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...
 

It's Finally Over - Activision Blizzard Joins Xbox

Review: RIG 900 MAX HX Wireless Headset

My new daily driver.

We are once again delving into the world of gaming headsets, this time with a spotlight shining brightly on Nacon's RIG 900 MAX HX. Priced at $249.99 (USD), the 900 MAX HX aims to be a more premium and feature-filled offering than the RIG 600 PRO HS we recently reviewed. Featuring the same dual-wireless connectivity as the 600 PROs, the 900 MAX HX sets itself apart thanks to Dolby Personalized audio support with Dolby Atmos 3D, plus a charging base station, a more...
 

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...

    Roiland to soon stand trial on felony domestic violence charges.

    Squanch Games, the studio behind High on Life, have parted ways from co-founder Justin Roiland. Roiland submitted his resignation from the studio earlier this week. This comes in the same week that Adult Swim cut ties with Roiland. Both Rick and Morty from Rick and Morty will be recast and co-creator Dan Harmon will take over as showrunner.

    This all came about after it was revealed that Justin Roiland has...

    Terminal Velocity Gets a New Lease on Life

    Time to party like it's 1995.

    In 1995, a little 360-degree combat flight shooter came out called Terminal Velocity. That game was developed by Terminal Reality and published by 3D Realms, and wow was it ever a great time playing that on school computers back in the day.

    Now, a whole new generation of students can play Terminal Velocity on school computers. This is all thanks to Ziggurat Interactive that are readying the release of Terminal Velocity: Boosted Edition. This...

    The Day Before Delayed Again for Another Dubious Reason

    Just another excuse from developer Fntastic.

    The Day Before is (allegedly) an upcoming Unreal Engine 5 powered open-world zombie survival MMO. It's (allegedly) in development by Fntastic, a studio with a less than stellar reputation. Still, The Day Before ended up becoming one of Steam's most wanted titles for a while after its initial reveal and the small handful of subsequent media releases.

    The Day Before has already been delayed at least once, with the reason being...

    Changes are coming, but details are kind of scarce.

    On the Final Fantasy XIV (14) hub site, Lodestone, an announcement was made saying that there are changes coming soon for purchases and subscriptions. Square Enix says that they are planning to change their payment processor in late February. This will impact subscriptions and purchases made through the Final Fantasy 14 Mog Station, Online Store, and Square Enix Account Management sites.

    I think this whole Last of Us thing might be kind of popular.

    It looks like The Last of Us HBO series is pulling in quite the crowd. We already know that the debut episode did exceptionally well for the network, but there was another added boon. Sales of The Last of Us Part 1 and The Last of Us: Remastered are up 322% in the UK.

    Critical Consensus: Forspoken

    I'm somewhere that's not what I would call Earth, I'm seeing freakin' dragons, and oh yeah I'm in a kind of bad game.

    The reviews for Forspoken started to come out today and wow, they are not good. They aren't exactly terrible, but for a game that has been sitting in the spotlight for so long, the scores this game is receiving cannot be what Square Enix was hoping for. Forspoken sits at a 69% average on OpenCritic, and what critics have been saying are not painting a very pretty picture...

    Season 02 of Modern Warfare 2 to Include Hardcore Mode and Several Warzone Changes

    New details on the second season came out over the weekend.

    Infinity Ward says that a Hardcore game mode is coming to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 when Season 02 drops on February 15. They didn't say much about the Hardcore mode outside of there being no in-game HUD. Hardcore also typically enables friendly fire and lowers the time to kill (TTK), but those features have yet to be confirmed for this particular Hardcore mode.

    When it comes to the DMZ, we know that there...

    2023 has been a banger year for new game releases.

    2023 has already been an absolutely incredible year when it comes to new game releases. In 2023 alone, Metacritic lists 25 game releases that have amassed an average score of 90 or higher. The previous best year, again according to Metacritic, was back in 2011.

    Let's just take a little glimpse at some of the games that came out this year that scored a 90 or higher. We had Baldur's Gate 3 in August, The Legend of Zelda:...
