Microsoft is reportedly considering adding advertisements to its free-to-play games. That’s according to Business Insider, which reports that Xbox is looking to offer advertisment revenue to “developers who make free-to-play” games. “One of the sources speculated Microsoft isn’t currently interested in collecting a cut of ad revenue because it wants to provide more money-making opportunities to developers who make free-to-play games,” the publication said, as transcribed by our sister site, VGC....

Immortality is a new interactive movie from the mind of Sam Barlow and Half Mermaid Productions, but unlike the indie developer’s previous games, you need to search for images in order to find every clip in Immortality, not words. As there’s no limit to how many clips you can find by using this ‘match cut’ feature to search for additional scenes to each of the game’s three movies, there are some clips that will take you longer to unearth than others....

Speaking to Danish website DR in a recent interview (spotted by PC Gamer), in which Mr Abrak said of the project (translated by Google) “We’ve been allowed to create our own digital Bond, which isn’t going to lean on a Bond actor....

With the launch of Overwatch 2 a little over a week away, many players are wondering what this means for the original Overwatch. The upcoming sequel on October 4 will make a lot of changes. Not just with the new free-to-play business model, but the core game itself including a reduction of team size from 6 to 5. But if you’re a fan of the old game – and given its immense popularity, chances are high – we’re afraid it may be bad news....

Tesla is forever one of the most talked-about companies in the world, and it doesn’t seem to be slowing down any time soon. Whether it’s because the CEO is buying one of the largest social media platforms in the world or something as simple as Q3 earnings have been released, Tesla and its shares are ALWAYS in the news. If no news is good news, does that mean Tesla is in trouble?...

The Nintendo Switch is the company’s best idea in years. It’s giving the company mainstream appeal it hasn’t seen since the Wii days, and yet commands a certain respect in the industry. That’s a hard thing to do. Just think of what the other console manufacturers are focusing on right now. Sony is sticking with highly-acclaimed single-player exclusives. Microsoft is all about that Game Pass. Both strategies seem focused on solidifying ties with hardcore gamers, with kids and casuals apparently lost to mobile games....

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2’s Campaign mode is in early access right now, giving fans an early look at the return to a modern setting. While there isn’t much else to do in MW2 due to the full game not releasing until Oct. 28, fans have had plenty of time to uncover hidden secrets and mess around with the game’s settings to get a jump on peak performance. One setting that’s been highly sought out is Ray Tracing, and in case you’ve missed it, here’s what you need to know about if Ray Tracing is in MW2’s Campaign....

Who would have thought that a solo movie focusing on the Joker without a Batman in sight could look so compelling? Yet here we are with the first trailer for Todd Phillips’ Joker, a movie that exists somehere off to the side of the DCEU, and starring Joaquin Phoenix (not Jared Leto) as the Clown Prince of Crime. It’s not a superhero movie, it’s our first genuine supervillain movie, and it’s unlike anything we normally associate with comic book blockbusters....

We all love colorful 3D adventures and shooting things with bows. Oh, we don’t all love those things? Okay, that’s fair. Well, for the those of us that do fit firmly in that camp, I’ve got a bit of sad news. Kena: Bridge of Spirits has been delayed into September. It was supposed to come out in late August, but the gaming gods have seen fit to cruelly rip it from our grasps, forcing us to wait a miserable few extra weeks to play the game....

These days, grey-market digital key distributors like G2A, Kinguin, and their ilk are about as well-tolerated as Myles Garrett in a Pittsburgh bar, and there’s little reason to argue in their defense. With reports concerning their potentially-illicit business schemes popping up on a regular basis, it’s hard to see these third-party retailers as anything other than the digital version of a back alley trenchcoat-wearing fake watch salesman. Yet, scummy though they almost certainly are, they may just have a place in today’s gaming market....

Nintendo has announced a release date for upcoming party game Kirby’s Dream Buffet, alongside a new trailer. The game sees our favourite pink puff shrunk down on a giant dinner table of his dreams.

Winners get strawberries, and of course the more you eat, thebetter your chances of winning....

A new game that’s sure to make you squirm in your seat has hit Kickstarter. Lamentum, a seemingly Lovecraftian survival horror title, has been in development by Obscure Tales for over a year. The project is asking for around $17,000, with stretch goals currently reaching to around $34,000. What initially drew me to this game was its fantastic art style. Lamentum has a gothic environment created in a pixelated style and seems a very gory looking experience overall....
