Over the years, video games have given birth to plenty of these moments outside of the confines of a digital download or a physical disc. Here’s a bunch of them…if you dare to read them.

Battlefield V is retaining the vignette styled single-player that first featured in Battlefield 1, and its modes are looking far more varied this time around.

Welcome to Critical Hit’s 31 days of horror! It’s the month of spookiness, of frights and jump scares and we’re ready to celebrate! Over the decades, pop culture has managed to create eerie atmospheres, scenes of terror that can’t be contained within a single genre and we’re looking back at the films, video games and the movie maniac moments that had us squirming in our seats.

I do hope there’s more to come from FIFA in the years ahead, but for now it’s more of a fun-to-have rather than a must-have for Nintendo Switch owners.

FIFA 19 shows that sometimes it’s not all about reinventing the game so much as it is about making improvements to what already works so well. FIFA 19 is probably the best FIFA to date, but EA will not want to repeat the tweak-performance next time out.

Bioware has begun sharing more details on the mechanised survival system suits of Anthem, and how each suit ties into a particular RPG archetype. Here’s a look at what makes each Javelin special.

The Belgian authorities have concluded that loot boxes in games are akin to gambling, and have made their inclusion in games illegal. EA has refused to remove FIFA's lootboxes, and could be under criminal investigation in the country as a result.

The Battlefield V delay, along with reports that the game isn’t pre-ordering well have already hit EA’s bottom line. Thanks to reports that Battlefield V pre-orders are tracking 85% below Call of Duty: Black Ops 4’s and lower than previous Battlefield games, EA’s stocks are down 9%. EA would like to remind you that their little financial blip hardly matters. Why? Because they have FIFA to prop them up as always. FIFA 19 is out at the end of this month, and it will sell like proverbial hotcakes, because it’s FIFA.
