Fallout 76 has had quite the evolution over the years, slowly but steadily going from a "broken mess" to becoming what is essentially seen as 'Fallout Online', complete with proper questlines and wandering friendly NPCs.

"The idea was not just to give the player weapons, but to give them powers". Michael Jackson is no stranger to video games, having famously collaborated with Sega on several projects in the '90s, including arcade and console titles based on his 1988 film Moonwalker. But what you might not know (we certainly didn't) is he almost made another game in the 2000s with the developer behind Enter the Matrix, Shiny Entertainment, which, for better or worse, never saw the light of day.

Texturetown is a Frankenstein's MMO created by remixing Club Penguin, Pirates of the Caribbean Online and other dead MMOs
I've really been getting into videogame collages, lately – projects like Funi Racoon, a verminous cache of Windows 95 desktop materials and Easter Island sculpture, and Water Level/b.l.u.e. EXPLORATION, a "plunderludic" in which Dark Souls, Super Mario 64, and Kingdom Hearts swim through each other. To that short list add Texturetown, "an algorithmically remixed MMO created from assets of now-defunct mid-2000's children's MMOs", devised by LA-based academic Aidan Strong. It's an eerie, dysfuncti

I'm going to start by addressing a game that Sony didn't even deign to mention in last night's PlayStation State of Play broadcast: Grand Theft Auto 6. Except, Sony did sort-of mention it, just in the margins of its showcase. From the very beginning, when it showed off Marvel's Wolverine in a whirlwind of viscera and adamantium and reiterated its 15th September launch, to the final release date of the showcase - 24th September for Control Resonant - you could just about hear a silent klaxon blar
