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...
 

It's Finally Over - Activision Blizzard Joins Xbox

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...

    Developer on The Last of Us Part 1 Remake Says It's Not a Cash Grab

    An animator on the project shuts down the notion that the remake is just to earn a quick buck.

    Robert Morrison, an animator that worked on The Last of Us Part 1 remake isn't taking too kindly to the idea that Naughty Dog's upcoming remake is "just a cash grab." Morrison says that the remake has had "the highest level of care and attention to detail" included in it.

    Morrison previously worked on games like 2018's God of War, Resident Evil 7, and Injustice...

    The rumored remake is apparently done and ready to be released.

    The rumored remake of GoldenEye 007 is apparently finished. It's ready to be announced and released, but there's just one thing holding that up: The war in Ukraine.

    Both Jeff Grubb and Eurogamer say that the remake of the classic Nintendo 64 FPS is "still in limbo because of the war." Both of these sources seem to line up with earlier reports saying that the GoldenEye 007 remake has been ready to...

    NBA 2K23 on PC is Still Previous-Gen Version

    Player pleas have gone ignored by another company.

    Yet again, the annual release of NBA 2K23 on PC will be based on the previous-gen version. For years, fans have been asking for 2K Games to include enhancements from the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S releases in the PC release. Those requests have continued to be ignored.

    Details about the PC version of NBA 2K23 were shared in an FAQ section on 2K Games' website. It notes flatly that both the PC and Nintendo Switch versions...

    Black Mesa is Getting a Demake on the Half-Life Engine

    So, a fan remake on a new engine for a game released on an old engine is getting demade back on the old engine?

    You ever see a news story that just makes you scratch your head? This is one of them.

    It took almost 15 years from a mod team to create and fully release Black Mesa, a Source engine remake of Valve's original Half-Life. A bit more than a simple remake, Black Mesa took a few liberties with some aspects of their creation, opting to expand the game a bit beyond...

    SGDQ Speedrunner Admits to Faking Metal Gear Rising World Record Run

    It was all smoke and mirrors... and pre-recorded.

    Summer Games Done Quick 2022 has come and gone. This year's event pulled in over $3 million (USD) for charity and was full of ridiculous runs, various incentives, and a few cases of "that's never happened before." One run in particular, the one for Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, seemed to pull in a lot of hype.

    Metal Gear Rising also happened to be one of the games that had an incentive. If enough money was donated,...
