Happy birthday, Half-Life!

First up, Valve has made the original Half-Life free to keep to anybody that adds it to their Steam library this weekend. If you somehow do not own the original Half-Life, take this opportunity to add it to your account now and...
 

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...
 

It's Finally Over - Activision Blizzard Joins Xbox

As it turns out, this corporate version of Mr. Bones' Wild Ride does actually end.

Activision Blizzard King are now officially a part of Team Xbox. As of today, all Activision Blizzard studios and their teams are a part of the Xbox division at Microsoft. This also means that Activision Blizzard IPs such as Call of Duty, World of Warcraft, Overwatch, Candy Crush Saga, and hundreds more are now owned by Microsoft.

This entire saga of a tale began back on January 18, 2022...
 

Review: RIG 900 MAX HX Wireless Headset

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. Priced at $249.99 (USD), the 900 MAX HX aims to be a more premium and feature-filled offering than the RIG 600 PRO HS we recently reviewed. Featuring the same dual-wireless connectivity as the 600 PROs, the 900 MAX HX sets itself apart thanks to Dolby Personalized audio support with Dolby Atmos 3D, plus a charging base station, a more...
 

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...

    Review: Nex Machina


    A modern Robotron is alive and well in 2017 and it is glorious.

    Nex Machina hits all the right notes with its modern twist on a classic gaming experience. Inspired by games like Robotron 2084 and Smash TV, Nex Machina combines the best elements of prior twin-stick shooters with impressive sci-fi visuals, an adrenaline pumping electronic soundtrack, tough as nails boss encounters, and a perpetual desire to play "just one more level." I dare say that Nex Machina is one...

    Call of Duty has a Really Bogus "Days of Summer" Trailer

    I "get" what they were going for with this trailer, but that doesn't mean it's good. The new trailer for the "Days of Summer" content and event for Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered is like totally bogus dude.

    Watch Dogs 2 Getting Largest Free Multiplayer Update in July

    Come July 4, Watch Dogs 2 will be graced with the largest free multiplayer update ever. To be frank, I didn't know that the game had any updates to its multiplayer previously, so calling it the largest probably isn't any sort of stretch. Huh, according to the Ubiblog, the game has actually received five free updates and has three DLC releases. Who knew? Regardless, this update will include new missions, weapons, outfits, vehicles, map locations, and modes for the online multiplayer. Pe...

    Console owners won't be the only ones who get a new Assassin's Creed game this year. Those on mobile devices with either iOS or Android will get to experience Assassin's Creed Rebellion. It features characters that look like they're ripe for the Funko Pop treatment right out of the gate.

    But hey, this game will be free and I can't complain about that in the slightest.

    Both Microsoft and Sony announced their lineup of "free" games for July 2017. These games are available to those that subscribe to Xbox Live Gold and PlayStation Plus respectively.

    On the Xbox side, we have Grow Up, Runbow, Kane & Lynch 2, and LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game. Keep in mind that the first two games are Xbox One only but all four can be played on the Xbox One thanks to backwards compatibility. I feel sorry for anybody that expects Kane & Lynch 2...

    Arkane Studios President Leaves Company

    Raphael Colantonio, the President of Arkane Studios, announced his departure from the company today. To cut off any poorly thought out conspiracies right out of the gate, Colantonio says right out of the gate that he's leaving in order to spend more time with his son.
    The last 18 years have been an amazing adventure - from starting Arkane in 1999, to making our first game, Arx Fatalis, to joining ZeniMax Media in 2010 and releasing the Dishonored series and Prey to critical acclaim

    by Shawn Zipay
    2023 has been a banger year for new game releases.

    2023 has already been an absolutely incredible year when it comes to new game releases. In 2023 alone, Metacritic lists 25 game releases that have amassed an average score of 90 or higher. The previous best year, again according to Metacritic, was back in 2011.

    Let's just take a little glimpse at some of the games that came out this year that scored a 90 or higher. We had Baldur's Gate 3 in August, The Legend of Zelda:...
