Choices in video games, rarely pay off. The consequences attached to going against the grain usually feel lacklustre and insubstantial. Where’s the payoff? I don’t want a character who looks slightly more demonic than usual, I want a reflection of the compromises that I’ve made to be reflected in short-term gains that I’ve gone for. It’s an idea that Dying Light 2 developer Techland is examining deeply with their upcoming undead parkour sequel, as they blend a story of choices with gameplay that complements the decisions that you’ve made.

The selection this year for the best games of E3 were definitely more rounded out than Solid Snake’s butt in Super Smash Bros. Out of all the games that were eligible for the top honour, it was a game that was already twenty years old that came out swinging and emerged victorious.

Which games won the biggest kudos and nominations for the Game Critics E3 2018 awards? Plenty!

Will 2018 end with Activision making enough cash to purchase the moon when Call of Duty Black Ops IIII launches? Probably! This year however, Call of Duty is changing its approach, ditching the single-player and doubling down on multiplayer.

LEGO DC Super-Villains isn't breaking the LEGO formula by any stretch of the imagination, but it is sticking to what it does best: Colourful levels, characters and puzzles aplenty.

At E3 2018, I got the chance to briefly grill game designer Matt Scronce and senior producer Yale Miller for some answers regarding Blackout, and what exactly Treyarch is aiming for with this ambitious entry into a highly competitive genre with this year's edition of Call of Duty Black Ops IIII.

A darker story, an emphasis on fun over balance and an honest effort to get players reinvested in the hobby of Destiny, Bungie is going for broke with its most ambitious slice of content yet in Destiny 2:Forsaken. While there’s still a lot that needs t be revealed and explored once it launches, design lead Lars Bakken still had plenty to tell me at E3 last week about the massive changes on the horizon.

With a name that doesn’t quite roll of the tongue, Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden is that game, and it’s one of the most intriguing games I got to play at E3 this year. Set in a post-apocalyptic future where humans (or at least, humans as we know them) have been wiped out, replaced with mutants and robots. Cities lie abandoned, streets, building and bridges crumbled from years of disrepair, and nature’s started reclaiming the surface, leaving it an overgrown nest of roots and vines intertwining with decrepit and dilapidated remnants of shacks and houses.
