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...
 

It's Finally Over - Activision Blizzard Joins Xbox

As it turns out, this corporate version of Mr. Bones' Wild Ride does actually end.

This also means that Activision Blizzard IPs such as Call of Duty, World of Warcraft, Overwatch, Candy Crush Saga, and hundreds more are now owned by Microsoft.

This entire saga of a tale began back on January 18, 2022...

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...

    Today, IGN got an exclusive first look at Spider-Man's intro video into Marvel's Avengers.

    The trailer is a cinematic that introduces the web slinger. We don't see any gameplay in the video but we do...

    You ever get a sense of déjà vu? It is once again time for a new Battlefield game and that means there will be some bugs included. I mean, every game has them these days and they aren't completely unexpected. However, when it comes to Battlefield, there may be a bit more worry from fans who remember the release of Battlefield 4.

    Can complicated gaming jargon put people off?


    The online casino and gaming world can be something of a minefield. If you are used to playing games in a traditional setting such as a casino then visiting some more 'modern' websites then it may become confusing. You might have been a big gamer in previous eras and want to get back involved but are put off by the language used by developers like Microsoft and Sony.

    Let's try to help you understand the jargon. We'll then look at the dangers of potentially over complicating...

    Expect 'Double Digit' New Game Announcements During The Game Awards 2021

    And probably even more award winners delegated to brief mentions.

    The Game Awards 2021 will include "double digit" new game announcements. This is according to creator and host of the show, Geoff Keighley, in an interview with industry veteran Brian Crecente. This interview was made for and shared to the Epic Games Store for some unknown reason. Maybe this is just an indication that all of the new PC game announcements are going to be Epic Games Store exclusive. Wouldn't...

    Those damned global chip shortages strike again!

    Valve just passed along some unfortunate news today concerning the Steam Deck. Due to "global supply chain issues" the Steam Deck release has been pushed back by two months. The earliest Steam Deck will begin shipping has shifted from December 2021 to February 2022.

    The Tomorrow Children to Make Surprise Return

    The long-forgotten PS4 exclusive is set to make a comeback.

    In September 2016, a unique and stylized game for the PlayStation 4 was released. It was called The Tomorrow Children, it offered both a paid and free-to-play option, and it had a very short life. The game lasted just 13 months before the servers were turned off in November 2017. Five years later, it looks like The Tomorrow Children is ready to return.

    Bethesda Teases Fallout 5

    Just don't expect to see it any time soon.

    Bethesda's Todd Howard recently sat down with IGN for a new episode of IGN Unfiltered. The media outlet talked about a number of different subjects with the Bethesda executive producer Todd Howard, mostly focusing on the 10th anniversary of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. However, one of the non-Skyrim topics briefly touched upon was the future of the Fallout franchise.

    To that end, Howard says that the studio has an idea for Fallout...

    Fortnite Pulls Travis Scott Dance Emote

    Epic did not provide a reason why, but we've got a pretty good idea.

    Epic Games removed the Travis Scott "Out West" dance emote from Fortnite yesterday. This comes shortly after a number of people died during the rap star's Astroworld concert in Houston, Texas.

    The Scott concert took place on November 5 in NRG Park. According to CNN, at least eight people ranging in age from 14 to 27 have died, with several others injured. Eyewitness reports say that crowds surged...
