Gamescom organizers originally intended to hold a hybrid event this year which would have featured both hands-on time with games in real life and streams, but that risky decision was fortunately reworked. "Even though the hybrid concept was very well received by partners, we had to recognize that GamesCom still comes too early for many companies in the industry due to the required planning reliability," Oliver Frese, COO of Koelnmasse, the German trade show organizer, said in a press release.

Some games are lined up for multiple awards, such as the superb Hades, the spectacular Ghost of Tsushima, and my favourite golf game, The Last of Us Part II. This year’s breakout hits also include Fall Guys and Among Us, and there’s nothing sus about that. Here’s the full list of nominees for the show, which will be livestreamed on December 10.

One can only hope that Valve trims the fat off of the last event because, quite frankly, 900 playable demos is just an unnecessary sensory overload.

Following the overwhelmingly successful reception of Half-Life: Alyx, it seems that Valve is a little more confident in its long-dormant franchise.

This (American) Summer, the video game community comes together for a season of breaking news, announcements and in-game events.

All the games on display would have been shown off at the Game Developer’s Conference but due to the event’s cancelation, an online festival should do the ol’ marketing trick.

The E3xodus continues!

What with all the talk of new games and general love for gaming, it’s sometimes easy to forget that The Game Awards are…well, game awards. Having established itself as the Oscars of gaming, the biggest night of the year had plenty of awards to give out across a wide spectrum of genres, categories and overall polish. This year saw the likes of Death Stranding, Disco Elysium and Fortnite all grabbing headlines and while Godfrey Geoff Keighley’s annual shindig may not be as swanky as the Critical Hits Awards show (Quiet guys, my parents are trying to sleep), it was overall pretty good! Here’s who won big at the 2019 Game Awards.
