  A nothingburger has more to offer than this.

  Doom 2 RPG PC Port Released

  Fans have ported over this mobile game for all to enjoy.
  
  Doom RPG is a damn amazing mobile game that I spent far too much time playing during my college lectures. This turn-based take on the classic Doom formula came out way back in 2005. I wasn't the only one to enjoy that first game as it earned itself high praise from critics and fans and sold well enough to warrant a sequel, Doom 2 RPG.
  
  Doom 2 RPG took what made the first game so great and expanded upon the formula...

  Redfall's First Update Lacks the Performances Fixes You Want

  The troubled game's first update is quite lacking.
  
  An update for Redfall made its way to the PC version of the game earlier today. Those of you downloading the several gigabyte update were probably hoping to see some fixes included for the game's myriad of technical issues. Maybe a fix for the poor CPU and GPU utilization, and overall generally poor performance? Maybe fixes for the shadows, or broken AI, or broken animations, or ragdoll glitches, or poor textures, or floating geometry,...

  Maybe it's the hype surrounding the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 or for IEM Dallas 2023 later this month. Maybe it's because Valve launched the Paris 2023 Viewer Pass and autograph capsules this week. Maybe it's because people are getting...
