Since the launch of Fortnite's 10th season last week, one topic has drowned out all others within the community: the introduction of mechs that many frustrated players consider to be massively overpowered. And while Epic has so far remained steadfast against calls to either vault or tone down the new additions, it's now announced it will be making tweaks to their functionality.

I bet you know the feeling, like the game is against you. You're pulling all the wrong cards or rolling all the wrong numbers and you die. It's like the game didn't want you to win and you had no chance - what were you supposed to do? Maybe you were at a boss and now have to start all over again. Maybe you were about to win a tournament and didn't. So sorry - it was just bad luck.

Discord continues to strap on the features, today adding the ability to stream gameplay to your friends. How nice!

A couple of days ago, news outlets reported DayZ's physical release had been refused classification in Australia - despite the game having been out in digital form for five years. The reason for this, according to the Australian Classification Board's listing, was that it was deemed to "depict, express or otherwise deal with matters of sex, drug misuse or addiction, crime, cruelty, violence or revolting or abhorrent phenomena in such a way that they offend against the standards of morality, decency and propriety generally accepted by reasonable adults to the extent that they should not be classified".

It's incredible to chart how far Hello Games has come in just over a decade - even if, geographically speaking, it's really not so far at all. From one corner of Guildford to another, with sprouts from EA's now partly abandoned offices where Sean Murray first began tinkering with what was then known as Skyscraper, via the ramshackle building they shared with a taxi rank down by the banks of the Wey which tragically burst just as No Man's Sky was in the depths of development to the new space the team finds itself now.

Later this month your Guardians can continue their Destiny 2 journeys on whatever platform you see fit, as cross-save launches on 21st August.

In the mid-nineties, when Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter were all the rage, both got short-lived animated shows. Mortal Kombat's, dubbed Defenders of the Realm in the US and, on these shores, simply Mortal Kombat: The Animated Series, lasted just one season before the plug was pulled.

By the time Borderlands 2 VR had made it's way onto the Playstation Store late last year, I was already a couple of trays of mince pies into my Christmas holidays. That meant my last proper piece of VR coverage on the site (aside from my PSVR Games Of The Year list) was a look at the unbelievably dismal, Gungrave VR.

MOBAs are genuinely one of my least favourite video game genres so I was pleasantly surprised when I found myself thoroughly enjoying Megalith; the newest addition to the PSVR's ever expanding library.

I'm absolutely terrified of flying in real life. Even just stepping onto a passenger plane is an ordeal for me so the thought of piloting a jet-propelled fighter plane in real life? Well lets just say I'd have to be wearing the brown flight suit that day...

You know how when you hold up one mirror in front of another one you can see yourself reflected into infinity? Well, A Fisherman's Tale is a bit like that but with added Sou'westers, puppets and talking crustaceans.

Have you ever found yourself staring in slack-jawed amazement at a pane of glass? I'm not talking about that fancy stained glass you might find in churches and cathedrals here, I'm talking normal, everyday glass that's seen a bit of wear and tear. The sort you might see in the windows of a bus perhaps, or a train. You know the type, it's grimy, it's covered in scratches and smudges and subliminally it shouts, "People have been here before!".

Crikey, the Angry Birds franchise is going to be 10 years old this year! How time flies and other assorted bird puns...

Last month a free demo for Eden Tomorrow appeared on the Playstation Store. The first 30 minutes of this sci-fi adventure game were included and after playing it through on stream, I came away with high hopes. It seemed more polished than your average PSVR title and the demo ended on a cliffhanger which (as any good demo should) left me excited to experience what happened next.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for a good penis pun every now and then, but when that's the most interesting thing about your game, you've got a bit of a problem.
