Band Together in Terror: The Outlast Trials Review
The Outlast Trials proves that survival horror can be more fun with friends.
The Outlast Trials is a four-player PvE game taking place in the Cold War era. The game's opening moments and lore paint a gruesome and wicked scene that will be familiar to series veterans but disquieting to those new to the Outlast universe. Players work their way through a series of experiments, each of which plays out on various large maps like a police station, a courthouse, a carnival, and more. The g...

TikTok Ban Signed Into Law by President Biden
Owner ByteDance has 270 days to sell off TikTok.
On April 24, President Joe Biden signed a foreign aid package that also included a bill that could ban TikTok in the United States. This ban can only be averted if the China-based company that owns TikTok, ByteDance, sells off the popular social media app before the 270 day time limit is up.
This gives ByteDance until January 19, 2025 to sell TikTok. An additional 90 day extension could be offered by President Biden if...

Counter-Strike 2 Is Way Better Than Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 3
The mordacious gunplay of Counter-Strike 2 feels remarkably gratifying in contrast to Call of Duty MW3 – not only due to players being furnished with an array of weapons with exclusive features, but also because each time you engage in combat, you’ve no idea how it’s going to turn out! Anyway, if we may offer one piece of advice: if you’re seeking a stimulating online shootout with high difficulty levels then look no further than Counter-Strike 2! Put aside all those ...

Activision Pulls Modern Warfare 3 Maps Due to Horrible Spawns
A number of multiplayer maps feature horribly bad player spawn locations.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 just came out today and already Activision has had to step in to remove a number of maps from the multiplayer. These maps were pulled because some of the spawn points often led to situations where players would repeatedly respawn at the same location, leading to an easy spawn camping farm for other players.
So far, Activision has pulled Quarry, Rundown, Scrapyard,... -

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... -

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?
No. Rockstar made a rather unremarkable announcement about "the next Grand Theft Auto" through their Newswire website and also via Twitter. The message was authored by Rockstar's Sam Houser and it is basically an announcement of... -
