An interview with the president of Square Enix, Yosuke Matsuda, revealed that the publisher is thinking about a potential subscription model for their catalogue.

In video games, space travel is about as dangerous as a trip to the supermarket. A short trip to Mars in a personal jet keeps you safe from harm, with nary a hazard in your way as you jet down to mysterious new planets in the cosmos. Bethesda wants to change that approach somewhat with Starfield, and remind players that space is filled with all manner of galactic danger before you even set foot on a new world.

Twenty years later, and Crash Team Racing is back on the trac, ready to kick some marsupial butt and leave the competition in its dust. Alessandro recently had a chance to take the game for a few laps, and believe it or not…He’s actually good at this game.

On the eve of a new generation of consoles, the biggest names in the industry are keeping their cards close to their chest, focusing on existing games and preparing to wow audiences the year after instead. That doesn’t mean that E3 2019 was a wash. In fact, it still had some great moments and reveals, all of which deserve to be celebrated. Here’s a look at ten of our favourites.

The hack-and-slash RPG with a dedicated cult following will be making its way to the current generation of hardware in a few months and WHOOO BOY am I keen.

With the Switch, Nintendo can reintroduce many of their great but unappreciated franchises to a new audience. It's perhaps why re-releases of games like Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze and Captain Toad's Treasure Tracker have found new life on the console, after being relegated to hardware that hardly captivated mass audiences. It's part of the reason why sequels to established franchises can feel so fresh, and Luigi's Mansion 3 is no exception. There are small refinements here and there, but so far this sequel looks and feels like more of what made the previous two titles so great, and a perfect starting point for those unfamiliar with it.

E3 is still important. It’s still an annual tradition, an event that needs to be kept alive as it creates a buzz that few other conventions can hope to match. In recent years, the show has attempted to grow with the times, opening up its doors and allowing more of the public in so that it can continue to remain relevant. It’s a good start, but more needs to be done.

Crystal Dynamic's Avengers has a tough challenge to overcome. How do you gather some of Marvel's most iconic modern heroes into one game and balance their unique abilities with a cohesive and realistic combat system? How do you have characters like Thor and Black Widow fighting the same enemies without one feeling out of place? Sitting down to watch a 30-minute gameplay demo, these questions raced through my head. And I left with an answer that wasn't exactly satisfying.
