Alan Wake 2 Review: A Must-Play Psychological Horror Experience

Easily, the best horror game in years.

In 2010 Remedy Entertainment released Alan Wake, a game where a writer is pulled into a horrifying world seemingly of his own creation. Alan Wake was a game that I bounced off at least two times. Despite the game being well received by critics and fans, I felt like its gameplay was just a repetitive slog that even its unique story could not overcome. When a sequel was announced by Remedy, I found myself extremely indifferent to the news. Still...

My new daily driver.

We are once again delving into the world of gaming headsets, this time with a spotlight shining brightly on Nacon's RIG 900 MAX HX. Priced at $249.99 (USD), the 900 MAX HX aims to be a more premium and feature-filled offering than the RIG 600 PRO HS we recently reviewed. Featuring the same dual-wireless connectivity as the 600 PROs, the 900 MAX HX sets itself apart thanks to Dolby Personalized audio support with Dolby Atmos 3D, plus a charging base station, a more...
 

Review: Starfield

A safe, if not soulless, journey through the cosmos.

Bethesda Game Studios releases are safe. They are familiar. You know almost exactly what to expect when a major new release from them rolls around. They instill a feeling of "I know this game won't be groundbreaking, but I know I'll have fun." Yes, there are some obvious differences, but the heart of each Bethesda game is almost universally the same. The recent release of Starfield is no different. To put it bluntly: Starfield is Fall...

    Epic Games Age Restricts Fortnite Cosmetics in Latest Update

    Fans aren't too thrilled.

    A new update for Fortnite is out and the fan response is an almost total 180 from the Fortnite OG update from a few weeks back.

Today, a new update was released that has the community literally cursing Epic Games and their attempts at making Fortnite more "PG."

    The update includes only some of the planned changes.

    The Patch 1.33 for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is out now for all platforms. However, while the update changelog is rather beefy, the actual update does not include all of the changes that you may have been hoping to see.

    Activision took to Twitter to say that "due to unforeseen issues" this update does not include some of the changes that were set to be included in this update. These omitted updates...

    505 Games Parent Company, Digital Bros, Lays Off 30% of Staff

    The latest in what has been a terrible year for games development.

    Digital Bros, the parent company that owns publisher 505 Games, announced plans (PDF) to reduce its workforce by 30%. These cuts will be made across a variety of owned studios under its belt. Those with a vested interest in the company should be thrilled to hear that Digital Bros expects "no significant impact" on their financials for 2023-2024 as a result of these layoffs.

    AMD to Release Two New X3D Zen 3 CPUs

    The 5800X3D was just the start.

    Those still on AMD Socket AM4 motherboards probably have no reason to make a major upgrade to AM5 hardware just yet. This is especially true with how AMD keeps offering new Zen 3 models in its X3D series. According to a reliable leaker chi11eddog and relayed by TechPowerUp, AMD will soon release the Ryzen 7 5700X3D and the Ryzen 5 5500X3D.

    These new X3D processors, though built on the older Zen 3 microarchitecture, feature the newer 3D...

    Remedy Ditches Codename 'Vanguard' Free-to-Play Plans

    Free-to-play deemed just too risky.

    Remedy Entertainment announced their plans to reboot a project known only as codename Vanguard. This upcoming title was set to be a free-to-play multiplayer game, with next to nothing else known about it. This reboot comes with several significant changes, the least of which is a change in the codename from Vanguard to Kestrel.

    The bigger change is the fact that the plan for a free-to-play game has been ditched with a shift to making...
