Crime Boss: Rockay City Steam Review

A decent payday.

INGAME Studios has been hard at work since Crime Boss: Rockay City was released in March 2023. The game reviewed rather poorly during its 2023 debut and you can tell INGAME took the player and reviewer criticisms to heart. Since that release, the studio has released several major updates for Crime Boss ahead of its June 18, 2024 release on Steam. Crime Boss initially appears to outsiders as a game much akin to the Payday titles. That is, you would think that it's a...

HexGaming Phantom PlayStation 5 Controller Review

In a market full of premium controllers, the Phantom manages to come out on top.

The PlayStation 5 DualSense is arguably one of the best first-party controllers to ever exist. This base PS5 controller already features amazing haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, motion controls, a touch pad, and a tried-and-true design that fits comfortably in most everyone's hands. Sony essentially combined some of the best features of the previous-generation PlayStation controllers and then added...

Review: 5-hour Energy Gamer Shot

You ever write a three-page review for an energy supplement?

In early May 2024, 5-hour ENERGY (hereto after shown as 5-hour Energy) released a new Gamer Shot line of energy drink supplements. We got some news about it because this is a video game website that posts video game related news. That is how these things work. These 5-hour Energy Gamer Shots are available in three flavors: Pineapple Charge, Rocket Raspberry, and Apple Bash. Unless things have suddenly changed in the fe...

Band Together in Terror: The Outlast Trials Review

The Outlast Trials proves that survival horror can be more fun with friends.

The Outlast Trials is a four-player PvE game taking place in the Cold War era. The game's opening moments and lore paint a gruesome and wicked scene that will be familiar to series veterans but disquieting to those new to the Outlast universe. Players work their way through a series of experiments, each of which plays out on various large maps like a police station, a courthouse, a carnival, and more. The g...

Battlefield 2042 'Holiday Protocol' Event Starts Tomorrow

Spread some holiday cheer with the help of a tank.

With the holidays rapidly approaching, what better way to spend part of them than by engaging in a little virtual war with friends and loved ones. DICE seems to have that same idea because they're kicking off a new in-game event for Battlefield 2042 on December 12 that they're calling Holiday Protocol.

This Holiday Protocol will run for four weeks (December 12, 2023 - January 9, 2024) and will feature four different...

DICE is certainly in the giving mood this holiday season, because the studio came out to say that Season 7 for Battlefield 2042 is coming. A little bit of teasing first showed up from Manuel Llanes on Twitter back on November 23rd. Llanes is the creative director for Battlefield 2042's live service model.

Adjustments Made to Dark Protocol LTE for Battlefield 2042

Some changes were made based on player feedback.

DICE just rolled out a few tweaks for the latest Battlefield 2042 limited time event, Dark Protocol. The event, which kicked off just this past Tuesday, finds players fighting for control over a series of points. Players are also fighting for control over Geist Forges, a unique device that periodically spawns A.I. controlled synths that will join the fight for whichever side holds control over the forge.

Based on some...

Fix for Battlefield 2042 Steam 'Validation' Issue

This workaround could help Steam users get into the game.

Following today's Season 6: Dark Creations update for Battlefield 2042, most Steam players have run into a bit of a snag. When attempting to launch Battlefield 2042, Steam will attempt a "Validation" step for the game instead of launching the game. Once completed, the game will still fail to launch and kick off another "Validation" step.

It seems that a workaround to this issue lies not...

Battlefield 2042 to Utilize New EA Anticheat in Season 6

A new anti-cheat has entered the battlefield.

Electronic Arts just announced that they are working on implementing their own anti-cheat (or anticheat), into their current and upcoming multiplayer titles. Much like the simply named EA app, EA's new anticheat is called EA anticheat. Yes, that lack of capitalization is correct and slightly frustrating to look at.

The Battlefield 2042 team at DICE says that come the launch of Season 6 in October, the game will switch over...

Season 6 delayed, so here is some old content you may like instead.

DICE announced today that they have had to push Season 6 for Battlefield 2042 back by a month. That means Season 6 will now be out in October instead of September as initially planned. That also means that there is now a gap between the end of Season 5 and the start of Season 6.

That's where Battlefield 2042: Redux comes into play. This interim season will bring back those limited-time modes from previous...

Squads in Battlefield 2042 to Improve in Next Update

Revolutionary new ideas still being added to Battlefield 2042.

When DICE "improved" the squad system in Battlefield 2042, they left a lot to be desired. I cannot even remember what exactly they did to improve it, but those improvements still failed to give much of any control to how your squad functions in the game. You were unable to lock your squad. You also couldn't kick anybody from the squad if, for example, a vacant slot fills with a random after your friend's game...

Apparently, ever since Season 5 of Battlefield 2042 launched this past week, there have been issues with player stats not updating. These are the stats you can see under your Player Profile and include information like your K/D ratio, win rate, weapon and gadget statistics, and more.
