  Six Days in Fallujah Publisher Now Says the game is 'Inseparable from Politics'

  Make up your minds.
  
  When the resurrection of Six Days in Fallujah was first announced, publisher Victura told Polygon that they weren't "trying to make a political commentary." Er, that's a really bold and stupid statement to make given how your game focuses on some of the most fucked up events of the Iraq War. Even ignoring the broader context, the game literally focuses on war. War is, by its very nature, political. There's no way around it.
  
  Cut to today when...

  This new hardcore mode should be welcome to those that feel as though the TTK (time to kill) has gotten to be a bit too high in the Cold War multiplayer...

  Ranking the Resident Evil Games

  For years, Resident Evil has dominated the survival horror genre. Heck, they are often credited with creating the genre in the first place. The first Resident Evil came out back in 1996 and once it did, the gaming industry was forever changed.
  
  In the 25 years since, developer Capcom released a fair number of new entries to the franchise, including some spin-offs, and even a couple of remakes. Today, we will take a look at the best of the mainline franchise releases and determine which...

  Valve Ditches Artifact 2.0

  Makes the original game F2P.
  
  Valve is giving up on the idea of Artifact 2.0. This was their attempt to perform drastic overhauls to Artifact after the game was deemed a failure by fans and developers alike. It was a reboot, of sorts. Valve says that they have "accomplished most of (their) game-side goals, (but they) haven't managed to get the active player numbers to a level that justifies further development at this time."
  
  So, development on the Artifact 2.0...

  The battle continues.
  
  This week, developer on The Sinking City, Frogwares, claims that the game's publisher, Nacon, illegally hacked a copy of their game and uploaded it to Steam.

  Marvel's Avengers is About to Make Level Grinding More of a Slog

  How do we retain players? I got it!
  
  On March 18, Marvel's Avengers will be updated in a number of ways. That is the date in which Hawkeye will be added to the roster. It will also be the date in which the game is given some next-gen improvements. That's the good news. The bad news here is that March 18 is also the date in which the team at Crystal Dynamics and Square Enix will revise the amount of experience needed in order to level up.
  
  In short, you will now need more...
