Amnesia: The Bunker Review (PC)

Frictional Games plays it safe. Perhaps a little too safe.

Frictional Games is known for crafting some of the most memorable horror game experiences over the past 15 years. They began with the Prenumbra series, a trio of titles that gave us our first taste of Frictional's penchant for blending survival horror with physics-based environmental puzzles. The studio then saw a spike in popularity with their next release, Amnesia: The Dark Descent. Amnesia: The Dark Descent expanded upon the...
 

After Us Review (PS5)

After Us offers a glimpse of our future and a warning of things to come.

A gaming experience where you engage in thoughtful introspection, wordless encounters, and some platforming across Earth's many diverse locations to undo the devastation caused by global warming sounds like an intriguing idea on paper. Its execution in After Us, however, leaves quite a bit to be desired. Some awkward platforming, poor combat, and performance woes will ultimately leave you feeling a little less...
 

Redfall is Arkane's Worst Game Ever

It's also the worst "AAA" developed title in recent memory.

It was a struggle to finish Redfall. It was an absolute struggle thanks to performance issues, technical deficiencies, crashes, broken A.I., and uninspired quest design. It was the antithesis of fun and I pushed myself to complete the game out of pure spite.

Prior to playing Redfall, I saw Arkane as a studio that could do no wrong when it comes to their output. Dark Messiah of Might and Magic in 2006...

Watch YouTube, take notes, chat, and more.

Valve just released a new beta update for Steam that includes a wealth of new features, updated old features, and some under the hood changes. While we don't typically write about updates released for the Steam Client Beta, this particular update had enough cool new features that it was worth a mention.

Right now, you can opt into the new beta for the Steam client that makes some drastic changes to the In-Game Overlay. Now, you...
 

UK Blocks Microsoft Activision Merger

The CMA claims the deal would harm cloud gaming.

Cloud gaming. Cloud gaming is the reason why the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) in the UK voted to block the $69 billion deal that would see Microsoft taking over Activision Blizzard.

The decision didn't come down to concerns over Call of Duty exclusivity or anything that would make some measure of sense. No, it came down to the CMA being concerned that the deal would "undermine new and innovative" competition...

    An Early Look at Cyberpunk 2077's Photo Mode

    V is very photogenic.

    Video games and photo modes. Name a more iconic duo. You can't, can you? I thought not. It should be obvious then that a game as pretty and as dystopian as Cyberpunk 2077 would also have a photo mode included.

    This photo mode was revealed to players today by way of a new video, seen below. In it, a developer at CD Projekt Red shows off some of what you can accomplish with the built-in photo mode. You can change poses, adjust the position of V, change...

    Development of Gambling and Video Games in Japan

    Japan has been the leader in game development for so long that some parts of the world believe all games are from this island country. The last few years haven’t been so kind to the gambling industry, though, since casino games from the west have become more prominent these days. That doesn’t mean Japanese consumers have totally deserted games developed by their own.


    Here’s why Japan is regarded as a leader in the gaming world; Nintendo arcade and Classic Sega were developed...

    How Gambling Has Impacted the Video Game Industry


    Some folks love playing video games, others like to gamble, many love both and sometimes at the same time. Today, gambling and gaming are so intertwined that we often use these words as synonyms with no distinction between them. It wasn’t always so, as maybe just a decade ago, there was a clear difference between playing high stake poker and shooting Nazi zombies while playing Sniper Elite. When did things start to mix to this point where gambling is becoming an integral part of video...

    Fallout 76: Steel Dawn Reveal Trailer

    Hot on the heels of last week's surprise release.

    Last week, a little whoopsie resulted in the Brotherhood of Steel showing up in Appalachia a bit earlier than expected for Fallout 76 fans. The content wasn't technically supposed to be out until this week, but an early release on the Xbox platform meant that Bethesda simply released it early for everyone else instead of rolling back the update on one platform.

    Today, we have a new trailer to share with you for this Steel...

    Video Game Loot Boxes - Another way to play?


    Loot boxes have become the centre of controversy ever since they began appearing as a standard feature in many video games. They have been equated with what is on offer at casinos – canadagamblingonline.com provides an excellent guide to the online gambling market in Canada and what is available – because they share characteristics of providing virtual games of chances, where the odds are stacked against the player in favour of the house. And they also appeal to the same psychological need...

  • What June 2023 Games Releases Will You Buy?
    by Shawn Zipay
    It's a fairly stacked month.

    May and into June is usually when the mid-year lull begins for new game releases. Yet here we are in June 2023 and there are some big games either already out or coming out in the weeks ahead.

    There are several games coming out this month, many of which you might call "bangers" that you might just happen to have your eye on. This month's poll is simple and probably a retread of a poll (or several) that have been done in the past....
