisoft though is that they’re willing to stand by their games, making even the most middling ones significantly better. While I’m not sure it’s possible to polish a turd to a sheen, Ubisoft is going to try anyway. They’ve outlined the big changes coming to Breakpoint as they do their best to mould into something worth playing.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare may have a gripping mission featuring a stretch of desert road that you fight to reclaim, but Russian players aren't exactly happy with history being rewritten in this stage.

When Luigi and pals – Mario, Princess Peach and a trio of Toads – are invited to a shiny, grandiose hotel, it seems a bit of respite from the daily duties of jumping on the heads of goombas, breaking bricks and saving princesses. It probably also gives the Italian labourers a bit of time away from the vocation that away from the plumbing that’s listed in their job descriptions, but we never actually see them do.

This week sees a new mode introduced in estiny 2's Crucible: Momentum Control. It’s a game where the kills are quicker, the respawns just as fast and weapons play a larger role than ever before thanks to their ability to eviscerate being given a massive upgrade.

The mad lads did it. They actually did. Look, CD Projekt Red is known for being the gang of developers that charts their own course in an industry often bogged down by greedy corporations and insidious monetisation. CDPR have made a name for themselves by making some extraordinarily good games, with bundles of extra content, at a rate and price …

Death Stranding, the first game from Hideo Kojima after his separation from Konami, is coming to the PlayStation 4 in less than two weeks. The game’s a curiosity, one that Kojima says is a whole new genre. While we’re under strict embargo and can’t say anything at all about the game, I can say that love him or hate him, Kojima’s games are always an event. He may perhaps be a little up his own behind sometimes, but the man certainly makes interesting games.

Folks, we have made it. Through the fire and flames (Which is a kickass Dragonforce track by the way), through the controversies and the glitches. You’ve weathered disappointments and lukewarm launches, you sat through the hype and the triumphs of a year that was nothing short of memorable. And here we are, brothers in video game arms who are ready for one last push. One final dab of that interactive hot sauce that we simply cannot get enough of.

Players who have paid extra money to have access to a range of special features in Bethesda’s post-apocalyptic MMO are reportedly undergoing targeted griefing.
