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...

Persona 6, Kingdom Hearts 4, Fable, Penis Bird... All the heavy hitters are here!

In the early hours on Wednesday, August 9, a huge leak brought about by the Steam API spilled the beans on over 125 games. These titles had their achievement lists freely available for anybody with an internet connection to browse.

The situation becomes particularly intriguing when it is revealed that many of the titles mentioned in the leak had not yet been publicly announced. Even more...
 

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.

Today, Microsoft is laying off 2.1% of its workforce. This equates to 4,800 people that are being let go. The company's XBOX division is cutting about 20% of its entire workforce. All of this is being done in an effort to cut costs due to rising prices and expenses brought about by artificial intelligence (AI).

As a quick reminder: Microsoft plans to spend $190 billion on AI in 2026. In 2025, the company spent $80 billion...
 

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."...

The cybersecurity company Kaspersky has issued a warning about malware being spread through Steam Workshop files for Wallpaper Engine. Malware, hidden through user uploaded wallpaper packages, can lead to issues such as hijacked Steam accounts, the installation of backdoors to a user's PC, or even hidden crypto mining processes.

    Steam Next Fest Returns in October

    It feels like we just had a Steam Next Fest only yesterday.

    Hot on the heels of the recent June Steam Next Fest comes word that another Steam Next Fest is coming in October. From October 3 - October 10, Valve will host the Steam Next Fest: October 2022 Edition.

    It will once again offer studios the chance to share demos and early looks at their upcoming games that will be hitting Steam in the near future. For players, this means that there will be a ton of new and possibly...

    Diablo Immortal Pulls in $49 Million in First Month

    The game has also been downloaded over 10 million times.

    On June 20, we learned not only that Diablo Immortal's release in China was delayed, but also that the game already pulled in $24 million (USD) through microtransactions. That's how much the game made just in its first two weeks of availability. At the time, I guessed that Diablo Immortal would pull in about $50 million over the course of an entire month.

    Square Enix talks about some of the changes that make this more than just a remaster.

    This past June, Square Enix announced that they are working on a remaster for Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII that Square Enix is calling Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII- Reunion. Details were quite scarce at the time of the announcement besides the fact that Square is bringing this once PSP exclusive to the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, and PC.

    Remasters of Red Dead Redemption and GTA 4 Allegedly Canned by Rockstar

    The decision was made based on the poor reception to the GTA Trilogy remasters.

    This past weekend, Kotaku shared word that Rockstar Games cancelled plans to remake or remaster games like Red Dead Redemption and Grand Theft Auto 4 to focus on working on Grand Theft Auto 6. Apparently, this decision was made by Rockstar after the poor reception and disastrous launch of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition.

    A few years ago, Rockstar Games was apparently...

    Next Battlefield Might Bring Back the Single Player Campaign

    A job listing could hint at the return of the Battlefield campaign.

    A new job listing was recently spotted over the past weekend. According to said job listing, Battlefield Seattle Studio is looking for a design director that will "manage the design team and design vision of a new Battlefield campaign."

    This "Battlefield Seattle Studio" seems to be the studio being formed by Marcus Lehto. In December 2021, we learned that Lehto was forming a new st...

    The first update for Season 1 drops on July 6.

    DICE just detailed what is coming in the 1.1 update for Battlefield 2042. Rather, it's Update #1.1.0, just so we're super clear on this because those previous update versions were needlessly confusing.

    The 1.1.0 update will drop on July 6 and is the first update since the launch of Season 1 for Battlefield 2042. Some of the notable changes and fixes in this update include some new XP events for pilot kills, disarming mines,...

    EA Shows Off Pre-pre-pre-alpha Skate Gameplay

    Closed beta registrations are now open.

    The latest video for the upcoming Skate game shows off some very early gameplay footage. How early? Very. The footage says that what is being shown off is from a pre-pre-pre-alpha stage of development. Also, I guess this video confirms that the game will be simply called Skate (stylized as skate.) instead of Skate 4.

    Despite this early stage of development, the team wanted to show everyone what they've been up to since the game was...

    Sucker Punch Confirms That Sly Cooper and Infamous Games Not in Development

    It's like a studio confirming that they're working on a new game, but the opposite.

    Sucker Punch, the studio behind iconic franchises like Sly Cooper, Infamous, and the more recently released Ghost of Tsushima, is busy working on their next game. While we may not know yet what that next game is, we do know what it isn't.

    As the studio's 25th anniversary approaches, Sucker Punch took to their site to provide a little look back on their legacy and to flatly say that they...

    Codemasters, now flying under the Electronic Arts flag, just launched EA Sports F1 22 today. This is "the official game of the 2022 FIA Formula One World Championship." If you know, you know. If you don't, then you're totally in good company. Today's release has hit the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Origin and Steam.

    XIII Remake is Being Remade

    Once more, with feeling.

    XIII is a cel-shaded first-person shooter that first came out in 2003. Since then, the game pulled in a fair number of fans and supporters. The game had (at least at the time) a unique visual style, a comic-book style presentation, and none other than David Duchovny voiced the main character. There was a lot to love there.

    In 2019, Microids announced that XIII was getting a remake. Fans were happy up until the remake was released. Then they were...

    Square Enix and People Can Fly released Outriders Worldslayer today, marking the release of the first major expansion for the game that is more looter-shooter and less Destiny.

    Worldslayer adds in new story content that will find players traveling across the planet of Enoch and fighting all sorts of nasties. There are obviously new story missions, new places to explore, the endgame...

The goal of Stuntfest is to win a festival by turning your driver into a living bullet. Players will eject themselves from their vehicles and fly "hundreds of meters through the air."

    343 Industries says that the devs who would fix it are working on other things.

    An issue that has plagued Halo Infinite's multiplayer mode may not get fixed any time soon, or possibly at all. At seemingly random times, there will be some synchronization issues in multiplayer that lead to situations where melee attacks just flat out don't register. The client and server each think that the players are in different positions than what the player sees on their screen.

    For fans of Halo co-op experiences, the omission of the feature from Halo Infinite's launch did not go unnoticed. Developer 343 Industries said that network campaign co-op would come after launch and well, they seem to be sticking to that statement. Today, the studio shared some new information about Halo Infinite's campaign co-op experience.

    Arkane Offers a More Focused Look at Redfall

    Another video to again try to make sense of just what Redfall is and is not.

    Earlier in June, Arkane showed off some new Redfall gameplay footage during the Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase event. It seems as though the marketing for the game hasn't yet clearly conveyed to players what exactly the game is all about.

    For instance, despite all prior marketing talking about Redfall's co-op experience, we learned that only the host of a game will make progress in the campaign....

  • 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...
    I did not complete any game in 2025
