Bioware has been teasing us with the knowledge that the next Mass Effect is playable, stating that it's "fresh but recognizable". We can't wait to find out more.

Just a few days after launching on Steam Early Access, DayZ has already taken a staggering amount of money, with around quarter of a million survivors already joining the alpha.

This one passed us by at first, but a new Star Wars game has been announced recently and that is noteworthy. Star Wars: Attack Squadrons is accepting beta applications now, if you fancy some space-based dogfighting, which we do.

The eagerly anticipated expansion, Diablo III: Reaper of Souls, just got a release date and a price.

There's some new pics from the Xbox One version of Watch Dogs. Warhammer Online has been officially closed down. Announced yesterday, out at the very of the year, Dr. Luigi is coming soon to Wii U. And Max: The Curse of Brotherhood got a release date, and it's kinda soon.

The last of the significant Xbox One launch titles got a score today. Sadly, it's not a good one, as we had troubles Kinecting with Fighter Within. Another review also landed on the site today, this one for the Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag expansion, Freedom Cry. Well worth a read if you're considering expanding your piratical experience with the new content.
