Tiny Tina's Wonderlands Review (PC)
Ranks among the best of the Borderlands franchise.
Right out of the gate, I must say that I would consider myself a fan of the Borderlands games. I have played through the first game about two times, the second game about three times, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel about 1.5 times, and Borderlands 3 at least once. I frankly cannot remember if I played through the third game twice, once solo and once with friends, or if I just played through it all once with friends. And really, the less...

Is Overwatch 2 Doomed to Fail?
Reinventing a service or game is never easy, whilst there are a few that have done it in the past, it’s often not something that turns out all that well. There’s a reason why many services have a certain formula and approach that they stick to and is proven to work. Many of the biggest genres like betting for example will seem familiar in how they operate and even in the bonuses as players can check BetMGM Registration code in Ontario for bonuses for example – operators won’t try to reinvent...

To Nobody's Surprise Hazard Zone Support is Ending for Battlefield 2042
This is the least shocking news ever.
DICE announced that they are no longer going to support or release new content for the Hazard Zone mode in Battlefield 2042.
Now, I know what you're thinking: "How could they end support for something that they never supported in the first place?" And you would be correct in asking that rhetorical question. What this essentially means is that DICE isn't going to convert any new maps into Hazard Zone variants. The mode will... -

Destiny 2 Season 17 Trailer Released Ahead of Schedule
PlayStation Japan did an oopsie.
Bungie has been very cagey about releasing any information regarding Season 17 for Destiny 2. This silence is very unlike the studio, as they commonly have massive information drops days if not weeks ahead of a new Season. In fact, the plan was to not even release the Season 17 trailer until mere hours before the Season begins on Tuesday, May 24.
Leave it up to forces outside of their control to ruin some big surprises for players. PlayStation... -

Development Reportedly Resumes on Stalker 2
Development was paused earlier this year due to the war in Ukraine.
In early March it was reported that development on S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chernobyl was put on hold due to Russia's violent invasion of Ukraine. The Kyiv, Ukraine based development team of GSC Game World opted to put their safety and the safety of their families ahead of the creation of a video game.

In this book series, Jesus of Nazareth didn't take too kindly to being crucified, responding not with forgiveness but with rage.

We haven't seen nor heard much about this mod for about a year now. Today, the team released over 18 minutes of gameplay footage, which can be found below. The footage includes... -
