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

The Crew was Ubisoft's open-world racing game that was pulled from sale back in December 2023. As of March 31, 2024, Ubisoft shut down the online servers for The Crew. This effectively made the game unplayable across all platforms, including: PC,...
 

Tim Sweeney Called Valve 'Assholes' in Email to Gabe Newell, Valve COO Says 'You Mad Bro?'

Tim Sweeney is always mad.

The antitrust lawsuit against Valve from Wolfire Games got a little spicy this week. To quickly get you up to speed: Wolfire claims that Valve uses its position with Steam to control game prices and muscle out competition. Though the initial lawsuit against Valve was dismissed, Wolfire amended their suit in May 2022 and the legal battle was back on.

It may have taken almost two years, but we are now starting to see some of the documents that...

No, Starfield and Indiana Jones are not going multi-platform any time soon.

    Battlefield 2042 Beta Begins October 6

    It's coming.

    DICE and EA finally lifted the lid on information concerning the upcoming open beta for Battlefield 2042. It has been a long time coming and it's great to finally get some news about this. I know the fanbase has been getting a little, let's just say antsy, with each day that passed by where we did not hear anything.

    In the latest Battlefield Briefing, the team announced that the Beta for Battlefield 2042 will run from October 6 through October 9. Specifically,...

    Stop me if you've heard this one before.

    The Witcher is Getting Kid-Focused Netflix Series

    How exactly is that going to work?

    Tudum was a recent event hosted by Netflix that was some global fan event thingy. I don't really know, nor do I care. The important takeaway from this event, at least as far as this site is concerned, is the fact that we have some new news concerning The Witcher series, or should I say serieses? I shouldn't, because that's not a word.

    During this Tudum event, Netflix showed off a little bit of the second season for The Witcher series,...

This PlayStation exclusive character will not only be playable only on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, but he will also come with added story content and additional cutscenes. This content will not be made available to any other platform.

    Looking Forward to TES: VI


    The Elder Scrolls is a series that will be well known within the gaming community as it has enjoyed a long history within the industry. It was one of the first groundbreaking RPG games to have arrived to gamers since the industry started, albeit this was in a basic form when compared to some of the blockbuster hits today. It should not be a stretch to say that the Elder Scrolls is up there with some of the best RPG series in gaming, such as Final Fantasy and The Witcher. However, for many...

    During the latest Nintendo Direct, Nintendo gave the good news that they are bringing Nintendo 64 and Genesis titles to Nintendo Switch Online. Unfortunately, these games will only be offered if you decide you want to pay more for Nintendo's online service, at a price point that has yet to be revealed.

    As it stands right now, Nintendo Switch Online can be yours for an entire year at just about $20 (USD), which really isn't too...

    Bayonetta 3 First Gameplay Reveal

    Rumors of her demise were greatly exaggerated.

    During last week's new Nintendo Direct, PlatinumGames showed off the first new trailer for Bayonetta 3 in years. The game was originally announced back in 2017 and ever since then there really hasn't been much of a peep about it. It seems that in all this time, PlatinumGames has been quietly working on the long-awaited sequel to the much loved action series.

    New 3D Kirby Game Announced

    Super Kirby 64.

    During the latest Nintendo Direct, Nintendo announced a brand-spanking-new 3D Kirby game. It's called Kirby and the Forgotten Land and it will be released on the Nintendo Switch at some point during Spring 2022.

    Kirby still has the ability to absorb and use other abilities from foes and powerups. He can also jump around and do plenty of platforming. So yeah, it's like the 2D Kirby games but with an added dimension. This isn't rocket science here.
