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...

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...

Activision Reportedly Hacked; 2023 Schedule for Call of Duty Leaked
Phishing is to blame for this latest infiltration.
According to leaked internal documents, Activision had a bit of a security breach on December 4, 2022. It was on this date where someone with high-level access to the internal Activision network was phished and their credentials used to access information that should have never been made public.

Marvel's Avengers Developer Apologizes for the Game
The apology comes from a former creative director at Virtuos.
Marvel's Avengers was not a great game. It was not quite what most would call "good" either. With active development of the game ending fully this year, it seems like it's time for some former employees to come forth and offer their thoughts on just how it all went wrong.
One such person to come forward with a comment is Virtosu Cezar, a former creative director at Virtuos. Virtuos was one of the support... -
