HexGaming Phantom PlayStation 5 Controller Review
In a market full of premium controllers, the Phantom manages to come out on top.
The PlayStation 5 DualSense is arguably one of the best first-party controllers to ever exist. This base PS5 controller already features amazing haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, motion controls, a touch pad, and a tried-and-true design that fits comfortably in most everyone's hands. Sony essentially combined some of the best features of the previous-generation PlayStation controllers and then added...

Review: 5-hour Energy Gamer Shot
You ever write a three-page review for an energy supplement?
In early May 2024, 5-hour ENERGY (hereto after shown as 5-hour Energy) released a new Gamer Shot line of energy drink supplements. We got some news about it because this is a video game website that posts video game related news. That is how these things work.

Band Together in Terror: The Outlast Trials Review
The Outlast Trials proves that survival horror can be more fun with friends.
The Outlast Trials is a four-player PvE game taking place in the Cold War era. The game's opening moments and lore paint a gruesome and wicked scene that will be familiar to series veterans but disquieting to those new to the Outlast universe. Players work their way through a series of experiments, each of which plays out on various large maps like a police station, a courthouse, a carnival, and more. The g...

TikTok Ban Signed Into Law by President Biden
Owner ByteDance has 270 days to sell off TikTok.
On April 24, President Joe Biden signed a foreign aid package that also included a bill that could ban TikTok in the United States. This ban can only be averted if the China-based company that owns TikTok, ByteDance, sells off the popular social media app before the 270 day time limit is up.
This gives ByteDance until January 19, 2025 to sell TikTok. An additional 90 day extension could be offered by President Biden if...

Finally, something that isn't scheduled for May 27th.
Today, as in right this second, you can play Maneater on PC via Steam, Xbox Game Pass, and even the Nintendo Switch. Though the game was available on the PC before today, it was locked to the Epic Games Store. We reviewed the initial release of the game back in June 2020 if you want to check that out. We found the game to be pretty decent, but nothing super great.

Techland to Hold a Dying Light 2 Special Event on May 27
Get ready for some fresh news about Dying Light 2 on May 27th.
This past week, Techland sent me a little package with some interesting goodies inside. Included in the package were a letter, a mini-poster, and a mini flashlight. Of course, this was a bit more than just a courtesy package. It looks to be the start of Techland's media push for Dying Light 2.
The flashlight turned out to be a blacklight. The included letter said that I'd have to hunt to know more. Putting... -

Seriously, where is his mustache?!
A new image for the upcoming Uncharted movie surfaced today courtesy of the New York Times. The image shows off both Tom Holland as Nathan Drake and Mark Wahlberg as Victor"Goddamn""Sully" Sullivan. The image shows the two, I don't know... infiltrating a castle? Perhaps an old cathedral? Maybe searching a museum? It's hard to tell. It's a place with a lot of candles.

Tired of seeing hot tub streams on Twitch? Well, tough! Because while they won't necessarily show up under the Just Chatting category on Twitch, they will now show up under the new "Pools, Hot Tubs, and Beaches" category instead. Yeah, it seems as though Twitch is embracing the sun, surf, and inflatable Pickle Rick flotation devices instead of banning them outright.
