Amnesia: The Bunker Review (PC)

Frictional Games plays it safe. Perhaps a little too safe.

Frictional Games is known for crafting some of the most memorable horror game experiences over the past 15 years. They began with the Prenumbra series, a trio of titles that gave us our first taste of Frictional's penchant for blending survival horror with physics-based environmental puzzles. The studio then saw a spike in popularity with their next release, Amnesia: The Dark Descent. Amnesia: The Dark Descent expanded upon the...
 

After Us Review (PS5)

After Us offers a glimpse of our future and a warning of things to come.

A gaming experience where you engage in thoughtful introspection, wordless encounters, and some platforming across Earth's many diverse locations to undo the devastation caused by global warming sounds like an intriguing idea on paper. Its execution in After Us, however, leaves quite a bit to be desired. Some awkward platforming, poor combat, and performance woes will ultimately leave you feeling a little less...
 

Redfall is Arkane's Worst Game Ever

It's also the worst "AAA" developed title in recent memory.

It was a struggle to finish Redfall. It was an absolute struggle thanks to performance issues, technical deficiencies, crashes, broken A.I., and uninspired quest design. It was the antithesis of fun and I pushed myself to complete the game out of pure spite.

Prior to playing Redfall, I saw Arkane as a studio that could do no wrong when it comes to their output. Dark Messiah of Might and Magic in 2006...
 

Latest Steam Beta Makes Major Overhaul to the In-game Overlay

Watch YouTube, take notes, chat, and more.

Valve just released a new beta update for Steam that includes a wealth of new features, updated old features, and some under the hood changes.

Right now, you can opt into the new beta for the Steam client that makes some drastic changes to the In-Game Overlay. Now, you...
 

UK Blocks Microsoft Activision Merger

The CMA claims the deal would harm cloud gaming.

Cloud gaming. Cloud gaming is the reason why the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) in the UK voted to block the $69 billion deal that would see Microsoft taking over Activision Blizzard.

The decision didn't come down to concerns over Call of Duty exclusivity or anything that would make some measure of sense. No, it came down to the CMA being concerned that the deal would "undermine new and innovative" competition...

  • Death Stranding Director's Cut Confirmed for PC

    Death Stranding Director's Cut Confirmed for PC

    This release will be one of the first to utilize Intel's XeSS technology.

    As many had hoped back when it was first announced for the PlayStation 5, Death Stranding Director's Cut is indeed coming out soon for the PC. The PS5 release happened on September 24, 2021 and the PC release is said to be coming out Spring 2022. I'm going to guess it will be a late March 2022 release as that will place it almost exactly six months out from the original PlayStation 5 release.

    Next Game from BioShock Creator is Reportedly in 'Development Hell'

    Ken Levine's newest project is said to be stuck in "development hell."

About eight years ago, Levine announced his new project with his new studio, Ghost Story Games. Since then, not much about the game has been revealed.

    According to a new report by Bloomberg, the lack...

    Winners Revealed for the 2021 Steam Awards

    Valve has revealed the community-voted picks for the best games of 2021.

    It's almost time for the Steam Winter Sale to come to an end. You have just two days remaining to save a lot of money on what can be described as a "metric buttload" of video games. This also means it's time to see who won in each category for the 2021 Steam Awards.

    Remember that each category had titles that were selected by the Steam community in November 2021. You were able to vote on...

  • Asus Recalls Z690 Maximus Hero Motherboards Over Concerns of Spontaneous Combustion

    Several owners have reported flames coming from their motherboards.

    Before Christmas, there were a few scattered reports about failures and random combustion for the Asus ROG Maximum Z690 Hero motherboards. Following the jolly holiday, more and more reports have started to come out from board owners who have had their hardware literally go up in smoke.

    Following a rather quick investigation by Asus, the company has pushed out an announcement, issued a recall, and are offering...

    Sony Reveals a Solid PlayStation Plus Lineup for January 2022

    Another solid lineup for PlayStation Plus subscribers awaits you in the new year.

    Sony just revealed the PlayStation Plus lineup of "free" games that are coming for subscribers in the new year. As has been typical for the past several months, the lineup is a rather solid one, especially in comparison to recent Games with Gold Xbox titles from Microsoft. Of course, this is all very subjective, but I just can't shake the feeling that the PlayStation Plus games have just been...

    Valve Reveals Steam's Best Games for 2021

    Contrary to popular belief, not everything was delayed in 2021.

    Once again, Valve employees have poured through the data over the course of hundreds of hours to produce a list of the biggest and best-selling games available through Steam in 2021. It's either that, or they just had a program compile all of the data for them, but the alternative sounds more thrilling.

    Valve has broken down Steam's "Best of 2021" into several categories. They have listings for the...

    Starting off the new year with a, uh, well... they're free at least.

    Microsoft has announced their Games with Gold "free" games for January 2022 already. I assume this early announcement is due to those silly things like Christmas and New Years coming up at a rapid rate.

    These games will start to be available starting on January 1, 2022. The games include NeuroVoider, Aground, Radiant Silvergun, and Space Invaders Infinity Gene. As always, these games are "free"...

  • Sully's Mustache Appears in Newest Uncharted Movie Trailer

    Sully's Mustache Appears in Newest Uncharted Movie Trailer

    All is right with the world.

    A new trailer for the Uncharted film came out this week. It features a lot more of Tom Holland's Nathan Drake and Mark Wahlberg's Victor "Sully" Sullivan in action.

    Perhaps the biggest thing of note in the new trailer is the appearance of Sully's iconic mustache. The lack of a mustache in the film's first trailer was something that I certainly took issue with (along with most other fans of the franchise). I still feel like the mustache...

  • What June 2023 Games Releases Will You Buy?
    by Shawn Zipay
    It's a fairly stacked month.

    May and into June is usually when the mid-year lull begins for new game releases. Yet here we are in June 2023 and there are some big games either already out or coming out in the weeks ahead.

    There are several games coming out this month, many of which you might call "bangers" that you might just happen to have your eye on. This month's poll is simple and probably a retread of a poll (or several) that have been done in the past....
