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.

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...

    This seems like a really cool addition to the Dirt franchise. Starting with Dirt 4, you will be able to have new rally stages generated for you. This should, in theory, provide a near limitless number of fresh tracks to both race on and share.

    Codemasters and Koch Media are calling it "Your Stage" and with just a few button presses, you'll have your generated track all ready for you to play.
