Physint Could Be Xbox's Biggest Gamble Yet, and Piles the Pressure on Hideo Kojima (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This is an IGN opinion piece from Simon Cardy, who is always happy to see creators like Hideo Kojima being allowed to push video games forward with new ideas, wherever their home may be. Microsoft’s hijacking of Hideo Kojima’s Physint is without a doubt the company’s biggest PR win in a year of disastrous news. But this short-term victory could transform into something more difficult, because Physint could well turn out to be one of Xbox’s riskiest ever gambles. There are reasons to be confident
Marvel’s Wolverine is Okay, But Stands in the Shadow of Insomniac’s Spider-Man Series — IGN Review (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’ve just spilled enough blood to fill four Olympic-sized swimming pools. Thousands are now dead thanks to the adamantium claws given to me by Insomniac Games. Marvel’s Wolverine certainly doesn’t skimp when it comes to violence, and gives you plenty of opportunities to enact it with style. But it takes more than blood to get my heart pumping, and it’s in Logan’s surprisingly nuanced tale of self-acceptance that I felt most connected to this latest portrayal of the most famous of the X-Men.

'All Hell Broke Loose' — Malibu Sinkhole Threatens to Swallow Hollywood Star Nicolas Cage's House (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A large sinkhole has opened up in the Californian city of Malibu, and is threatening to swallow up the home of Hollywood star Nicolas Cage. The driveway at the front of the property, which reportedly belongs to the National Treasure, Con Air, and Face/Off star, has already fallen below ground. This is due to the approximately 30-by-30-foot sinkhole having emerged after heavy rainfall in the area. On Monday, the hole had been estimated at around 8ft in size, with residents living nearby telling L
No Law Looks Like the Deus Ex Successor I’ve Been Waiting For - An Immersive Sim Shooter in a Cyberpunk City (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We stepped into Port Desire’s bustling street market to conduct a simple, albeit grisly experiment: How many people can we make explode into bits of blood and pulp with a single gunshot? To achieve this messy masterpiece, we walked slowly into the middle of a tightly packed crowd to find the optimal spot for maximum impact. A stasis grenade was then thrown into the mix, suspending every unfortunate body within its blast radius in a vibrating, temporal state. Such is the kinetic energy built up b
30 Open World Game Masterpieces You Need to Play - IGN30 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Open-world games. Arguably, no other genre has defined modern gaming more than the expansive, experimental, and exciting places this one has taken us to. Over the past 30 years, we’ve gone from grey, empty streets begging to be torn up in a blocky muscle car to glorious, colourful fantasy lands full of adventure and opportunity. But what are the games that have stood out the most, pushed the form forward, and ultimately led to GTA 6’s moment? As part of IGN 30, I’m going to try to answer that qu
