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...

XBOX: 1,600 Layoffs Today, Another 1,600 Over the Next Year, Four Studios Now Independent or Sold, Arkane in Limbo

More broadly, Microsoft is cutting 4,800 jobs.

PlayStation is Killing Physical Game Discs

Digital only after January 2028.

Starting January 2028, Sony will no longer produce physical discs for new PlayStation game releases. All games released in January 2028 and after will be available only through digital stores such as the PlayStation Store.

Sony attempts to justify this move by claiming it's a "natural direction" in order to "adapt to consumer trends as the general preference for digital media significantly outpaces physical discs."...

    Resident Evil Village PC VR Might be Happening

    Data miners have mined the data to discover some PC VR secrets.

    In early June, Capcom and Sony announced that Resident Evil Village would be coming to PlayStation VR2. It was expected that PC users would again lose out on a VR option for a Resident Evil game, just as the case was with Resident Evil 7's PlayStation VR exclusive release.

    Now, a Redditor going by LitheBeep took the time to dive into Village's files following the release of the Winters' Expansion DLC and found...

    Square Enix's 'Symbiogenesis' is NFT Project, Not a New Parasite Eve

    In case you wanted your hopes crushed, here comes Square Enix.

    Last month, Square Enix trademarked something called Symbiogenesis in Japan. Naturally, this led to a lot of speculation about what this could be. The strongest hope was that this was for some sort of a Parasite Eve revival, be it a new sequel or perhaps a remake, maybe even a reboot.

    Sadly, Symbiogenesis is none of those things. Instead, Symbiogenesis is the name of a new NFT collectible art project from Square...

    343 outlines proposed changes for the Winter update.

    Halo Infinite's multiplayer has a lot of problems. From the lack of content, to server stability, to the absolutely awful experience system. Thankfully, 343 Industries will tackle at least one of those issues with the upcoming Winter Update. Sure, 343 Industries did a bit of tweaking to this system in the past, but it really wasn't enough.

    Why Crypto and iGaming is a Match Made in Heaven

    The idea of cryptocurrency, as conceived when it first arose a little over a decade ago, and the reality as we see it in 2022, are two very different things. As interesting as crypto has come to be, it seems hard now to imagine a future in which it could be even close to replacing fiat currencies or competing as an alternative. As the world of technology evolves, though, there may be something in the idea of crypto being a payment method with applications in specialist areas. And perhaps no industry...

  • 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...
