Two major UK retailers have had to change plans after struggling to meet demand for the PlayStation 5’s launch this morning. It was already confirmed previously that all PlayStation 5 sales on launch day would be online only, but as reported by Eurogamer, UK retailer Game already had to put its planned 9am launch sales on hold, telling its followers via Twitter that they were “really sorry and we are hoping that we will go live later today....

A three-year study into the impact of video game loot boxes on young people has concluded that such mechanics cause “financial and emotional harm” to teenagers and children. The report, published by Newcastle and Loughborough Universities, tracked the gaming habits of 42 families with children aged between five and 17, and interviewed another 30 parents, carers and video game designers. In short, the study found children struggled to track spending in video games where “highly alluring” digital items were advertised to them using techniques borrowed from regulated gambling....

Techland’s Dying Light has secured a second week at No.1 in the UK Video Game Chart, with its total sales now eclipsing that of Sony’s The Order: 1886 and 2K’s Evolve. The game’s physical success is perhaps surprising given its problematic launch which saw the retail version arriving one month after the game was available on digital channels. GTA 5 takes second in this week’s chart, followed by FIFA 15, COD Advanced Warfare and Dragon Ball Xenoverse....

he Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has held on to the top spot of the UK Video Games All-Formats Chart for a third week in a row. With no new releases to compete with GTA 5 bounces back one position to No.2, as does FIFA 15, climbing one place to No.3. Sales of last week’s big release Splatoon fell 50 per cent, however, dropping two positions to No.4. Battlefield Hardline and Project CARS both climb one position each, finishing at No....

This review contains spoilers. At the end of series three, Ben Elton’s Upstart Crow went beyond its stock-in-trade gags to depict a key event in Shakespeare’s life: the death of his eleven-year-old son. It was a jarring—but, from Blackadder Goes Fourth’s co-writer, not unprecedented—shift in tone. Next to Elizabethan sound-alike gags about puffling pants and bollingbrooks, we watched a family grieve the saddest loss. The death left Upstart Crow in an unusual starting point for this festive comedy special....

While the debut season of Valorant’s anticipated franchised league is yet to kick off, the Tier 2 scene is already underway and producing some memorable moments. That includes the climax of the North American Last Chance Qualifier for Challengers Split, which concluded over the weekend and saw two teams make the cut: Squirtle Squad, and OREsports. It’s the latter of those two, in particular, that is causing a buzz on Twitter today as pro player Jonaaa6 shared the round-winning moment that secured the team’s qualification, and it’s absolutely mad....

Valve Software has announced a new game and sadly it’s not the announcement of Half Life 3 that you may have been hoping for. Revealed in a pretty vague trailer, Artifact: The Dota Card Game is a collectible card game spin-off for the quite popular Dota 2. It will be released sometime in 2018, but being Valve release dates mean nothing. Artifact is based on Dota 2 and involves a selection of characters from Valve’s stupidly successful game....

For as long as the Avengers have been around, the heroes and fans alike have debated over who the strongest Avenger actually is. Most people consider Thor or The Hulk when asking themselves who the toughest hero is and viewers were even given a chance to see these two powerful giants duke it out on screen during Thor: Ragnarok to put the question to rest once and for all. Recently, however, Wanda Maximoff has taken the title of strongest Avenger and put all the other heroes to shame with her incredible power....

War of the Visions gets a bit of a bad rep in the mobile gacha games scene, and honestly, that’s fair. The game is known for being grindy as hell, whether it’s getting Shards to max out your units, or getting enough resources and recipes to craft a single piece of gear. It certainly doesn’t help that the game demands that you leave your phone, tablet, or emulator running for hours on end just so you can farm....

Doomguy would be proud! The fun video, below, starts off looking back at the ’90s and retro Warhammer 40,000 miniatures through a pair of nostalgia goggles before ripping into some quickfire gameplay:...

WarioWare: Get it Together! is a new game in the WarioWare series, and it’s out on Switch on September 10. It was revealed during the Nintendo Direct showcase at this year’s E3. And it seemed to suggest that Wario was the head of his own company—in what looked like California. It seems as though this mysterious antihero’s life lies beyond our reckoning. Check out the trailer: The description reads: “WAHAHAHA! Lightning-fast microgame mayhem comes to Nintendo Switch in WarioWare: Get it Together!...

Sure, Mordhau and Chivalry 2 might be cool games, but what about people not interested in careful control of the blade? What if some folks just want medieval-ish siege-like combat that also features wizards? Then the prayers of those have gone answered, as Warlander is your free-to-play, third-person mass slasher-and-magicker. Like with the other greats of the genre, two very arbitrary sides exist in the game. I assume the blue guys are good and the orange guys are bad....
