These 5-hour Energy Gamer Shots are available in three flavors: Pineapple Charge, Rocket Raspberry, and Apple Bash. Unless things have suddenly changed in the fe...
 

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.

This gives ByteDance until January 19, 2025 to sell TikTok. An additional 90 day extension could be offered by President Biden if...

From the same company trying to sell you a $130 version of Star Wars Outlaws.

From announcing a $130 edition of Star Wars Outlaws to pulling game licenses from those that bought The Crew, Ubisoft sure is on a roll this week.

    Modders Get Final Fantasy 7 Running at 60FPS After 25 Years

    A major breakthrough on the mod scene just took place to offer silky smooth gameplay.

    Roughly a quarter of a century ago (good God), Final Fantasy VII was released on the PC platform. However, the PC port of the game ran at just 15 frames per second.

    While a lot of the action and animation in Final Fantasy VII for the original PlayStation release was also at a sub-optimal framerate, there is one thing the OG had going for it that the PC version lacked: The menus all ran...

    DICE Disables Official XP Farm in Battlefield 2042

    How it was ever approved in the first place is beyond me.

    Alongside yesterday's update for Battlefield 2042 came the usual new rotation of official Battlefield Portal experiences. One of those officially created and promoted modes was called Zombie Survival. In this mode, you were facing off against hordes of A.I. controlled "zombies" that were equipped only with knives. Your goal was to survive for as long as possible.

    There was just one problem: This mode made...

    Best RPG Slot Games


    For decades, the element of pure randomness has characterised slot machines. It has been a case of hitting the spin and waiting for the lucky turn! However, young gamers are progressively demanding a more complex gaming experience. Software developers have equally responded by creating stimulating games with immersive storylines and compelling level-up approaches. The story-based and progression orientation to games creation has led to the rising popularity of role-playing slot games or...

    Well, at least for now.

    After all, after Microsoft acquired Bethesda Softworks last year, it was revealed that Starfield and The Elder Scrolls 6 would be Xbox console exclusives. Call of Duty fans had that as a...
