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. These 5-hour Energy Gamer Shots are available in three flavors: Pineapple Charge, Rocket Raspberry, and Apple Bash. Unless things have suddenly changed in the fe...
 

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...
 

Ubisoft Pulls Licenses for The Crew, Makes the Game Completely Inaccessible to Buyers

From the same company trying to sell you a $130 version of Star Wars Outlaws.

From announcing a $130 edition of Star Wars Outlaws to pulling game licenses from those that bought The Crew, Ubisoft sure is on a roll this week.

The Crew was Ubisoft's open-world racing game that was pulled from sale back in December 2023. As of March 31, 2024, Ubisoft shut down the online servers for The Crew. This effectively made the game unplayable across all platforms, including: PC,...
 

Tim Sweeney Called Valve 'Assholes' in Email to Gabe Newell, Valve COO Says 'You Mad Bro?'

Tim Sweeney is always mad.

The antitrust lawsuit against Valve from Wolfire Games got a little spicy this week. To quickly get you up to speed: Wolfire claims that Valve uses its position with Steam to control game prices and muscle out competition. Though the initial lawsuit against Valve was dismissed, Wolfire amended their suit in May 2022 and the legal battle was back on.

It may have taken almost two years, but we are now starting to see some of the documents that...

  • Randy Pitchford Denies Battleborn F2P Rumor

    Randy Pitchford Denies Battleborn F2P Rumor

    Yesterday, Kotaku ran an article saying that Battleborn was going the free-to-play route soon. They cited an anonymous source that said the game was originally slated to be a F2P game but only ended up as a $60 retail release because of 2K.

    Last night, Randy Pitchford denied those claims that Battleborn was going F2P. He denied the claims but when he tried to explain further what exactly is happening with the game, he uh... well... it's kind of confusing?

    Twitch Updates Channel Page Layout, Upsets Everyone

    Twitch rolled out a new look for Channel pages today and people are, as you'd expected, kind of upset about it. Upon loading up a user's channel, you'll notice a few important things. First up, the game title is now below the viewing window. Depending on monitor resolution or window size, you cannot see the game title until you scroll down. Follower counts, video counts, follow button, and the subscription button are all now at the top of the page instead of being underneath the video player ...

    Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition Rated in Brazil for PC, PS4, and XB1

    Bulletstorm looks like it might be making a long-awaited return! A recent classification filing in Brazil lists a "Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition" for the PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.


    It looks to be published by Gearbox. The IP rights to the game are still owned by People Can Fly after they bought the rights back in 2015. The title certainly doesn't sound like a sequel but rather a remaster for current generation hardware. It also probably means that the...

  • Nidhogg 2 Announced with Axes, Bows, and a New Art Style

    Nidhogg 2 Announced with Axes, Bows, and a New Art Style

    In 2014, Nidhogg was first released. It was as much a strategy game as it was an action game. Two opponents faced off using only their wits and fencing abilities to make it to the end while their opponent tries the same but in the opposite direction.

    Cut to 2016 where Nidhogg 2 was just announced that looks to expand upon the ideas that made the original so damn fun to play. It also brings about a new art style that, in this journalist's opinion, looks terrible. ...

    Final Fantasy Trading Card Game Finally Coming to North America

    There has been a Final Fantasy trading card game that's been out in Japan for like six years and has had 15 expansions with 3.5 million booster packs sold. Did you know this? I didn't know this.

    With that said, Square Enix announced today that the Final Fantasy Trading Card Game (FFTCG) will finally arrive in North America on October 28.

    Nvidia Shows Off Titanfall 2 in 4K Resolution

    4K is the big gaming buzzword of 2016 apparently. The latest Nvidia blog focuses on what it takes to get Titanfall 2 running at 60FPS at 4K resolution. In fact, they even released a video of the game running at the aforementioned resolution.
    To experience that level of detail and fluidity at home, Respawn Entertainment is recommending gamers equip their systems with a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080, the only consumer graphics card capable of playing Titanfall 2 at 4K, at 60 FPS, at the time
