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.

    Windows 11 Dated for October 5

    Yeah, it's coming in hot.

    Microsoft announced that Windows 11 will be released on October 5. As expected, this new release will be available as a free upgrade for those who are using eligible Windows 10 PCs, or those that purchase new hardware with Windows 11 pre-installed. Though I suppose if you're buying new hardware, that doesn't make the Windows 11 upgrade "free" but I digress.

    As with most updates from Microsoft, the free upgrade will be released in phases....

    Three Images from Resident Evil Film Reboot

    The gang seems to be (almost) all here.

    Sony released the first look at the characters for the upcoming Resident Evil film reboot. This isn't exactly the first time we have seen glimpses of the film. Back in December 2020, the film wrapped principal photography and we didn't hear much about the movie until now. However, this is the first time we've been given a good look at the characters we've come to know and love and uh, well... here they are.

    343 Industries Offers Reason why Halo Infinite's Campaign Wasn't at Gamescom

    Fans were left disappointed last week.

    Elden Ring will Still be Difficult Even with Summons

    In case there was any doubt about this.

    Hey imagine that, a FromSoftware game that's difficult. Wow, never saw that one coming.

If you are one of those Gamers who like a challenge and don't want it watered down by playing with a friend, don't you worry one little bit about that! FromSoftware says that the summon...

    Just in case you thought they were getting too serious with the reboot.

    Volition and Deep Silver recently revealed their reboot for the Saints Row franchise during Gamescom Opening Night Live.

    Yes, that Skate.

    EA just announced today that Skate (or is it Skate 4, or maybe skate.?) is also coming to the PC in addition to consoles. The confirmation was made via a short yet pretty clear tweet made earlier today.
