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...
 

Massive Steam Leak Spoils Story and Achievements for Dozens of Games, Some of Which are Not Even Announced

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."...
 

GTA 6 Starts at $80 with a $100 FOMO Edition and with No Physical Disc Release

And single-player only.

Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive Software sure set the gaming news world on fire today with word that Grand Theft Auto 6 will retail at a minimum of $80. Not only will there be the base $79.99 edition for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, but there will also be a Grand Theft Auto 6: Ultimate Edition for $99.99 that adds in exclusive content.

Right out of the gate, we are told that Grand Theft Auto 6 will be single-player only. Well, at...

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.

    Starfield and Redfall Delayed Until 2023

    This is not completely unexpected.

    Bethesda took to Twitter today to announce that both Starfield and Redfall have been delayed. The games will no longer launch within 2022 and are now expected to be released in the first half of 2023.

    Redfall is the open-world, vampire-slaying, co-op game that is in development at Arkane Austin. We really haven't seen much about the game since it made its debut at E3 2021, even though it was supposed to be out some time this Summer....

    Dying Light 2 Story DLC Delayed

    The season of delays is upon us again.

    Techland tweeted out some unfortunate news earlier today. The first planned story DLC for Dying Light 2 Stay Human has been delayed. The new story content is now expected to be released in September.

    Techland says that they simply need more time to develop the new content. That is pretty much the entirety of this.

    To keep fans occupied until September, there will be some smaller bits released in the months preceding it....

    Deathloop Updated with Photo Mode and FSR 2.0 Support

    Plus plenty of accessibility features have been added or tweaked.

    An update for Deathloop was just released that adds in a new photo mode, adds in AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 2.0 support, and includes UI, HUD, and several accessibility options.

    As announced just yesterday, Deathloop is the first of a handful of games confirmed to utilize AMD's new FSR 2.0 upscaling technology. The latest implementation of the upscaling tech promises to deliver better visual quality...

    First Games to Use AMD's FSR 2.0 Upscaling Announced

    Besides Deathloop.

    In June 2021, AMD launched the 1.0 release of what they call FidelityFX Super Resolution. This was kind of AMD's answer to Nvidia's DLSS technology, except it did not require the use of special hardware and could be used by graphics cards dating back several generations. FSR allows users to upscale an image to provide them with better performance while still looking kind of good.

    FSR 1.0 isn't perfect, nor does it do as good a job as DLSS, but it did...

    Elden Ring Sold 13.4 Million Copies in First Month

    This is officially FromSoftware's most successful game to date.

    The final tally is in, and it seems like Elden Ring sold over 13.4 million copies in a bit over its first month of availability. This makes Elden Ring the best selling FromSoftware title of all time.

    Of course, we kind of already knew this. We previously heard that Elden Ring sold over 12 million copies in its first three weeks of availability. That means that an additional 1.4 million copies were sold over...

    2001 Build of Duke Nukem Forever is Available for Download

    You're right, it's not yet June.

    Word about the 2001 build of Duke Nukem Forever being leaked out into the wild just earlier this week. At the time, the leaker known by the handle of "x0r" said that they would probably release this build in June some time. Until June, all we would have to tide us over would be a handful of screenshots and short video clips.

    As it turns out, June came early this year as the unfinished build of Duke Nukem Forever is now available...

    Wolfire's Antitrust Lawsuit Against Valve is Back On

    Wolfire's amended lawsuit is given the greenlight by the court.

    In April 2021, Wolfire Games filed a lawsuit against Valve. The lawsuit claimed that through Steam, Valve somehow suppresses the competition. The lawsuit was dismissed in November 2021 because it failed to meet necessary standards for the court. Wolfire had 30 days to amend their complaint and refile it. They did just that and a judge has now ruled that the case may move forward.

    The original lawsuit from...

    Epic Settles with Fortnite Cheat Seller, Donates Money to Charity

    A real win on all fronts.

    Epic Games recently filed a lawsuit with the Federal Court of Australia against a Fortnite cheat seller. Brandon "BlazeFN" Despotakis was accused of selling Fortnite cheats as well as in-game accounts to other players. Epic filed suit against him in April 2021.

    A ruling by the court found that Despotakis violated the Fortnite EULA and terms of service. The cheats sold include aimbots.

    He was also found guilty of infringing...

    EA Announces EA Sports FC to Replace FIFA Games

    Who needs FIFA? Not EA apparently.

    It's no surprise that EA and FIFA haven't seen eye to eye over these past several months. FIFA wanted to charge EA a cool $1 billion (USD) every four years to continue using the FIFA license. EA balked at the idea, citing the cost and creative restrictions as the reason, and decided to part ways from FIFA going forward.

    Today, EA officially announced that after the release of FIFA 23, the studio will officially change the name of their...

It essentially combines all of the patches, balancing, stability fixes, and improvements made to the game since its initial release roughly eight years ago. It also includes the content from two major updates: Anniversary...

    2001 Build of Duke Nukem Forever Might be Released in June

    A leaker wants to get this out to the public.

    For better or worse, Duke Nukem Forever sure is a video game. At one point, however, it was an almost completely different game. A version of Duke Nukem Forever that was shown at E3 2001 ended up being nothing like the final release that Gearbox put out in 2011. If you need some sort of a reminder of 2011's release, I did write a review for Duke Nukem Forever (the images are long gone). At the time, I found it to be rather mediocre as did...

  • 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...
