The antitrust lawsuit against Valve from Wolfire Games got a little spicy this week. To quickly get you up to speed: Wolfire claims that Valve uses its position with Steam to control game prices and muscle out competition. Though the initial lawsuit against Valve was dismissed, Wolfire amended their suit in May 2022 and the legal battle was back on.

    Four classes, each with restricted loadouts to return to the franchise.

    Among the many shortcomings in Battlefield 2042, one in particular has stood out. No, I'm not talking about the bugs, nor the map design, nor the lack of maps, nor the lack of weapons, nor <insert anything from the laundry list of items here>. I am, of course, talking about the Specialists.

    Players have lamented the removal of the Battlefield staple of having distinct classes. With the Specialist...

  • New Saints Row is Apparently a Broken Mess

    New Saints Row is Apparently a Broken Mess

    The reviews are in and critics agree: Yikes!

    If you were debating on picking up the new Saints Row game when it comes out on August 23, 2022 you should probably not get it. Just don't buy it. In fact, I'd probably wait maybe a year or so before picking it up. Not only will the game more than likely be out on Steam at that point for you PC users, but it will probably also be a lot less buggy. It will probably also be available for a big discount.

    Watch Almost 20 Seconds of The Last of Us HBO Series

    We finally get a look at The Last of Us in a format that isn't a still image.
