Counter-Strike 2 is Out Now

Counter-Strike is dead, long live Counter-Strike!

Without a press release in sight, Valve has launched Counter-Strike 2 to the world. This free-to-play release is available right now and will replace your current installs of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. True to Valve tradition, today's release is actually a little bit later than initially expected. During its initial announcement in March, Valve said Counter-Strike 2 would be out in summer. It is now fall, but they only missed...

  • No Season Pass for Mass Effect: Andromeda

    No Season Pass for Mass Effect: Andromeda

    While it's probably inevitable that Mass Effect: Andromeda will have DLC of some sort, at the very least it won't have a Season Pass to purchase. Either this means that some of the DLC will be free, or all of the non-cosmetic DLC will be free ala Titanfall 2 (probably not likely), or it will all be sold separately like with the previous games, or (most unlikely) there won't be any DLC for the game. BioWare's General Manager, Aaryn Flynn, gave this very clear responses on Twitter when asked ...

  • For Honor - New "Thin Red Path" Trailer and Beta Dates

    For Honor - New "Thin Red Path" Trailer and Beta Dates

    A new cinematic trailer for For Honor (that reads weird) was released by Ubisoft today. This trailer, "The Thin Red Path," also shines some light on when the closed beta is. That date is January 26. I just took away one reason for you to watch the trailer but you should still watch it anyway.

    You can head on over to the beta signup page for For Honor (still weird). The beta runs from the 26th until the 29th. The full game is slated to released on the most bloody and violent...

  • Injustice 2 Launches May 16

    Injustice 2 Launches May 16

    Both Ed Boon and the official Injustice 2 Twitter accounts confirmed the release date for the game.

    That date, in case you blindly clicked this without even reading the headline, is May 16, 2017. That is the release date for the Americas. The platforms? I'm going to assume that both the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4 are safe bets.

  • Microsoft Cancels Scalebound

    Microsoft Cancels Scalebound

    Scalebound was an action RPG in development by Platinum Games for the Xbox One. I say was because Microsoft has officially cancelled the project after spending about four years in development.

    The rumors started to swirl earlier today but all doubt was removed when Microsoft issued the following statement to the public.
    "After careful deliberation, Microsoft Studios has come to the decision to end production for Scalebound. We're working hard to deliver an amazing lineup

  • 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.
