Report: E3 2023 is Canceled

Valve Announces Counter-Strike 2
Valve's massively popular FPS gets an engine upgrade and a test starting today.
Valve officially announced Counter-Strike 2 today after weeks of teases, speculation, and rumors. The developer calls this "the largest technical leap forward in Counter-Strike's history" and I'm inclined to believe it.

Sony's Jim Ryan Reportedly Said His Goal is to 'Block Your Merger' in Closed Door Meeting with Activision
The CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment reportedly had some choice words during a meeting with Activision.
It has been a ridiculous day for Sony when it comes to new details that have come out about the company's opposition to the Microsoft and Activision Blizzard merger.
First, a new report from The Verge's Tom Warren shared some key pieces of information from documents (PDF download) that were recently submitted to the UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA)....

Review: The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition
An easy purchase for new players but maybe a hard sell for existing owners.
It was not until I reinstalled the original PC release of The Outer Worlds that I was able to really appreciate the improvements made with the release of The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition. Initially, I believed that this looked exactly like the same game that I had played on PC back in late 2019 when it first came out.

Overwatch Goes to the Olympics - New Skins, Game Mode, and More
Blizzard updated Overwatch today with a bit of the Olympic spirit. Today's update includes a number of new skins, sprays, a new game mode, and more. The content is free and can be earned via the loot boxes. The individual items cannot be purchased separately either with real money or the in-game currency. That's right, it's all a matter of RNG as to what you get when you get a new level and loot box.
Starting today (and for the duration of the event), any new Loot Boxes you earn or... -

Galaxy in Turmoil Cancelled; Developer Mumbles Something About 'Fair Use' of Star Wars IP
Frontwire Studios, the small studio working on Galaxy in Turmoil, a planned action game based on leaked Star Wars Battlefront III content, have announced that the project is cancelled. Lucasfilm informed them that their use of the content won't really hold up well with t he actual Star Wars game license owner, EA. The team at Frontwire believes that their project, specifically the use of the Star Wars IP, fell under "fair use." They feel they are innocent of infringing on the Star Wa... -

Report: Inside is Coming to the PlayStation 4 in August
A Trophy list for Playdead's Inside was spotted over the weekend via Exophase. It raised some eyebrows as the game has been exclusive to the Xbox One and PC realms for a bit of time now.
However, sources close to VG247 have said with certainty that Inside will be released on the PlayStation 4 at the end of August.
I absolutely loved my time spent with Inside, giving it a near solid 5 out of 5 stars during a recent Week in Review. I also put up a full, unedited... -

Blizzard Issued Another Major Ban Wave Against Overwatch Cheaters, Enjoy the Salt

Virtus.pro Defeats Fnatic to Win ELEAGUE Season One Championship
The final has been played in the ELEAGUE Season One Championship and a winner has been decided. In a matchup between Virtus.pro and Fnatic, the winner in a 16-10 win on Cobble and a 16-8 run on Mirrage is Virtus.pro! The final map on Train never had to be played due to the sound victory. The win for Virtus.pro comes off of other quick two map victories over NiP on Friday and another two map victory over Mouseports for the semi-final matchup. The matchup certainly painted Virtus.pro as the hea...

The Death of the Message Board
We live in interesting time. Right now, we are in the midst of a transition from traditional media to the rise of YouTube "personalities," Twitch streamers, and everybody attempting to make a name for themselves in what is quickly becoming a saturated market. As a result, we have started to see the public, publishers, and developers giving preferential treatment to these new media formats instead of traditional media. This shift naturally means a shift in other areas as well. More and more publi...

Supremacy Mode Released for World of Tanks Blitz
World of Tanks Blitz players will get to dive head first into the new Supremacy mode today. Developer Wargaming released this "capture and hold" game mode for free to everyone playing the mobile focused title.
The premise of Supremacy is simple. Around each map, there are several bases to capture. Capturing these bases amasses points for a team. The more bases a team controls, the quicker points are accrued for them. To win, players can either reach 1,000 points, or, if destruction -

by Shawn ZipayDo you prefer consoles? PC? Maybe mobile is your preferred platform?
This month's poll is a bit generic if only because I really don't know what to ask right now and this is the easiest thing that came to mind. The question is simple: Which sort of platform do you prefer to play games on?

Maybe you prefer to spend most of your time on your phone playing this, that, or the other....Consoles (Ex: PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo, etc.)20.00%1PC (Including Steam Deck)80.00%4Mobile (Ex: iOS or Android phones/tablets)0%0Standalone VR (Ex: Meta Quest 2)0%0Other (Ex: No preference or maybe you play only at arcades or those handheld Tiger Electronic games)0%0-
