Another day, another game getting the TV treatment, but this one's a biggie: Dungeons & Dragons owner Wizards of the Coast this week revealed Craig Mazin, showrunner on HBO's divisive The Last of Us television adaptation, is turning his hand to Baldur's Gate, and specifically continuing the story of Baldur's Gate 3 on TV. Developer Larian's fantasy RPG is, of course, a hugely beloved game, and responses to the news have been swift, strong, and not entirely positive. Feelings have also been float...

Perhaps you recently glanced at the internet and saw the fuss about Iron Lung, the indie horror movie that got off to a rip-roaring start last week, elbowing Melania aside to take the number two spot in the US box office charts, thwarted only by horror movie king Sam Raimi's Send Help. Iron Lung's success can almost certainly be attributed to its links with mega-popular YouTuber Mark Edward Fischbach - better known as Markiplier - for whom the project's clearly been a labour of love, given he no...

For all of their faults (the list may be endless), the interesting thing about live service games, when done well anyway, is the way they can change from day to day. There's an actual living quality to them that, even if I'll always prefer them, a singleplayer game can't capture as well. One such game that can change quite drastically is Arc Raiders, with its varying map conditions and events, swapping in and out at the whims of its developers. This rotation isn't something universally loved, bu...

Last month, Ubisoft pretty unceremoniously cancelled a bunch of games, the most notable of the bunch being that long gestating Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake. This came as part of a major restructuring at the company, putting up to 200 jobs at their Paris HQ at risk, ultimately leading to a call for an international strike, and the firing of one Assassin's Creed designer. It's all a concerning mess, and now the creator of Prince of Persia and lead designer on the original Sands of Ti...

According to the civil subpoena seen by WSJ, the Justice Department is looking into any "exclusionary conduct on the part of Netflix that would reasonably appear capable of entrenching marke...

In a few months time we'll be approaching the anniversary of Square Enix realising that actually, their commitment to releasing certain games only on particular platforms isn't that good for them after all.

Perhaps they're finally making smart choices! And then last year, instead of finally show...
