The Mafia series is arguably one of 2K's lesser appreciated franchises. First released in 2002, the series has seen three entries so far. Though the first two games are held in high regard, the third entry was considered a step down. According to Korean and Taiwanese games rating boards, fans …

Since the release of Bioshock Infinite, the franchise has been dormant, sitting in 2K's back-catalogue. That could be set to change in the future, as reports this week indicate that a new game is currently in the works, under a new team. The information is thin, but in a recent …

Mafia III had a rough launch back in October 2016, the game didn't quite live up graphically and performance on PC at launch was abysmal, with a 30 frames per second cap right out of the gate. Now just over a year from launch, the studio behind the game has …

XCOM 2 is a game that assumes you failed to stop the alien menace in the original. It assumes you failed so hard that you didn't even put up much of a defence, but that doesn't matter, as you can put up one now. With a new mobile base, new …

After a few years without a game in the series, 2K Games has announced Mafia 3, which is set for a full reveal at Gamescom at the end of this week. The third Mafia game is being developed by Hangar 13, a studio based in California recently created by 2K. …

The future world of Advent is a perfect one, or at least, thanks to ADVENT technology, it nearly is. Due to gene therapy, it's said that disease and illness are all but eradicated, but not all is well in this idyllic future setting. The spit and polish appears to be …

If you thought match-3 like games died back when we were playing Columns on the Megadrive, or when Popcap released Bejeweled in 2001, the last few years have no doubt been somewhat of a surprise for you. Apparently nobody is sick of the medium, as Candy Crush Saga and all …

The Evolve Big Alpha last year and the Beta this weekend just gone, both went down pretty well with fans.
