All trailers will be properly labeled so fans know what they're seeing.

The head of Xbox marketing Aaron Greenberg said on Twitter that there will be no full CG trailers shown off during the upcoming Xbox Games Showcase. Greenberg states that none of the first-party games in the show are full CG trailers and that everything will be either in-game footage, in-engine footage, or a blend of in-game footage with some cinematics.

He continues on to say that each trailer will...

The two Hollywood stars will be your main protagonists.

The upcoming Alone in the Dark game, be it a reboot or otherwise, has enlisted the help of two Hollywood stars for the main playable roles. Those stars are Jodie Comer and David Harbour. They are lending their voices, likenesses, and acting to the roles of Emily Hartwood and Edward Carnby respectively.

Jodie Comer is perhaps best known for her roles in Killing Eve and Free Guy. You may recognize David Harbour from...

Gollum manages to be worse than a game with Vanilla Ice.

The Lord of the Rings: Gollum was released today and I'm willing to bet that this won't be the last time you hear about this game. No, I suspect that you'll hear a bit more about this game when it comes time for some outlets to talk about the worst games released in 2023.

Thus far, The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is sitting at just a 43% critic average on OpenCritic with only 5% of all critics actually recommending...

A first look at this PvP extraction shooter from Bungie.

The original Marathon trilogy of titles were first-person shooters set in a sci-fi universe that had a heavy emphasis on storytelling. They were games that were primarily all about the single-player campaign and the story, though there were some competitive multiplayer modes. The last game, Marathon Infinity was first released for Mac in 1996.

Fast-forward to 2023, some 27 years after the last game was released,...

Everything is going back to the beginning.

It seems like these days that everything is getting rebooted. I believe this all started when Microsoft released the Xbox One despite it being the company's third major console generation. Then there was Battlefield 1. Ever since then there have just been more and more franchise or series reboots.

Now, Mortal Kombat 1 was announced by Warner Bros. Games and NetherRealm Studios. This series reboot is expected to be released this...

A full reboot of the series kicks off this October.

The CI Games studio, HEXWORKS, have just announced when their upcoming dark-fantasy action-RPG Lords of the Fallen will be released. The spiritual successor / reboot is aiming for a release on October 13, 2023. It just so happens that it's a Friday the 13th. Oooh, spooky.

In addition to the release date being announced, there is word that Lords of the Fallen is now available for pre-order on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series...

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,...

The Head of Xbox assumes "full responsibility."

Blame Phil. Really, he said it's ok to blame him. For what? For the overwhelmingly negative response to the recent release of Redfall. And, which Phil are we blaming? Phil Spencer, of course. The Head of Xbox himself says that he takes "full responsibility" for that game and the everything that's wrong with it.

Spencer's noble self-sacrifice here was shared during a lengthy interview on the Kinda Funny...

Run, run as fast as you can...

It has been a little bit of time since we last got a good look at the upcoming Amnesia: The Bunker, but that all changes today. A 10-minute long gameplay video for the upcoming horror title from Frictional Games was shared. It gives just a little taste of the scares that await you in this totally normal World War I bunker.

The last we heard about Amnesia: The Bunker came a little under a month ago when word was shared that the game had been...
