HexGaming Phantom PlayStation 5 Controller Review

In a market full of premium controllers, the Phantom manages to come out on top.

The PlayStation 5 DualSense is arguably one of the best first-party controllers to ever exist. This base PS5 controller already features amazing haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, motion controls, a touch pad, and a tried-and-true design that fits comfortably in most everyone's hands. Sony essentially combined some of the best features of the previous-generation PlayStation controllers and then added...

Review: 5-hour Energy Gamer Shot

You ever write a three-page review for an energy supplement?

In early May 2024, 5-hour ENERGY (hereto after shown as 5-hour Energy) released a new Gamer Shot line of energy drink supplements. We got some news about it because this is a video game website that posts video game related news. That is how these things work.

Band Together in Terror: The Outlast Trials Review

The Outlast Trials proves that survival horror can be more fun with friends.

The Outlast Trials is a four-player PvE game taking place in the Cold War era. The game's opening moments and lore paint a gruesome and wicked scene that will be familiar to series veterans but disquieting to those new to the Outlast universe. Players work their way through a series of experiments, each of which plays out on various large maps like a police station, a courthouse, a carnival, and more. The g...

Owner ByteDance has 270 days to sell off TikTok.

On April 24, President Joe Biden signed a foreign aid package that also included a bill that could ban TikTok in the United States. This ban can only be averted if the China-based company that owns TikTok, ByteDance, sells off the popular social media app before the 270 day time limit is up.

    First Look at Yakuza 8 Comes from an MMA Fighter

    It looks like the band is getting back together.

    The first look at Yakuza 8 (or whatever it ends up being called) has appeared online from one of the most unlikely of sources. A behind the scenes video from MMA fighter and YouTuber Mikuru Asakura took fans inside the inner workings of Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio. During the lengthy video tour, we got a quick glimpse of Yakuza: Like a Dragon stars Ichiban Kasuga, Koichi Adachi, and Yu Nanba all together in a new game.

    John Romero is Making a New Game

    John Romero is about to make Unreal Engine 5 his-- oh, who are we kidding.

    As one of the key figures behind such standout franchises like Doom, Quake, Heretic, and er... Daikatana, John Romero is no stranger to the gaming industry. The last game he worked on, Empire of Sin, came out back in 2020 to some rather tepid reviews. Some bad reviews don't keep a good Romero down (again, Daikatana says hello), which is why Romero is looking to create a new first-person shooter.

    Hey, let's just hope that this largely unnecessary feature isn't coming at the sacrifice of oh, I don't know, making sure that the cars stop crashing into...

    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...

    PowerWash Simulator Studio Issues Important Warning About Looking at the Sun

    It is bad for both your eyes and Xbox.

    The relaxing and cathartic game called PowerWash Simulator left Early Access today. It was released for PC via Steam and the Microsoft Store, plus it's on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Game Pass and is generally a pretty great game. The game even includes some co-op play where you can team up with others to wash away dirt and grime while talking about whatever comes to mind.
