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...

My new daily driver.
We are once again delving into the world of gaming headsets, this time with a spotlight shining brightly on Nacon's RIG 900 MAX HX.

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: Starfield is Fall...

Rumor: Spyro Trilogy Remaster Coming in 2018
A new rumor ignited by Kotaku and "multiple sources familiar with the project" say that Activision is working on a Spyro the Dragon Trilogy Remaster. You know, kind of like what they did with the stellar Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy? The rumor continues on to suggest that there will be an announcement made in March 2018 with a planned release for the third quarter of this year, presumably in September to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the first game's initial release date.

QuakeCon Returns in August
The 23rd annual QuakeCon now has a place and a date courtesy of Bethesda. That date is August 9 through August 12, 2018 and that place is none other than the Gaylord Texan Resort and Convention Center.
You're looking at three days of massive LAN parties, exhibits, panels, and presentations. I'm going to let the press release do the talking because it has the full details without any confusion.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Hit Injustice 2 Today
As we have reported a few times in the past, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are coming to Injustice 2. Rather, they are now in Injustice 2 as of today, at least for those that own the Ultimate Edition, Ultimate Pack, or the Fighter Pack #3. Apparently, you swap which turtle you play as simply by equipping the different weapons used by each of them. You already saw the trailer once before, but you're going to see it again because I said so. And probably because they didn't include any...

Valentine's Day Festivities Come to Final Fantasy XIV
Love is in the air. Somewhere. Not here, but somewhere. It's probably in Final Fantasy XIV though because Square Enix let us know that the Valentine's Day seasonal event is back.
The event is live right now and runs until February 15. Let's see what this literal love fest is all about.
The event, which is now live and comes to an end on February 15, offers enamored Eorzeans the chance to help out Lisette de Valentione and her entourage in exchange for a series of in-game... -

Hands On with Sea of Thieves (PC)
During the most recent beta for Rare's upcoming high seas pirating adventure, Sea of Thieves, I was fortunate enough to be given a key and test the waters for myself. My first go at the game included two of my friends and a random person teaming up for a four man crew aboard a large and worthy vessel. We collected our supplies from the port at which we spawned. Supplies that included bananas to help us replenish our health if needed, cannonballs to engage in piracy on the open waters...

Would you look at that. It seems as though Kingdom Hearts III may actually be a game after all. Square Enix just showed off a new trailer at the D23 Expo Japan 2018. You'll get to see characters and locations such as Monsters, Inc., Woody and Buzz from Toy Story, Ariel from The Little Mermaid, and more. There's action and story and it's all here in this new trailer. Assuming you don't understand Japanese, I suggest you enable the closed captions for the video so that you can understand ...
