Shawn Layden, Head of Sony Worldwide Studios, proudly boasted they're the only ones that can create AAA games in three different regions.

The Indie Game Website writes: "Oh my word, July is so hot this year in our infamously wet and windy Britain. Our houses arent built for it, our workplaces arent built for it, and like hell if my pasty British body is built for it. For the good of your health and sanity theres only one thing to do, and thats to take refuge indoors eating ice cream with three desktop fans blasting air in your face while you play video games. Here are some of the marvellous indie games on offer to tide you over until the great outdoors is back to its typical tepid cloudiness."

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege‘s most beloved and paradoxically least played operator is currently profiting from a bug that finally makes him a viable pick. Tachanka is one of the game's Russian Defense operators, and his unique equipment is a mounted machine gun with a front-facing shield. Such an emplacement may sound invaluable in a ...]

Pokémon GO is holding one of those awesome community day events this weekend, and our favourite Squirtle will take the limelight. Not just any old Squirtle though –...

These 10 episodes are why Rick and Morty has become one of the best comedies on TV.

It is a truth universally acknowledged by every patriotic English man, woman, and child, that football’s coming home. And forget grassroots support or a new management regime - the true key to England’s World Cup 2018 success (or lack of abject failure, if you prefer) is Fortnite.
Ok, that might be a slight reach, but the team’s captain, Harry Kane, says that Epic’s battle royale is as important part of the squad’s downtime. In an interview with the BBC’s Gabby Logan, Kane said that “playing Fortnite” was what he and the team did when they’re not worrying about scoring goals.
Not many of the games on our list of the best have the backing of international sports stars.
In the interview (via - you can watch highlights of the match it appeared in ) Kane continued “as silly as it sounds, playing Fortnite passes the time quite well. There are quite a few of us playing a few games of that.” Kane, who is currently topping the goal-scoring tables at the tournament, says that he’s “probably” playing more Fortnite at the tournament than he does when he’s playing football at home in England.
The battle royale’s popularity among the England team is well documented. After scoring against Panama during the group stages of the tournament, Jesse Lingard performed the popular ‘Shoot’ dance, which appears as a dance in the game. Kane’s Tottenham and England teammate, Dele Alli, has regularly performed similar dances after scoring goals in the Premier League.

Fortnite’s Playground Mode has returned. The Limited Time game mode, which allows players to build and explore without the threat of imminent death around every corner, went live last night.

The limited time mode was initially scheduled to release last week. Mere hours after its initial launch, however, matchmaking issues meant that Epic had to close the mode, before eventually pulling it from the game. The matchmaking issues were fixed relatively quickly, but further fixes meant that the release of the mode was delayed by nearly a week - the developer tweeted early this morning to confirm that Playground Mode is now available for all players.

Fortnite sits comfortably on our list of the .
In a post on , a spokesperson from Epic confirmed that the company had “completed deploying our servers containing the improved matchmaking changes. All players can now join in on the fun in the Playground LTM.” To access the mode without any further issues, Epic says you’ll need to change your matchmaking region to “auto select,” and check that you’re on your preferred region.
Players have already been building some impressive creations in the mode. The highlight of those, for me at least, is a jousting rig. Using trolleys (and a hell of a lot of wood) two players scoot towards each other down two enormous ramps. As they meet in the middle, one of them pulls a shotgun and kills their friend. But don’t worry, Playground allows for near-instant respawns.

While we're getting excited for , it's a great time to take a look at a little bit of news regarding Nintendo's first mobile outing, Super Mario Run. You may not think it did crazily well, but recent reports say it's just surpassed $60 million in almost two years which isn't a figure to sniff at. 
If you've not been on the internet for the past couple of years, Super Mario Run is Ninty's first whack at mobile gaming. Playing as Mario you zip through a number of courses in this autorunner and can complete it with only one hand. 
When it launched it landed with a bang, but dropped to a fizzle and wheeze as players moved on. It's Ninty's only premium mobile title and though it launched on the App Store worldwide in December 2016 (and other areas before that) it took a little while to come to Google Play.
