Alan Wake 2 Review: A Must-Play Psychological Horror Experience

Easily, the best horror game in years.

In 2010 Remedy Entertainment released Alan Wake, a game where a writer is pulled into a horrifying world seemingly of his own creation. Alan Wake was a game that I bounced off at least two times. Despite the game being well received by critics and fans, I felt like its gameplay was just a repetitive slog that even its unique story could not overcome. When a sequel was announced by Remedy, I found myself extremely indifferent to the news. Still...

Featuring the same dual-wireless connectivity as the 600 PROs, the 900 MAX HX sets itself apart thanks to Dolby Personalized audio support with Dolby Atmos 3D, plus a charging base station, a more...
 

Review: Starfield

A safe, if not soulless, journey through the cosmos.

Bethesda Game Studios releases are safe. They are familiar. You know almost exactly what to expect when a major new release from them rolls around. They instill a feeling of "I know this game won't be groundbreaking, but I know I'll have fun." Yes, there are some obvious differences, but the heart of each Bethesda game is almost universally the same. The recent release of Starfield is no different. To put it bluntly: Starfield is Fall...

    Unfortunately, this trailer features no bare Chief buttocks.

    Paramount just shared the first look at Season 2 for Halo The Series. After a rather rocky first season, the show was evidently renewed for another go on Paramount+.

    If you never bothered to watch the first season of Halo, you can actually do so right now through YouTube. Paramount apparently put the entire first season up on YouTube for everyone to watch ahead of today's Season 2 reveal.

    Plus a new map, new gameplay mechanics, and more.

    Thanks to a leak from PlayStation Sweden, the Chapter 5 trailer for Fortnite Battle Royale came out a little earlier than anticipated. Shortly after that leak, Epic Games seems to have just said "screw it" and officially released the trailer once the cat was out of the bag.

    Chapter 5 is called "Underground" and with it will come an "entirely new island." There will be new points of interest...
