Californian studio Blizzard Entertainment are certainly not shy when it comes to pumping out the merch for their catalogue of successful video games. Until now, non U.S residents have had to put with some brutal shipping charges - as well a...

In case you missed this mornings Nintendo Direct for E3 2018, let me fill you in with the most important and heartbreaking news of the day. The Jumpman himself met an unfortunate fate around 9:40AM PT when he was viciously attacked by a flying bird-lizard thingy...
