The story continues, as Outworld began plotting to merge with Earthrealm, using Mortal Kombat, deceit and a little bit of trickery along the way.

It’s Destiny all over again, which is a pity because Anthem has some terrific potential to craft a new Arthurian legend for itself using its themes of Freelancers in shiny mechanised armour riding out to save the day. There is some very well deserved criticism towards Anthem’s storyline, especially when you factor in the narrative that could have been.

Days Gone is Sons of Anarchy meets The Walking Dead, and I don’t want to live in a world where that crossover isn’t a good idea. In fact, that TV inspiration extends deep into the DNA of Days Gone, as Deacon’s various storylines had the potential to make for a messy narrative. Developer Sony Bend’s solution? Take a page out of the Netflix book, and learn how to chill with a story that can be recapped whenever you hit the pause screen.

Just like Chinese new year, a new year for Hearthstone doesn’t kick off in ye olde January. Instead, Blizzard’s free to play card game usually starts anew in March. As the Year of the Raven winds down to a close, it’s time to look ahead at the future and what’s to come in Hearthstone, beginning with the next big seasonal shift within that game as a fresh new Standard Format kicks off. So what’s in store for the Year of the Dragon? Plenty!

You asked, we listened and Geoff managed to sucker at least one person into helping me out with this post and being brave enough to not just venture into the comments section, but actually set up shop there. Thanks Hammer! With that labour of love being assigned to someone else, I’ve got no issue with bringing back the good, the bad and the ugly of the week, albeit with a few tweaks here and there.

A private beta for The Division 2 kicks off on February 7 and runs until February 10, if you happen to have pre-ordered the game. If you haven’t, because you’re a 2010s video gamer who has been through all of this before maaaaaaaan, you can still stand a chance to hop in to the beta by registering for it. If there’s enough space, that is.

Rage 2! Possibly the best vehicle for Andrew W.K’s music since Jackass convinced me that self-inflicted bodily harm was a great way to have fun. In a night that seemed very very focused on the apocalypse, Rage 2’s take on life after the fall of society may just be the silliest and colourful exploration of a world gone mad.

Bioware wants fans to revel in the story of Anthem, as this latest trailer for the upcoming introduces its world, characters and enemies that players will interact with.
