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.

    Amnesia: The Bunker Delayed Until May 23

    Delayed for polish and to distance itself from other games.

    Frictional Games is delaying the release of Amnesia: The Bunker until May 23, 2023. The reason for this is two-fold. First, the studio says that they want this extra time to further polish the game ahead of release. Second, the studio wants to "strategically avoid releasing during a busy week when multiple other games are hitting the market."

    Amnesia: The Bunker was already delayed once from March until...

    Cyberpunk 2077's New, Extremely Taxing Ray Tracing Mode is Here

    A mode to bring even the top-end RTX 4090 to its knees.

    Cyberpunk 2077 was updated today with a new and very, very demanding ray tracing option. Beyond the existing "Psycho" RT mode, players will now see an "Overdrive" mode that goes well above and beyond what you're used to seeing. This is the mode that utilizes path-tracing, which can otherwise be considered to be "full" ray tracing.

    While Nvidia says that any GPU with hardware ray tracing...

    Dead Island 2 Requires a Beefy CPU on PC

    If you run above 1080p/30fps, you're going to need a beefy CPU.

    The system requirements for the PC version of Dead Island 2 were shared earlier today. Deep Silver revealed the requirements alongside a technical FAQ that explains a bit on what players can expect.

    Some of the bits of information gathered from that FAQ are rather important details to know. For instance, Dead Island 2 will not support cross-play, but it will support co-op for up to three players. There will...

    What Are the Different Types of Online Slots?


    While the global iGaming market features a number of fun and immersive verticals, there’s no doubt that slots continue to dominate. This vertical certainly dominates the market’s gross gaming yield (GGY), while contributing the vast majority of games and titles.

    However, the slot niche is considerably more diverse than it’s initially given credit for. At Estafa.info, which reviews the best casinos to play online slots in the USA, you can find a brief breakdown...
