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...

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...

    Official Formula 1 Game Shuts Down, Makes Worthless NFTs Even More Worthless

    NFTs were already worthless to begin with, am I right?

    An official Formula 1 racing game "powered" by NFTs and crypto, closed down last month. The game was F1 Delta Time and its closure spells bad news for those foolish enough to have spent even a penny on the ongoing scam that are NFTs.

    See, F1 Delta Time was one of the first officially licensed NFT games out in the wild. It closed down last month, specifically it closed on March 16, just one day after it was...

    You won't be able to build your own school until August.

    Some sad news today as word has come from Sega and Two Point Studios that Two Point Campus has been delayed. The goofy sim-style game has been pushed out of a May 17 release to August 9.

    The developer says that they "want to make sure that every single one of you gets the best quality game no matter what you're playing on." As such, the team needs some more time to optimize the game for all platforms....

    Upcoming Windows 11 Security Feature will Require a Fresh Install of Your OS

    You want to be secure, right?

    A new update for Windows 11 is in the works from Microsoft that aims to "help protect hybrid work." This new security feature is called Smart App Control and it hopes to prevent you from running malicious software. "Hybrid work" in this case is a combination of work that is done both at home and in-office, something that isn't too uncommon these days.

    Ghost Recon Breakpoint Will No Longer Receive New Content

    I'm sure dozens of people are upset by this.

    Ubisoft announced that they will no longer release any new content for Ghost Recon Breakpoint. This reveal comes several months after the release of the last piece of content for the game, Operation Motherland, which came out on November 2, 2021.

    Really, today's announcement was probably just a confirmation of what the remaining fans of the game already kind of figured out by now. Ghost Recon Breakpoint did receive about two...

    CD Projekt Red Explains Their Decision to Use Unreal Ending 5 for The Witcher 4

    A big reason was stability.

    During today's "State of Unreal" stream, CD Projekt Red had a moment to explain just why they have decided to use Unreal Engine 5 for their upcoming Witcher sequel. The decision was made a while back to develop this sequel, be it called The Witcher 4 or something else, using Unreal Engine 5 instead of their in-house REDengine 4. I bet you didn't see this move coming, but if you are a betting man (or woman) be sure to check out casino online....
