It's hard to believe that it's been more than 10 years since Castle Crashers first found its way to Xbox 360. In the time since then, it's found a lot of fans on a variety of different platforms, and developer The Behemoth announced today that it isn't quite done porting the game to new consoles yet. Castle Crashers Remastered, which launched for Xbox One and PC back in 2015, is heading to Switch and PS4, and it'll arrive later this year.

PlayStation 4 remote play has been a fairly major focus for Sony this generation. First it came to the PlayStation Vita, then it landed on Android as a feature for some of Sony's Xperia phones.

Today that long-standing question was finally answered, as Sony has launched a PS4 Remote Play app on the iOS App Store.

As the spring season approaches, one of the many things we can expect is the announcement of this year's Call of Duty title.

An early rating for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered was posted by PEGI, Europe's game ratings board, and then quickly scrubbed from the site.

Eric Abent | Mar 1, 2019

Sony has revealed the free PlayStation Plus games for March and the list of free games is a fair bit shorter than we're used to seeing.

There's a new Anthem trailer out there today, the big one, the launch trailer, the one with Ozzy in it. The Ozzy is subtle, and it's not strictly Iron Man, exactly, but it's close enough.
