Square Enix seems determined to remaster all of their classic games, it seems. The company announced that the first three games in the Final Fantasy SaGa series are arriving on PC on October 21 to celebrate the series’ 30th anniversary. And unlike its Pixel Remaster games, it appears all three games will release as one cohesive package. This follows news of Final Fantasy IV Pixel Remaster‘s release date, which is dropping on September 8....
Classic PC RTS Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 is now free to download on EA’s Origin service. Not only that but you’ll get the Yuri’s Revenge expansion thrown in too. Sadly the closure of the GameSpy platform in June 2014 means there’s no longer any online multiplayer. Even without multiplayer Red Alert 2 has got to be worth the round sum of nothing. Grab the game now as it will only be free for a limited time....
We all remember where we were when EA announced the abysmal looking Command & Conquer: Rivals during E3 this year. The company — known well for squandering the potential of popular franchises and developers — provided another poke to the eye. Fans of the series were dismayed by the mobile app. It appeared stripped of the intelligent strategy and campy personality so beloved by many. We were quite vocal with our opinion....

THQ Nordic has never been afraid of experimenting with the Darksiders franchise. Who could forget the transition from Darksiders II‘s swift combat and Zelda-inspired dungeons to Darksiders III‘s slower, Dark Souls-esque boss battles? (I wish I could). Darksiders Genesis is no different, propelling the series into the action RPG genre with its isometric camera angle, emphasis on ranged combat, and focus on co-op gameplay. Despite the differences in presentation, Genesis is still unapologetically a Darksiders title, featuring the same satisfying combat, lore-rich world, and soul-hoarding of its predecessors....

The gaming community was devastated back in June this year when it learned that popular YouTuber Desmond “Etika” Amofah had died by suicide.

Yesterday Google announced the upcoming shutdown of its Stadia service. The Stadia’s failure isn’t too surprising in the grand scheme of things, but the way in which Google has handled it has apparently caught everyone off guard. As the news spreads, we are finding out that neither Stadia employees nor Stadia game developers had any idea that the shutdown was coming. Developer Olde Skuul announced it had a game in development just hours after Stadia’s closure was confirmed....
