    From January 23 at 10AM (PT) through January 30 at 10AM (PT), the Steam Base Builder Fest will be held. As with most Steam Fests, this one will feature plenty of discounts on games, only...

    Colossal Cave, Out Now, is a Modern Take on the Text-Based Adventure

    Explore a giant cave full of secrets with or without VR.

    Explore a massive intricate underground cave system with today's release of Colossal Cave. This is a "3D interpretation of the original text adventure." For those too young to remember, many adventure games were presented only in text form way back in the day. They were aptly called text-based adventure games where you had to type in your commands or actions to play. The game worlds were created via text and your imagination....

    And the hits just keep on coming.

    Over the weekend, information was shared suggesting that The Callisto Protocol failed to meet sales expectations by a considerable margin.

    The NPD Group shared their sales information for December 2022 along with their full year 2022 details. The full year isn't all that exciting,...

    Forspoken Has Very High PC Requirements

    Better have the hardware, else you may be stuck with 720p at 30FPS.

    Square Enix just shared some new details about the PC system requirements for Forspoken. They are, without a doubt, very lofty in several different ways. Just to set the tone here, the minimum requirements here will get you only 720p and 30FPS.

    No matter if you are aiming for minimum, recommended, or ultra quality, everyone will need at least 150GB of free drive space. You are also looking at needing a...

    Destiny 2: Lightfall - A Fresh Look at Neptune

    A new trailer shows off more of those neon filled city of Neomuna.

    We were given our first look at Destiny 2: Lightfall back in August. Today, Bungie decided to share a bit more about a few aspects of that new expansion, but not too much. Today's focus is on Neomuna, a metropolis on Neptune, filled with big ol' skyscrapers and plenty of neon lights.

    The trailer, in addition to showing off all these pretty sights, also sheds some light (hah) on how Calus's invasion into...

  • 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.
