Control Resonant Review
The Hot Dog Incident is the least of your worries.
When Remedy Entertainment released the original Control, it redefined how strange and compelling an action game could be. Seven years later, the studio has returned with Control Resonant, which officially launched on September 24, 2026. Stepping away from the claustrophobic, ever-shifting corridors of the Oldest House, the sequel thrusts players directly into the chaotic streets of Manhattan.

Call of Duty: Warzone was Nuked
We knew it was coming.
The end of the second season of content for Call of Duty: Warzone came not with a bang but with a really big bang. Nuclear bombs have gone off across the current iteration of the Verdansk map, but many players have apparently been left out in the cold, aka: a login queue.
Verdansk began to be nuked around 12PM (PT) today. This began with a 100-player survival against player-controlled zombies. From there, the event wrapped up with a cutscene that... -

But how many of those players are returning cheaters?
With just one day left before a big nuclear event hits Verdansk, Activision announces that Call of Duty: Warzone has surpassed 100 million players. That's a lot of players for the ever growing battle royale genre. It's also the second battle royale game in about a week to hit the 100 million player milestone. Apex Legends hit that milestone just this past week.

Activision just released a little look at what is coming later this week to Call of Duty: Warzone and Call of Duty: Black Ops - Cold War.

We at least know just how big the updates will be across all platforms, so let's take a look at those first. ... -

Nukes are Launching in Call of Duty: Warzone Two Weeks Ahead of Schedule
But their impact leaves a lot to be desired.
Nukes are already launching in Call of Duty: Warzone despite the event not supposed to occur for about two weeks from now. Some players have already seen the missiles flying and landing early, but they come not with a bang but with a tepid whimper. A Redditor, AmedeeO10, noticed the missiles flying through the air during a match of King Slayer Trios.
Though the nukes were flying through the air, quite frequently at that, their... -

Call of Duty: Warzone Removes Attack Helicopters Again
And just like that, they're gone again.
Just yesterday, we delivered news about the new update for Call of Duty: Warzone that brought back attack helicopters to the game. They were previously removed back in late 2020 because they allowed players to turn invisible, which isn't something that is necessarily good to have in a battle royale game. Go figure.
Just a day later and here we are talking about how the attack helicopters are once again removed from the game due to... -

Was 2025 a big year for game completions for you, or were you more of a "stick to one never-ending, live-service game for the entire year" sort of player?
For this, you can take whatever definition you want as a game "completion." Beat the main story? Earned 100% of the game's achievements?
