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...

    Battlefield 2042 Update 3 Changelog

    A changelog that rivals the length of a CVS Pharmacy receipt.

    Battlefield 2042 is in a sad state, even following the release of Update #2 just last week. We all knew that Update #3 was coming and that it would be far more substantial than Update #2 was. Today, DICE released the changelog for Battlefield 2042 Update #3 and it is a long one.

    The length of this changelog almost makes you think that maybe this game shouldn't have been released when it was. And you know what?...

    What Are the Best CS:GO Teams in the World?


    What is the mark of a truly successful computer game? Most units sold? Biggest grossing franchise? Most dedicated fan following? As a title which has sold over 25 million copies to date, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (or CS:GO, for short) certainly ticks all of those boxes and more, since it’s one of the best-selling games of the Steam era.

    However, the advent of eSports has taken gaming to a whole new level. With tournaments devoted exclusively to revealing the best CS:GO...

    Valve Confirms There Won't be Steam Deck Exclusive Games

    Well, duh.

    In the newly updated FAQ page for their upcoming Steam Deck, Valve says that they are not interested in developers making Steam Deck exclusive titles. This startling revelation should really come as no surprise to anybody who has been paying attention to what the Steam Deck is for any length of time. It is, after all, merely a handheld PC.

    Valve's remarks about this came about during a recently Steamworks Steam Deck event where developers and publishers asked...
