Valve Announces Counter-Strike 2

Valve's massively popular FPS gets an engine upgrade and a test starting today.

Valve officially announced Counter-Strike 2 today after weeks of teases, speculation, and rumors. The developer calls this "the largest technical leap forward in Counter-Strike's history" and I'm inclined to believe it.

Counter-Strike 2 will launch to everyone starting in Summer of 2023. Counter-Strike 2 will be a free upgrade to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Some Counter-Strike:...
 

Sony's Jim Ryan Reportedly Said His Goal is to 'Block Your Merger' in Closed Door Meeting with Activision

The CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment reportedly had some choice words during a meeting with Activision.

It has been a ridiculous day for Sony when it comes to new details that have come out about the company's opposition to the Microsoft and Activision Blizzard merger.

First, a new report from The Verge's Tom Warren shared some key pieces of information from documents (PDF download) that were recently submitted to the UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA)....
 

Review: The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition

An easy purchase for new players but maybe a hard sell for existing owners.

It was not until I reinstalled the original PC release of The Outer Worlds that I was able to really appreciate the improvements made with the release of The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition. Initially, I believed that this looked exactly like the same game that I had played on PC back in late 2019 when it first came out.

"I'm just not seeing what makes this Spacer's Choice Edition worth...

Experience the first Half-Life as you never have before.


A user-created mod for the original Half-Life brings some new visual splendor to the 1998 classic. Those with capable Nvidia GPUs can try out a mod that adds path tracing into Half-Life. The mod is free and, if you like a little modern eye candy in your classics, can be downloaded right now.

The mod utilizes a variation of the Xash3D FWGS engine along with a custom path traced renderer. So while this is technically...

    A small meet and greet was scheduled to take place at a small coffee shop in San Francisco next week. The meetup would take place near the Game Developers Conference...

    Disco Elysium Updated with Nifty Photo Mode

    Good cop? Bad cop? What about fab cop?

    A new mode was added to the stellar Disco Elysium today that allows players to create the photo opportunity of their dreams. So long as their dreams are entirely about the content within Disco Elysium.

    If you ever tire of solving dramatic mysteries or reading any of the dense, branching dialogue, you can now fire up Collage Mode. This new mode is a photo mode on steroids. It offers players "full access to characters, environments,...

    Far Cry 5 Receives 60fps Patch on Xbox and PlayStation

    You will need a newer generation console for this, of course.

    In honor of the game's fifth anniversary, Ubisoft rolled out a new 60fps patch for Far Cry 5. This update, out now on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S will allow you to run the game at a much higher framerate than what you were used to seeing on consoles.

    This 60fps update doesn't seem to include anything else. Meaning, you won't see any next-gen graphical bells and whistles here. I am reading from some users...

    Redfall Story Trailer

    There's more to Redfall than simply slaying vampires.

    If you thought that Redfall, the upcoming action title from Arkane Austin was purely about slaying vampires, you would be mistaken. Sure, there is a lot of that vampire slaying going on but there's also something a little extra going on. A little something that studios like to call "a story."

    The latest trailer for Redfall shares with us information about the game's plot. That plot that seems to involve a...

    Epic Games, the studio behind Fortnite, has been officially ordered to pay $245 million in refunds to players. This order comes from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) after the government body ruled that Epic Games utilized confusing button configurations that "tricked" players into making unwanted purchases.

  • Poll: What Platform Do you Game on the Most?
    by Shawn Zipay
    Do you prefer consoles? PC? Maybe mobile is your preferred platform?

    This month's poll is a bit generic if only because I really don't know what to ask right now and this is the easiest thing that came to mind. The question is simple: Which sort of platform do you prefer to play games on?

    Do you like playing on consoles? Do you prefer to play games on PC? What about mobile games? Maybe you prefer to spend most of your time on your phone playing this, that, or the other....
