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 Season 6 Announced

Surprise!

It seems as though DICE and EA pulled a fast one on all of us. Battlefield 2042 Season 5: New Dawn was supposed to be the fifth and final season for the futuristic multiplayer FPS. I say supposed to be, because they just announced a sixth season earlier today.

The announcement came via the official Battlefield social media channels like Instagram and Twitter.

We know jack squat about what Season 6 will include. DICE said in their announcement that...

Helicopters about to be a whole lot more annoying.

If you thought taking down helicopters, especially the stealth choppers, were a pain in the ass before just you wait for Update 5.0.0 to drop for Battlefield 2042.

Battlefield 2042 Season 5: New Dawn Teaser and Lore Dump

Just a teaser for a bigger reveal.

DICE released a little teaser today for Season 5 of Battlefield 2042. This teaser was dropped ahead of a planned larger reveal scheduled for May 26. First off, we learned that Season 5 is being called New Dawn.

The teaser is just that, a teaser of the upcoming gameplay reveal on the 26th at 8AM (PT). It also seems to hold a little more than meets the eye at first glance. For instance, is that morse code I hear? Secondly, what does 1 11...

Vehicle Reworks Coming in Battlefield 2042 Season 5

Less explosives, category adjustments, and more.

DICE just detailed the changes that are coming to vehicle loadouts for Battlefield 2042 in Season 5. While the general changes may not seem like a whole lot at a glance, they are rather big in the grand scheme of things. For instance, DICE is pulling explosives from several vehicles to have them be less of a "jack of all trades" sort of thing and to better fit the roles they were designed for. There is also a small shuffle to move the...
