Review: 5-hour Energy Gamer Shot
You ever write a three-page review for an energy supplement?
In early May 2024, 5-hour ENERGY (hereto after shown as 5-hour Energy) released a new Gamer Shot line of energy drink supplements. We got some news about it because this is a video game website that posts video game related news. That is how these things work.

Band Together in Terror: The Outlast Trials Review
The Outlast Trials proves that survival horror can be more fun with friends.
The Outlast Trials is a four-player PvE game taking place in the Cold War era. The game's opening moments and lore paint a gruesome and wicked scene that will be familiar to series veterans but disquieting to those new to the Outlast universe. Players work their way through a series of experiments, each of which plays out on various large maps like a police station, a courthouse, a carnival, and more. The g...

TikTok Ban Signed Into Law by President Biden
Owner ByteDance has 270 days to sell off TikTok.
On April 24, President Joe Biden signed a foreign aid package that also included a bill that could ban TikTok in the United States. This ban can only be averted if the China-based company that owns TikTok, ByteDance, sells off the popular social media app before the 270 day time limit is up.
This gives ByteDance until January 19, 2025 to sell TikTok. An additional 90 day extension could be offered by President Biden if...

The Rise of Online Gaming in Arab Countries
Online gaming is now one of the most popular forms of entertainment in the world. If we take the 2020 worldwide online gaming revenue as a starting point, it was $21.1 billion, which is an incredible sum of money. Fast forward to 2023 and that figure stands at $26.1 billion, which is a growth of $5 billion over the space of three years. Much focus is given to the American and European online gaming markets, but we have also been seeing a rise in online gaming in Arab countries.

'20 Minutes' of Lords of the Fallen Gameplay
It's a long look, so grab a snack.
Hexworks just unveiled a "full 20 minutes" of gameplay footage for Lords of the Fallen, the studio's upcoming dark-fantasy action-RPG. The video clocks in at 17 minutes and 52 seconds. Now, I'm no geographer or nothin', but saying something is a "full 20 minutes" when it's clearly under 18 minutes sure is something.
Regardless, there's a lot of gameplay footage here. The video also features some narration describing... -

Squads in Battlefield 2042 to Improve in Next Update
Revolutionary new ideas still being added to Battlefield 2042.
When DICE "improved" the squad system in Battlefield 2042, they left a lot to be desired. I cannot even remember what exactly they did to improve it, but those improvements still failed to give much of any control to how your squad functions in the game. You were unable to lock your squad. You also couldn't kick anybody from the squad if, for example, a vacant slot fills with a random after your friend's game... -

Armored Core 6 Features a First for a FromSoftware PC Release
All the frames.
To put it bluntly, FromSoftware's releases on PC have been severely lacking when stacked up against the competition. First, there was Dark Souls which essentially needed the user-created DSfix that addressed the lacking internal resolution and other graphical issues. More recently there was Elden Ring where, although it's a fantastic game, it was capped to 60FPS and still to this day features severe hitching.
Perhaps that's about to change with FromSoftware's... -
