The first Injustice game — and the fantastic tie-in comic that accompanied it — told a story that pitted Batman and Superman against each other in a battle between heroism and villainy, and how good people can be driven to do horrible things. Injustice 2 isn't really about that, and that's both interesting and at times disappointing.

It shouldn't be much of a surprise that Project Scorpio will be a major drawcard at this year's E3. And we'll no doubt hear more about the raw hardware, all the games it can play at 4K, and how nice HDR makes everything look. But there's one thing I badly want Microsoft to do with Project Scorpio, and it's a lesson they can learn from Sony.

I need a break from open-world games. While I've had a blast with Breath of the Wild, Horizon: Zero Dawn and Ghost Recon: Wildlands, I've been craving something considerably more linear. In a happy coincidence, Electronic Arts's Dead Space 2, one of my favourite games, recently showed up on Xbox One via backward compatibility.

If you've played a lot of Destiny, you know that connectivity issues can be a real bummer. Many of the worst issues are thought to arise from Destiny's decentralised server arrangement, which leapfrogs partial hosting duties between different players' consoles. For Destiny 2, Bungie says they're changing things up.

Yeah, you heard us.

If you like the idea of being able to play from a library of games for as long as you want, without having to stream them online, good news: the Xbox Game Pass is available as of today.

It's like the Call of Duty version of extreme couponing. Last weekend, Infinite Warfare's Double XP weekend allowed many players to stack up bonuses and challenges to snag over a million XP from just one multiplayer match. One enterprising streamer even racked up 2.5 million XP in a single game.

The coolest new feature in Injustice 2 is the ability to play dress-up with DC Comics' iconic heroes and villains. And though they can't possibly be as awesome as my Grape Flash here, we want to see your best custom creations.

Mike already wrote about how cracking Injustice 2's facial animations are, but Netherrealm's latest superhero fighter has got plenty more going on.

After yesterday's big info blowout on Destiny 2, a video game that's sort of like Destiny except with a 2, most fans are probably wondering: What does a lengthy gameplay session really look like? This footage of one of the game's strikes, captured by YouTuber GhostRobo at the Activision event in Los Angeles, will help answer that.

A bug in Injustice 2 is rolling back player progress, making hard-earned character levels seemingly disappear. While Netherrealm works on ensuring the issue stops occurring, WB Games offers a workaround that's been fixing the issue for many players.

Red Dead Redemption released seven years ago today and remains a triumph. The tale of John Marston's failure might be Rockstar's finest story.

Phantom Dust is a 2004 action game that mixes Magic the Gathering deck building and frantic arena brawling. A free remaster was released yesterday for Windows 10 and Xbox One. Heather and Chris collect magic spells and slash their way to a few victories in this archived stream.

Compare the release schedule of 2017 to that of 2007 and one of the biggest differences you'd see is the almost complete disappearance of licensed games for kids. Where once movies and TV shows would see average (at best) cash-ins released on PlayStation and Xbox, today they land on mobile, and are even worse. But there are exceptions.

Medieval fighting game For Honor's second season, Shadow & Might, is available on PS4, Xbox One and PC today. Three months post-release, after some pretty damning technical issues, the game is in good shape and getting some anticipated new content.

The fighting game Injustice: Gods Among Us gave us a world torn apart by conflict between between two of comics' greatest heroes. Now brutal murderer Superman and "I don't want to fight you" Batman are back, joining forces against the most diabolical foe the DC Universe has ever faced — loot boxes.

As the saying I just made up goes, if you can play it, you can speedrun it. This immediately holds true for Arkane Studios' Prey, which has been beaten in just eight minutes and 20 seconds. That seems fast. Warning: video contains spoilers.

This week, Square-Enix announced that it was parting ways with Hitman developers IO Interactive. So why don't we take some time to appreciate one of the best crafted stealth series around?

The makers of the horror game Alan Wake said today that they're pulling the game from Steam and Xbox Live Monday because of a music licensing issue. Although you can keep the game if you own it, you won't be able to buy Alan Wake again as of May 15.
