Band Together in Terror: The Outlast Trials Review
The Outlast Trials proves that survival horror can be more fun with friends.

TikTok Ban Signed Into Law by President Biden
Owner ByteDance has 270 days to sell off TikTok.
On April 24, President Joe Biden signed a foreign aid package that also included a bill that could ban TikTok in the United States. This ban can only be averted if the China-based company that owns TikTok, ByteDance, sells off the popular social media app before the 270 day time limit is up.
This gives ByteDance until January 19, 2025 to sell TikTok. An additional 90 day extension could be offered by President Biden if...

Good luck avoiding all of the spoilers.
It looks like Sony made a little "oopsie" this morning as it gave access to Destiny 2: The Final Shape expansion a week ahead of its actual release. Users reported that by using the game streaming service through PlayStation 5, they were able to access pre-loaded content that should not have been released yet.
This content is obviously available through Sony's servers to allow players to pre-load ahead of the official... -

Counter-Strike 2 Update for May 29, 2024
Since I'm here...
Looks like Valve just released a little update for Counter-Strike 2. Valve has a tendency to release their updates a little later in the day, so it's a rare treat when I see an update for Counter-Strike and it's still daylight here.
Today's update isn't particularly big or exciting though. It's more of a minor bug fix update. It is what it is.
The changelog can be found below if you didn't feel like clicking the link above. Counter-Strike... -

It's a party and everybody is invited!
Sure, the initial marketing push for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 was quite lame and, as some have said, "very cringe." This new trailer, though? This new trailer actually seems pretty damn good. At the very least, it's extremely intriguing.
Hey, you remember the Gulf War? You know, Desert Storm? Iraq? Kuwait? If you're a regular of the site, I think you're old enough to remember the Gulf War, or at least remember some things... -

This update is out now for all available platforms (PC, PS5, Series X) and adds in a new veteran spy, Vigil. Vigil is "a cunning professional who... -
