Oh dear, after BioWare moves a bunch of its staff to other EA studios, one report says they won’t be able to move back The headcount at BioWare is looking a lot smaller these days. Image credit:BioWare After announcing that BioWare is being downsized, with some staff moved to other studios, a new report says that said staff didn’t know the move would be permanent. Earlier this week, BioWare essentially announced some layoffs without calling them layoffs, the wording particularly obtuse considering seemingly none of Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s main writing team is at the studio anymore ....

PlayStation VR2 review: £530 on PS5 VR might end up being the best money you’ve ever spent The PlayStation virtual reality offering costs about £1k all-in, but the experience is generation defining. I’m once again in awe of VR gaming. In an age where we’ve kind of seen it all before, where a middling game manages to impress with its visuals and new game ideas are seemingly running out, it’s not as easy to be wowed with video games as it used to be....

Pokemon and Neon Genesis Evangelion fans should be very excited for the just announced new Gundam series And so should Jujutsu Kaisen and FLCL fans. Image credit:Studio Khara/ Sunrise/ The Pokemon Company/ Gainax There’s a new Gundam anime on the way, and along with it comes some pretty strong talent from both Pokemon and Neon Genesis Evangelion . We all know that if there was no Gundam, there’d be no Neon Genesis Evangelion, so it feels appropriate then that the just announced Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX (no I don’t know how to pronounce that) would be a collaborative project from the original Gundam studio Sunrise, and Evangelion creator Hideaki Anno’s studio Khara....

Pokemon TCG Pocket Mythical Island Card List Here’s what to expect from Pokemon TCG Pocket’s Mythical Island card set! Image credit:The Pokemon Company/VG247 The Mythical Island set of cards in Pokemon TCG Pocket is the first mini-set players have been exposed to, but being ‘mini’ doesn’t mean that this set is lacking in cards whatsoever.

Prince of Persia The Lost Crown – How not to suck at combat How do you beat a boss in Prince of Persia The Lost Crown? You might need a bit of extra help in combat. Image credit:VG247 Prince of Persia The Lost Crown is quite hard. It certainly isn’t the more casual-focused romp I expected when I first booted up the cartoon-comic reinterpretation of the classic gaming IP. Whether it’s surprisingly challenging platforming segments, smart ability and time-based puzzles, or some boss encounters that give even Hollow Knight battles a run for their money, PoP The Lost Crown is a tricky old game to get to grips with....
