GameSpotThe Nintendo Switch version of Aliens: Fireteam Elite is now completely removed from sale and impossible to play for people who bought it. Developer Cold Iron Studios announced earlier this year that Fireteam Elite, a game that runs in the cloud and not locally, would be shut down on August 5, and now that day has come. The game was delisted on the Switch's eShop earlier this year, along with other digital platforms. However, the game remains playable on other platforms in an offline state. Beca
Eurogamer1666: Amsterdam returned to the public eye this year after a protracted 15 year conception that involved legal battles, rewritten concepts, secret publishers, and finally: an actual game. Suffice to say, this is the game Patrice Désilets has wanted to make for a very long time - Désilets being the original creator of Assassin's Creed and more recently the mind behind primate evolution game Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey.

Rock Paper ShotgunI don’t know whose dreams Memoirium warps into action-RPG soulslike levels - it may not even be the player character’s - but whoever they are, they need to lay off the post-10pm Babybels. Besides being filled with chair-wielding thugs and hornfaced monsters, this blocky sleeprealm is lousy with the kind of shattered fantasy geometry that could send an innocent dodgeroller tumbling fatally off a hundred-foot-high-ledge. Also, the ledge is a giant sword. Such was just one of my deaths in Memoirium

GameSpotSpider-Man: Brand New Day just cleared $1.6 billion at the box office, and that has also led to a surge in sales of Marvel's Spider-Man 2.

GameSpotFor big games like GTA 6, discs "don't really make sense for the consumer," but it's something Take-Two would hasn't totally ruled out for the upcoming game, the company's CEO recently said. Speaking to IGN, Strauss Zelnick said more than 90% of Take-Two's sales currently are digital, going on to say people "need to be connected" to play most games today. “So everyone's connected. So it's just a matter of the most efficient way to get the title into people's hands," he said. No discs for GTA 6.

GameSpotAnyone looking to portray Sony's beefiest protagonist, Kratos, in a live-action God of War series would need to be suitably jacked for the role, and actor Ryan Hurst certainly looks like he spent most of the day at the gym. Following a devastating bicep tear injury that forced him to vacate the role, Hurst has posted an image online of just how massive he got to play the stoic god-killer, and that simple selfie looks leagues better than the official God of War TV series promotional image that pr
GameSpotTake-Two's Strauss Zelnick recently said GTA 6's preorder numbers are unprecedented in the gaming industry, and that's part of the reason why the company is not revealing actual numbers. Zelnick said in an interview with Bloomberg that GTA 6 preorders "vastly" surpassed internal expectations, but he's unsure "whether they mean anything." "The massive demand for preorders we’ve seen to date could reflect a pull forward of sales that otherwise would materialize in the fullness of time," he said. Z

Rock Paper ShotgunThis week in PC games: too much horror! And not the kind related to graphics card prices, stinky corporate acquisitions, or the general corrosion of all that is real and good. There are a lot of horror games, I mean. I do like horror games, but I'm easily deadened by them - I need an apple-cheeked platformer or two to reset my gauges, between soul-harrowings. Besides, if the weekly new game round-up skews too hard towards any one genre, the Maw gets acid reflux, and the last time that happened,
EurogamerWhen Hello Games ended its trailer for No Man's Sky's first major update with the words "This is the foundation of things to come", it's doubtful anyone, studio included, could have predicted the game would still be going strong some 10 years later. But as the exploratory space sim celebrates a decade since its original release this week, it's now stronger than ever. It's been an eventful 10 years, seeing the release of over 45 major updates, and so to mark No Man's Sky's huge milestone I chatte
