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...

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...

    VAC is Now Banning Counter-Strike 2 Players that Set Their Mouse DPI too High

    Setting your mouse DPI settings too high? That's a ban.

    Valve Anti-Cheat (VAC) hasn't been doing too hot lately. First, the anti-cheat issued bans to those using AMD's Anti-Lag+ feature in Counter-Strike 2. Now, VAC is issuing bans for setting your mouse DPI too high.

    The issue with Anti-Lag+ was due to how AMD implemented the feature into a variety of games. It altered or hooked into game files, which is a big no-no when it comes to playing games that are supported...
