Apple is increasingly focusing on building its own devices and expanding its ecosystem by taking steps towards a more native experience for users and relying less on third-party accessories. While the Cupertino-based tech giant's HomePod and AppleTV have left quite the mark in the smart home category, it generally relies more on outsourcing cameras and other hardware for smart homes. Now, a new report suggests that the company intends to create a fully integrated experience by developing its own smart home accessories. Gurman hints about Apple working on making smart home products like security cameras for a more integrated experience […]

Arkane Studios have had some ups and downs in the past few year, with Deathloop picking up numerous GOTY awards, but Redfall being pretty major disappointment. With that context, people have been wondering what may come next for the studio, and it turns out it’s not what anybody expected. Tonight at The Game Awards it was announced Marvel’s Blade is the next big project from Arkane Lyon. The game will continue on Arkane’s trademark open-ended gameplay, but from a different perspective – this will be a third-person, single-player action-adventure. It will also offer up a bit of a different setting […]
The God of War series typically hasn’t done DLC, with the 2018 God of War reboot never getting anything beyond a New Game+ mode and other minor content updates. Initially, it seemed like the same would be true for God of War Ragnarok, but in recent months rumors have begun to spread that the game will be getting an expansion. Well, today at The Game Awards Sony confirmed Kratos will be returning sooner than expected with God of War Ragnarok: Valhalla, a new free DLC launching -- next week! Based on the brief teaser trailer, it looks like the DLC […]
The Game Awards 2023 is almost here, and it’s sure to deliver a hearty dose of the things the show is known for – speeches, musical numbers, Geoff Keighley awkwardly reading ad copy, and, of course, new trailers and reveals. This year, the show is dropping the “World Premiere” branding for the new trailers and footage shown, but Geoff Keighley actually promises more reveals than usual. The Game Awards 2023 kicks off this evening (December 7) at 4:30pm PT/7:30pm ET/12:30am GMT. You can watch the show on YouTube, Twitch, and other streaming services. In fact, we’ve got the video right […]
We're on the eve of this year's edition of The Game Awards (TGA 2023), and host Geoff Keighley took some time to share a few details in advance. While the ceremony may be named after the prizes for the best games released in any given year, it's also one of the best places for developers and publishers to share new trailers for their upcoming titles. In a recent Q&A streamed on Twitch, Keighley said TGA 2023 has received fewer teasers from the organizers because it will include more game announcements than past editions. We're probably going to tease fewer games […]
Last month The Game Awards officially unveiled its nominations in all categories, with one exception. The “Players’ Voice” award is not only voted on by fans, the nominations are determined by them as well, which provides some interesting insight into what players are really excited by in a given year (or which fanbase is most motivated to stuff the ballot box). Well, the final five nominees for the Players’ Voice award have now been announced, and they’re Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Baldur’s Gate 3, Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, and Genshin Impact. You can […]

An intense debate ignited November 13, when The Game Awards host Geoff Keighley announced the nominees for this year’s trophy ceremony. While some folks were surprised Pikachu face by Starfield’s absence, most people were shook by one particular title ...
What are the first words that come to mind when The Game Awards are mentioned? Well, aside from Doritos and Mountain Dew. “World Premiere,” right? For years, Geoff Keighley’s awards show has somewhat pretentiously referred to any new trailer shown during the show as a World Premiere, with the title card popping up constantly throughout the proceedings. Most people kind of roll their eyes at it, but what would The Game Awards be without the constant World Premiere talk? Well, it seems we’re about to find out. In a recent Twitch Q&A, Geoff Keighley indicated the era of the World […]
Award ceremonies aren’t important, and if we all stopped looking at them, they’d stop existing. Anyway, The Game Awards are coming up next week, December 7, and we’re hearing news about some planned changes for this year’s outing. Will they let women o...

The nominees for The Game Awards 2023 have officially been announced, as you might expect, it’s a very competitive year with nominees being fairly evenly split between a number of top contenders. The two frontrunners, with 8 noms apiece, are Alan Wake 2 and Baldur’s Gate 3. Following close on their heels is Spider-Man 2 with 7 nominations, and Nintendo does better than usual (they’re often unfairly relegated to the “Family” category) with 5 noms for both The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Super Mario Bros. Wonder. Resident Evil 4, Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, and Final Fantasy […]
