Control Resonant Review

The Hot Dog Incident is the least of your worries.

When Remedy Entertainment released the original Control, it redefined how strange and compelling an action game could be. Seven years later, the studio has returned with Control Resonant, which officially launched on September 24, 2026. Stepping away from the claustrophobic, ever-shifting corridors of the Oldest House, the sequel thrusts players directly into the chaotic streets of Manhattan. While it carries forward the brilliant super...

    Steam Turns 20

    Just one more year until it can legally drink in the States.

    Valve launched Steam 20 years ago today.

    XDefiant Delayed After Failing to Receive Console Certification

    The release has been pushed to between September and October.

    Ubisoft's upcoming free-to-play FPS, XDefiant, has been delayed by a wee bit. This is due to the fact that the game has been refused certification by both Microsoft and Sony.

    Starfield is Officially Bethesda's Largest Ever Release

    6 million players and counting.

    Bethesda Game Studios announced mere minutes ago that Starfield is the largest ever release for Bethesda. It's not clear if this is the largest release for Bethesda Softworks (the publisher), Bethesda Game Studios (the developer) or just "Bethesda" in general. Let's just go with "Bethesda" in the general sense here because no other clarification was offered.

    Whatever the case may be, Starfield seems to be a pretty big...

  • How Many Games Did You Complete in 2025?
    by Shawn Zipay
    Make up your own definition of "complete."

    Was 2025 a big year for game completions for you, or were you more of a "stick to one never-ending, live-service game for the entire year" sort of player?

    For this, you can take whatever definition you want as a game "completion." Beat the main story? Earned 100% of the game's achievements? Or simply played enough that you're satisfied with what you accomplished and have no plans to return any time...
