Valve Announces Counter-Strike 2

Valve's massively popular FPS gets an engine upgrade and a test starting today.

Valve officially announced Counter-Strike 2 today after weeks of teases, speculation, and rumors. The developer calls this "the largest technical leap forward in Counter-Strike's history" and I'm inclined to believe it.

Counter-Strike 2 will launch to everyone starting in Summer of 2023. Counter-Strike 2 will be a free upgrade to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Some Counter-Strike:...

Review: The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition

An easy purchase for new players but maybe a hard sell for existing owners.

It was not until I reinstalled the original PC release of The Outer Worlds that I was able to really appreciate the improvements made with the release of The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition. Initially, I believed that this looked exactly like the same game that I had played on PC back in late 2019 when it first came out.

    Gaming today is endless. With the introduction of the metaverse, gaming allows players to enter new worlds of their own, have immersive experiences, and a more interactive form of play than ever before.

    That headline almost reads as satire.

    Sony says that they will soon retire a PlayStation 5 launch feature that has gone largely unused. The system's Accolades feature will be killed off in Fall 2022 because there just hasn't been that many people making use of it.

    Blizzard to Potentially Sell Overwatch Skins for $45

    So long loot boxes, hello overpriced microtransactions.

    When Overwatch 2 launches later this year, the loot boxes we have all come to know and hate will be no more. Replacing the RNG-filled boxes will be seasonal Battle Passes and apparently some optional cosmetic microtransactions that will allow you to, presumably, buy the skins you want without delay.

    This all sounds super great, until you hear that Blizzard recently sent out a survey that seems to suggest they are...

    Nier: Automata's Mystery Door was an Elaborate Ruse

    It started with a door and ended in a way very few people expected.

It sent the community into a frenzy. How did that door appear? What is the meaning behind the church location behind the door?
