Nostalgia is a very dangerous thing. As pretentious as it sounds I’ve always prided myself on being able to combat nostalgia, to know that it clouds vision and that my wonderful memories are just that; memories, carefully selected by my own mind which blanks everything else. I pride myself on knowing this, and seeing it…

Star Wars: Battlefront Reveal Trailer Released, Release Date Announced, Plus New Game Details Emerge
The very first trailer for the forthcoming Star Wars: Battlefront has been released into the wild and it features some truly breathtaking graphics. Not surprisingly there doesn’t seem to be any true in-game footage, but what is shown is nevertheless pretty awesome. Most of the trailer takes place on Endor, but toward the end we…
Star Wars: Battlefront’s Awesome Stormtrooper Image Is A Rendered In-Game Asset
Over the past few days EA and DICE have been slowly teasing the image of a Stormtrooper from Star Wars: Battlefront. They’ve been gradually releasing individual tiles which when put together create one large image which you can see above. According to community manager Mathew Everett is an in-game asset rendered for this early reveal….
Battlefield: Hardline’s Last Level Reveals A Game That Never Was
I wasn’t exactly very impressed with Battlefield: Hardline’s singleplayer campaign. The first half was interesting, focusing on relatively down-to-Earth cop-based action, but the second half completely went off the rails, attempting to emulate Call of Duty by somehow fitting in a tank, a bloody stupid elevator scene and a helicopter which inexplicably flies through a…
Gamestop Lists Star Wars: Battlefront As Being Released On December 10th
Let’s just preface this little news piece by saying that I absolutely love the Star Wars: Battlefront games, and any news on the forthcoming, and well earned, sequel gets me excited. Even if EA are involved. The Italalian side of Gamestop have potentially let the release date of Star Wars: Battlefront slip, listing the game…
Battlefield: Hardline Review – Identity Crisis
Battlefield: Hardline doesn’t know what it is. On the one hand it tries to uphold the Battlefield name, a name that has become synonymous with epic multiplayer war. On the other hand it wants to be a police procedural with a hefty dose of action and a cops versus robber multiplayer. It’s almost like developer Visceral had the idea for a police game but couldn’t get the funding to build it, before EA stepped in and demanded a new Battlefield game to meet their quota since DICE were still busy fixing the mess that was Battlefield 4. What we gamers have been left with, then, is a half-baked mixture that can’t live up to the Battlefield name and can’t carve an identity for itself. It’s fun, but it’s not as good as it should be.
Titanfall Sequel Confirmed, And It’ll Be Multiplatform
This is hardly surprising news: Respawn Entertainment are working on a sequel to Titanfall, and it’s going to be multiplatform. Given the success of Titanfall, commercially and critically, absolutely nobody thought Titanfall wouldn’t get a sequel, and furthermore most people were positive it would come to Playstation as well. Still, it’s nice to have official…
Battlefield Hardline System Requirements Announced, Beta Players With 4GB Of Ram Or Less May Have Problems
Ahead of the game’s beta this week the system requirements for Battlefield Hardline have been announced via Origin. Unlike Battlefield 4 you won’t be able to run Hardline on 32-bit systems, yet another not-so-subtle hint that anybody still running on a 32-bit computer needs to seriously consider taking the leap in order to play games….

They followed up with an official announcement via Twitter: May the Force be with you: Star Wars Battlefront will release for Holiday 2015. — Electronic…
