    Phantom Blade Zero Review: Great Combat, Held Back by Story and Collision Issues

    IGN's Phantom Blade Zero review calls the combat the game's biggest strength, citing precise parries and dodges, dozens of weapons with unique movesets, and a posture system that pushes frequent weapon swapping across a 50-hour playthrough. It also criticizes the convoluted timeline and jargon-heavy story, plus geometry problems and invisible walls that caused roughly half of the author's nearly 200 deaths. The review notes framerate drops on one map and praises the varied boss fights, where cleared phases don't need to be replayed.

    Analysts Say Closing BioWare and Cancelling Mass Effect Was No Surprise for EA

    EA confirmed it is closing BioWare and cancelling its upcoming Mass Effect game. Analyst Joost Van Dreunen told IGN that EA carries $18 billion in debt from its leveraged sale to Saudi Arabia's PIF, Silver Lake and Affinity, with about $1.8 billion in annual interest exceeding its $1.5 billion in yearly EBITDA, making a roughly 50-person team years from launch the easiest cut. Ampere Analysis's Piers Harding-Rolls cited Dragon Age: The Veilguard missing sales expectations and the commercial disappointments of Mass Effect: Andromeda and Anthem.

    Why this: Analysts place BioWare's closure and the Mass Effect cancellation within EA's roughly $18 billion debt and leveraged buyout.

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 Review: A Sendoff for the Rebooted Series

    Game Informer's review says Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 makes up for its predecessor with a fun campaign, thrilling multiplayer, and the new DMZ extraction mode.

Multiplayer adds modes such as the 24v24 Combat Outpost, and DMZ is called the definitive Call of Duty extraction shooter, while the campaign shows low framerate and frequent texture loading.

    Why this: The review walks through campaign, multiplayer, and DMZ with hands-on impressions and notes framerate and texture-loading issues, helping readers judge whether this entry is worth buying.
