  Remedy Now Controls the Alan Wake IP

  Alan Wake teases more platforms.
  
  Remedy Entertainment has regained the publishing rights to the Alan Wake franchise from Microsoft.
  
  The development studio is currently working on Control, but they apparently found a bit of time to acquire the rights to the horror-action romp starring an author. The company told investors that they would earn €2.5 million on royalties for "previously released games" this fiscal year.
  
  Alan Wake was released back...

  Planet Explorer Devs Lose Multiplayer Code in Server Crash

  Make backups.
  
  Planet Explorers is an older title from the same development studio that brought us the relaxing and enjoyable My Time at Portia. Planet Explorers came out in late 2016 from Pathea Games. It is an open-world sandbox RPG. It had the usual stuff that players have come to expect from open-world sandbox games. There were survival elements, combat, building, crafting, and the sort. The game's primary focus was a Story Mode that was a-ok for those seeking that sort of a single...

  Review: The Sinking City (PC)

  That sinking feeling.
  
  Frogware's The Sinking City is perhaps the best love letter to Lovecraft that we have seen in quite some time, but that may not be saying much. This most direct competition to The Sinking City was 2018's Call of Cthulhu, which really failed to capitalize on any single gameplay aspect. The Sinking City, on the other hand, at least manages to excel in one or two key areas, even if it barely stays afloat in others.
  
  The city of Oakmont is the main location...

  Halo: Reach Running on a PC in 4K and 60fps Looks Fantastic

  It begins.
  
  The first wave of invites have gone out to a very small group of individuals selected to test Halo: Reach on the PC. Those who have been selected will have access to a single mission in Halo: Reach from today until July 1.
  
  When I say that it was a "small group" that was selected, I mean it. As in the vast majority of people who have signed up as a Halo Insider have not been selected. 343 Industries notes that they picked a handful of people that have...

  Dr. Disrespect Unbanned from Twitch Just Two Weeks After Livestreaming in Bathroom

  Twitch rule enforcement continues to be a joke.
  
  Twitch has lifted the suspension on Dr. Disrespect after just two weeks into the already tame one month ban that was initially imposed on the streamer. The ban was initially handed out hours after the two-timer and his camera crew filmed a minor using a public restroom during a live E3 2019 stream.
  
  It was the first day of E3 when multiple thousands of viewers witnessed the incident. Guy "Dr. Disrespect" Beahm was...
