In June 1893, Lizzie Borden was acquitted at trial for the murder of her father, Andrew, and stepmother, Abby. Borden, ostracised by the affluent residents of Fall River, Massachusetts that she lived among, died age 66 in 1927 but remained the prime suspect. The case scandalised America. There was a grisly murder weapon (a hatchet), the suggestion of incest as a motive (hinted at in local press reports of the time) and whisperings of a lesbian affair between Borden and the family maid, Bridget Sullivan....

Marvel’s Avengers was finally shown to the world only a few days ago. According to developer, the story-focused game allows up to four people to co-op online and play as their favorite heroes.

In an interview with Eurogamer, it was revealed that only one copy of a hero can be played at a time....

It’s May the 4th, which means it’s your annual day of Star Wars celebrations. Generally, the day is paired with fans talking about what they love (and hate) about the franchise.

When the original Metroid released on the NES in 1987, it was a revelation. With its multiple endings and incomparable atmosphere, it was a sophisticated experience for its time. Most notably, of course, it introduced the iconic Samus Aran, one of gaming’s very first female stars (and still one of the greatest). In the following decades, the Metroid franchise has continued to bring us even more priceless titles, consistently keeping that spirit of exploration, intriguing worlds and menacing alien enemies in mind....

One of the best games of 2019 was the Indie game Disco Elysium, and while it has a critical and commercial success following its release, few would have guessed that it would take home more awards than any other title at last night’s Game Awards.

When I was sitting in the crowd during the Xbox press conference, the last person I would expect to have come on stage was Keanu Reeves. CD Projekt RED had already managed to position Cyberpunk 2077 as one of the most anticipated titles of 2020, and they only further solidified its position by having that kind of star power included within its story. That said, Reeves isn’t there simply to make a celebrity guest appearance....

Ever since the pandemic and subsequent lockdown starting last year, all aspects of life have been affected. Many developers have had to have games delayed due to the challenges presented by Covid.
