Gears of War? Halo?! No, no, no, and no. Though Spencer did not specify what those four titles ...

    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: Starfiel...

    G FUEL Collabs with Friday the 13th

    They're offering a flavor that's to die for. Get it? Do you get it?

    G FUEL announces a new collaboration with Friday the 13th. Friday the 13th is a big franchise that had a decent asymmetrical multiplayer game at one point, so this seems at least tangentially related to gaming. Also, gamers drink G FUEL. I drink G FUEL and I play games. See? Full circle.

    The flavor is called Hack 'N' Slash Citrus Fruit Punch and will be available as part of a special Collector's Box on...

    Battlefield 2042 to Utilize New EA Anticheat in Season 6

    A new anti-cheat has entered the battlefield.

    Electronic Arts just announced that they are working on implementing their own anti-cheat (or anticheat), into their current and upcoming multiplayer titles. Much like the simply named EA app, EA's new anticheat is called EA anticheat. Yes, that lack of capitalization is correct and slightly frustrating to look at.

    Mortal Kombat Patch Coming to Fix Player 1 Advantage

    NetherRealm Studios says a patch is coming soon.

    This past week, a bug was discovered in Mortal Kombat 1 that unintentionally gives whomever is Player 1 an unfair advantage over their competition. The issue is that Player 1 is able to pull off combos that are impossible for Player 2 to pull off. It doesn't matter which direction the player is facing, only that they be Player 1.

    Obviously, this is a pretty severe issue for a fighting game that can be played competitively....
