Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 has held on to the top UK All Formats Video Game Chart, now sitting pretty for six weeks straight. This is the longest run at the top since FIFA 15 recorded six weeks back in 2014. With no new releases last week it was just a battle of chart mainstays, with GTA 5 moving up two places into No.2, sending FIFA 16 in the opposite direction into No....

The recent Fortnite black hole event took the world by storm, even gaining attention from the mainstream media and celebrities like Lady Gaga. For the uninitiated, the Fortnite black hole event saw the popular battle royale game taken offline for a couple of days as Epic Games prepared to launch a brand new map for Chapter 2. But with Fortnite down for a couple of days, fans of the battle royale game had to do something to pass the time and it seems that many may have found themselves wandering to the dirtier parts of the Internet....

House House, the developers of the Untitled Goose Game, have committed to pledge a minimum of 1% of all of their income to the Pay the Rent movement, which supports the original inhabitants of the country’s lands. It’s easy to be misled into thinking that colonial violence against indigenous nations by European settlers is a thing centuries in the past, when nothing could be further from the truth. In Australia, indigenous people were only granted the universal right to vote in every federal and state election in 1965, and the government policy of literally stealing aboriginal children from their families to “assimilate them into white society” only ended in 1970....

Evidently, the developers thought the same, as V Rising has just received a new Halloween update and DLC that adds an assortment of new spooky decorative items to the mix....

Today CD Projekt Red announced that the much-awaited next-gen update is coming next month. Despite the fact that we can certainly have a discussion on whether it’s time to stop calling the PS5 & Xbox Series X|S generation of consoles “next-gen” because it hasn’t been “next” for literally two years, the update is coming for free to both sides of the console wars (and to PC) on Dec. 14, which is exactly a month for now....

Macaulay Culkin is now apparently a video game producer, as he’s been named as executive producer on the upcoming 90s-flavoured platformer, ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove. I guess it does make sense when you think about it. Culkin was a 90s child superstar, and ToeJam & Earl is obviously a very 90s video game series. Not only that, but the Home Alone actor is apparently a huge fan of the funky alien duo, and even said he’d rather play ToeJam & Earl than watch the Oscars....
