From the same company trying to sell you a $130 version of Star Wars Outlaws.

Tim Sweeney is always mad.

The antitrust lawsuit against Valve from Wolfire Games got a little spicy this week. To quickly get you up to speed: Wolfire claims that Valve uses its position with Steam to control game prices and muscle out competition. Though the initial lawsuit against Valve was dismissed, Wolfire amended their suit in May 2022 and the legal battle was back on.

It may have taken almost two years, but we are now starting to see some of the documents that...

    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...

    Grand Theft Auto 6 Announced, Trailer in December

    Last night, a Bloomberg report went up that said Rockstar was readying an announcement and reveal of Grand Theft Auto 6. At long last, the wait would be over! Would we see a logo? An official screenshot? Maybe even a trailer?
