The company canceled its ambitious Disney Infinity and announced earlier this month that it would be getting out of publishing altogether, instead content to simply license its products off to other companies, a la EA’s Star Wars Battlefront or Square-Enix’s Kingdom Hearts.

“Borderlands” may have established a signature Gearbox style, but “Battleborn” cements it. The visual style, humor and even branching upgrade paths owe so much to the studio’s popular series that I wouldn’t be surprised to learn this was an alternate multiplayer mode that spun off into its own series.

You’re never too old to read a book or watch a good movie … but can you be too old to appreciate the craft of a video game?

The Grim Reaper’s scythe rarely falls upon treasure hunters. The earth collapses beneath their feet, arrows fly from walls, and giant boulders give chase, but these adventurous souls cannot be stopped until they locate an ancient secret.

When Blizzard announced it would be splitting “Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft” into Standard and Wild formats, I fully expected to be a Wild player. After all, I had been playing the game almost every day since it launched on iOS more than two years ago.

Let’s talk about Hardcore Henry, you and me. I trust you’ve seen it by now, so this is a spoiler zone (though there isn’t much to spoil).

EA Sports’ franchises haven’t always had easy transitions to new systems. “Rory McIlroy PGA Tour” debut isn’t as bare as last year’s “NHL 15,” nor as unplayable as “Madden NFL 06” was last generation, but its charms are limited. It does some things well, but they aren’t enough to make it stand out.

With Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End on the cusp of release for PS4 next month, I thought it would be prudent to look back at the series’ arguable pinnacle: the opening sequence of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves.

From its opening cutscene, “Hyper Light Drifter” created a world I immediately wanted to know more about. Titans walk along the landscape, but immediately turn into dilapidated robots before your eyes. The drifter clutches his chest as a violent cough causes him to buckle over.
