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.

TikTok Ban Signed Into Law by President Biden
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...

Hideki Kamiya Apologizes for Scalebound Cancellation
The Platinum Games director apologizes to fans and Microsoft for the cancelled title.
In January 2017, the Xbox One and PC exclusive Scalebound was officially cancelled. It was one of the more highly anticipated titles that year that left fans disappointed after its cancellation. Scalebound was first revealed way back in 2014.
Though it's now almost five years after the game was cancelled, director at Platinum Games Hideki Kamiya seems to still feel some level of guilt... -

Rockstar Issues Statement About Terrible State of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition
Rockstar to give classic releases to PC players for free.
The state in which all three titles in Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition released in could be considered "laughable" at best and downright terrible at worst. By now, you have probably seen countless clips shared on YouTube and social media about the numerous bugs and glitches present in this release.

The Shaggy power memes will probably make a comeback because of this.
Warner Bros. has officially announced a new fighting game that blends together characters from several of its popular franchises. It's called Multiversus and it will be a free-to-play fighter that seems like one part Smash Bros. and one part Bugs Bunny.
The reveal came courtesy of a new and in-depth trailer that came out earlier today. The developer behind the game, Player First Games, says that Multiversus... -

Sega Announces Sonic and Yakuza Colognes
Now you too can smell like a chili eating hedgehog or sweaty muscle man.
You ever just sit back and ponder what Sonic the Hedgehog would smell like? He's known for eating chili dogs, so would he smell like that or something else? He also likes running through lush green landscapes, so would he perhaps smell instead like freshly washed laundry drying in a summer breeze? It really makes you think, doesn't it?
Thankfully, Sega is here to save us all from life's greatest mystery.... -

It's a whole lot of nothing.
Battlefield 2042 has been available for those that ponied up the big bucks for the Gold or Ultimate editions, priced at $89.99 (USD) and $109.99 respectively. The standard edition of the game is slated to be released in about a day from now on November 19. To say that the game needs a ton of work would be a gross understatement.
The only hope was the promised "Day 1" patch for the game that was said to arrive just prior to the standard... -

Thankfully 343 Industries says that they are "looking at" progression.
After this week's surprise release of the Halo Infinite multiplayer, the general feeling among the community has been rather positive. That is, it's been largely positive except for one thing. Most fans seem to agree that the progression system for the game's Battle Pass is God-freaking-awful.

February 2022 just got a little less packed.
The Saints Row reboot was originally scheduled to be released on February 25, 2022. If that date sounds familiar to you, it's probably because that's the exact same date that Elden Ring moved to after receiving its own delay.
Saints Row will now release on August 23, 2022. Even if you ignore that Elden Ring would be released on February 25, the month of February 2022 was already looking to be pretty stacked. In that month alone... -
