Amnesia: The Bunker Review (PC)
Frictional Games plays it safe. Perhaps a little too safe.
Frictional Games is known for crafting some of the most memorable horror game experiences over the past 15 years. They began with the Prenumbra series, a trio of titles that gave us our first taste of Frictional's penchant for blending survival horror with physics-based environmental puzzles. The studio then saw a spike in popularity with their next release, Amnesia: The Dark Descent. Amnesia: The Dark Descent expanded upon the...

After Us Review (PS5)
After Us offers a glimpse of our future and a warning of things to come.
A gaming experience where you engage in thoughtful introspection, wordless encounters, and some platforming across Earth's many diverse locations to undo the devastation caused by global warming sounds like an intriguing idea on paper. Its execution in After Us, however, leaves quite a bit to be desired. Some awkward platforming, poor combat, and performance woes will ultimately leave you feeling a little less...

Redfall is Arkane's Worst Game Ever
It's also the worst "AAA" developed title in recent memory.
It was a struggle to finish Redfall. It was an absolute struggle thanks to performance issues, technical deficiencies, crashes, broken A.I., and uninspired quest design. It was the antithesis of fun and I pushed myself to complete the game out of pure spite.
Prior to playing Redfall, I saw Arkane as a studio that could do no wrong when it comes to their output. Dark Messiah of Might and Magic in 2006...

UK Blocks Microsoft Activision Merger
The CMA claims the deal would harm cloud gaming.
Cloud gaming. Cloud gaming is the reason why the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) in the UK voted to block the $69 billion deal that would see Microsoft taking over Activision Blizzard.
The decision didn't come down to concerns over Call of Duty exclusivity or anything that would make some measure of sense. No, it came down to the CMA being concerned that the deal would "undermine new and innovative" competition...

Peter Moore Leaving EA to Become CEO of Liverpool FC
EA's Peter Moore is saying farewell to the gaming industry in a rather unusual way. Liverpool Football Club (Liverpool FC) announced today that Moore will take on the role of CEO for the organization starting this Summer. That's right, the big boss at EA Sports will be going from being "in the game" to actually being in the game.
The 61-year-old is currently chief competition officer at Electronic Arts, based in the United States, and will move to Liverpool to join the club in the... -

Middle-earth: Shadow of War Announced
Talk about a surprise to end all surprises: WBIE announced the sequel to Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor today. Shocking, isn't it? Totally shocking.

As expected, the sequel sees Talion and Celebrimbor returning as they "go behind enemy lines to turn all of Mordor against the Dark Lord, Sauron."

Rumor: Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor Sequel Leaked by Target
Earlier today, the Target website may have accidentally leaked the next Middle-earth title from Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. The first game, Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor was largely enjoyed by many critics and consumers alike, so it makes sense that a sequel was coming.
The search results on the Target site (since removed) showed off Middle-earth: Shadow of War. This included two different box arts, one for the base game and one for a "Gold Edition" of the game.... -

Rumor: Shenmue HD Remasters Coming in 2017
A new rumor surfaced this week saying that there will be HD remasters coming for both Shenmue and Shenmue 2. This is according to a "trusted source close to Atlus USA."
This rumor is essentially an update to an earlier rumor that began last year when Sega hinted that a Shenmue HD remaster was potentially coming. Sega even went so far as to register the ShenmueHD.com domain. It's probably a safe bet that if this rumor pans out, we will see the games released prior to th... -

PSA: Razer Sponsorship Scam
If you received an email from Razer recently that talks about a new sponsorship opportunity, you may want to check out the URL before you go clicking.

by Shawn ZipayIt's a fairly stacked month.
May and into June is usually when the mid-year lull begins for new game releases. Yet here we are in June 2023 and there are some big games either already out or coming out in the weeks ahead.
There are several games coming out this month, many of which you might call "bangers" that you might just happen to have your eye on. This month's poll is simple and probably a retread of a poll (or several) that have been done in the past....Street Fighter 60%0Amnesia: The Bunker0%0Diablo 450.00%1Aliens: Dark Descent0%0Final Fantasy 16100.00%2AEW Fight Forever0%0Crash Team Rumble0%0-
