About this time every year the gaming community belly-flops into a sea of wild speculation about what they will see at E3. But this year is different.

Every day I sit at my computer and either write things for the website you now currently find yourself viewing, or editing articles and images, or producing the witty, charismatic enigma that resides in TheGameJar’s soc...

How we wish we could tell you this is some sort of horrible, cruel joke. Sony Entertainment Pictures announced that they’ve secured the exclusive rights to an Angry Birds feature film. This raises a lot of questions – why now? Why ever? Has the world gone mad? Making a decent movie is literally an art-form. The greats ... Read More »

EA have teased through a new website that Frostbite 3 will be getting a mobile adaptation. “Frostbite Go” will bring the engine that powers Battlefield, Mass Effect and many others to mobile devices.

Audiosurf was an interesting step in my gaming education. It was probably the first “indie” game I had ever seen or heard about. It struck me as incredible that a single person (in this case Dylan Fitterer) could make an entire game by himself! All my mates were talking about it and the tunes of the moment became battl...
