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...

My new daily driver.

We are once again delving into the world of gaming headsets, this time with a spotlight shining brightly on Nacon's RIG 900 MAX HX. Priced at $249.99 (USD), the 900 MAX HX aims to be a more premium and feature-filled offering than the RIG 600 PRO HS we recently reviewed. 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...

    It's the end of the world as we know it.

    A more detailed and more fully fleshed out story synopsis for God of War Ragnarök was published by Sony and Santa Monica Studio by way of the PlayStation Store. Previously, the game's store page included a rather sparse synopsis but the new one provides some additional details on the story that players will experience.

    The longer synopsis confirms that the game takes place during Ragnarök and in the period leading up to Ragnarök...

    Broken controllers, holes in walls, excessive yelling and swearing.

    While I'm sure we would all like to consider ourselves here calm, cool, and collected that might not always hold true when playing a frustrating game. Maybe you're having a particularly frustrating day, and nothing is going your way. Maybe your teammates (and totally not you) are doing terrible and you're losing a multiplayer game because of it. Maybe you just died for the 50th time to a boss that did some unblockable...

    A bug caused several players to accidentally purchase premium cosmetic items.

    Fall Guys recently made a very successful transition from a paid title to a free-to-play game for PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo, and PC platforms. The jump to F2P didn't come without a few bumps though. The servers struggled to meet the increased player demand in the days following the game's release and more recently a bug popped up that caused some players to unintentionally buy items from the store instead...

    Steam VR Fest Begins July 18

    The worlds are virtual but the savings are real.

    Valve announces that from July 18th through to July 25th they will be "celebrating the most overachieving category of 'interactive gaming' there is: Virtual Reality!" As someone that owns an older VR headset, I would be inclined to agree with that assessment.

    Next week, the Steam VR Fest will be held that allows fans and interested parties to explore a wide range of VR titles. VR owners will get to try out demos...

It's been in development for about six years now from just one person. The development was self-funded from start to finish and is being self-published.

    Irish Poker Drinking Game Rules

    Irish poker is a very simple drinking game that can be played anywhere. A standard deck of cards and some opponents are all that are required.

    It's important to note that Irish poker and the drinking game are two completely different games.

    Irish poker is played for money, whereas the game we're discussing today is played for fun. It's not a good idea to play for money when drinking is present.

    This card game is the best there is for a straightforward and enjoyable...

    Why Money Laundering Is A Problem In The Gambling Industry & How It Actually Operates

    Money laundering is a very serious crime that occurs much more frequently than you might imagine.


    What Does Money Laundering Mean?

    Simply put, the act of taking money obtained illegally and making it appear as though it was earned legally is known as money laundering.

    By engaging in specific types of transactions, making investments in assets, and making other decisions that conceal the source of the money, criminals "clean" their money....
