Counter-Strike 2 is Out Now

Counter-Strike is dead, long live Counter-Strike!

Without a press release in sight, Valve has launched Counter-Strike 2 to the world. This free-to-play release is available right now and will replace your current installs of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. True to Valve tradition, today's release is actually a little bit later than initially expected. During its initial announcement in March, Valve said Counter-Strike 2 would be out in summer. It is now fall, but they only missed...

Volition is Shutting Down Effective Immediately

After 30 years, the studio is being shut down.

Volition formed in 1993, with their first game coming in 1995. That game was none other than the widely acclaimed Descent, a first-person spaceship shooter. Volition went on to make several more games in the Descent franchise. Volition also created the PlayStation 2 RPG Summoner. They created Red Faction and several sequels. They also created the Saints Row franchise, up to and including the latest franchise reboot title, aptly named Saints...

    Wrestlin' Nation: Relive John Cena's Career in WWE 2K23

    See if you can do better than the wrestler himself.

    2K announced that their 2K Showcase "Never Give Up" mode for WWE 2K23 will let you relive some of the biggest points of John Cena's career. These moments tend to focus on the wrestling side of things, so you probably won't be reliving any aspects of his acting and musical careers, or his monumental work with the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

    What you will get to do is take on the role of John Cena's opponents in some...

You might have seen a news post or two about it on this very site. Even though Season 02 literally came out hours ago, it's never too early to talk about the next season, right?

    God of War Ragnarok Devs Didn't Know Allies Spoiling Puzzles Would Annoy You

    Sony's Santa Monica Studio called it an oversight.

    Developers working at Sony's Santa Monica Studio didn't realize that backseating companions would be annoying to players. None is the issue of backseating companions more evident than in Santa Monica's own God of War Ragnarök. Want a moment to look at a puzzle before attempting to solve it? Too bad because here comes Mimir or Atreus with an unsolicited hint.

    Earlier this week, MinnMax conducted an interview with God of...

    Just give me time to breathe, PLEASE!

    Having NPCs verbalize in-game hints on how to solve puzzles really isn't a new idea. There have long been clues provided on puzzle solutions be they spoken by other game characters, provided in the environment, highlighted with some "sense" ability, or something else. However, it sure does seem like those hints are coming a lot earlier and a lot more often in recent releases.

    Take God of War Ragnarök as one example. One of...

    Spider Defense Game Kill it with Fire Coming to VR

    Those with arachnophobia should just keep on walking.

    Kill it with Fire is a first-person game where you try to hunt down and kill virtual spiders. It came out in 2020 on PC, at least through Steam, and it's over the top action seemed to resonate well with fans. What if you took that same idea but now it's in virtual reality?

    This spring, a new "gritty indie 2D hi-bit pixel action-RPG" will hit the scene. It's called The Mageseeker: A League of Legends Story and it will take players with raising a mage army and leading a revolution. You know, simple stuff.

    This game is being by Digital Sun, the studio behind Moonlighter, and it's in development for PC and unspecified consoles.

    Gordon's fee is going to help the Red Cross Australia's work in Ukraine.

    Atomic Heart composer Mick Gordon says that he is donating his fee from the game to the Red Cross Australia's Ukraine Crisis Appeal.

    This comes after the game's developer, Mundfish, came under fire for supposedly using funding from sanctioned Russian organizations to develop Atomic Heart. Mundfish released a statement in January 2023 saying that they were "pro-peace." Mundfish continued...

    The Day Before Videos Delisted on YouTube as Devs Blame a Calendar App

    The Day Before devs share more excuses.

    The Day Before's future is still in question as developer Fntastic (not Fnatic) released another public statement about the whole trademark issue they're contending with. The latest from Fntastic comes to us from Twitter where the studio says that the trademark for The Day Before was picked up for use with a mobile calendar app.

    Though not directly stated by Fntastic in their Twitter statement, it seems pretty safe to assume that...

    Dead Island 2's Release Date has Changed Again

    This time, it's the total opposite of a delay.

    After being delayed several times already, one might expect that another news post about Dead Island 2's release date means yet another delay was announced. Thankfully, today's Dead Island 2 release date news is good! After slipping from a February 3, 2023 release to an April 28, 2023 release, it was announced today that Dead Island 2 will now be out on April 21, 2023!

    It's not a whole heck of a lot of time, but moving that...

  • Poll: Are You a Fan of Paying More to Play Early?
    by Shawn Zipay
    Get that Premium Edition and play three days early!

    Looks like the latest growing trend with game releases is to offer a more expensive Premium or Gold or whatever edition that grants you access to a game a few days ahead of its official release.

    Starfield did it with their $99.99 (USD) Premium Edition. Today, Payday 3 is doing an "Early Access" release with their Silver and Gold editions. Diablo 4 did the same thing earlier in the year, as did Madden NFL 24,...
    I don't mind. If people want to spend more to play early, let them!

    I think it's kind of dumb that people get to play earlier. Spending more shouldn't offer a "head start" on other paying customers.
