Control Resonant Review

The Hot Dog Incident is the least of your worries.

When Remedy Entertainment released the original Control, it redefined how strange and compelling an action game could be. Seven years later, the studio has returned with Control Resonant, which officially launched on September 24, 2026. Stepping away from the claustrophobic, ever-shifting corridors of the Oldest House, the sequel thrusts players directly into the chaotic streets of Manhattan. While it carries forward the brilliant super...

XBOX: 1,600 Layoffs Today, Another 1,600 Over the Next Year, Four Studios Now Independent or Sold, Arkane in Limbo

More broadly, Microsoft is cutting 4,800 jobs.

Today, Microsoft is laying off 2.1% of its workforce. This equates to 4,800 people that are being let go. The company's XBOX division is cutting about 20% of its entire workforce. All of this is being done in an effort to cut costs due to rising prices and expenses brought about by artificial intelligence (AI).

As a quick reminder: Microsoft plans to spend $190 billion on AI in 2026. In 2025, the company spent $80 billion...
 

PlayStation is Killing Physical Game Discs

Digital only after January 2028.

Starting January 2028, Sony will no longer produce physical discs for new PlayStation game releases. All games released in January 2028 and after will be available only through digital stores such as the PlayStation Store.

Sony attempts to justify this move by claiming it's a "natural direction" in order to "adapt to consumer trends as the general preference for digital media significantly outpaces physical discs."...

    Digital Homicide Now Wants to Sue Valve

    Digital Homicide first sues Jim Sterling because he had the nerve to call them out on their asset flip cookie cutter games. Then, they subpoena Valve for the real names of 100 Steam users they wanted to sue because they said mean things about them. Then, Valve removes Digital Homicide's games from Steam for essentially bullying the Steam userbase. Now, Digital Homicide wants to sue Valve. Digital Homicide is the gift that keeps on giving.

    Hey, remember yesterday when we brought that story of the critically acclaimed and award winning developer, Digital Homicide's James Romine campaign to sue 100 Steam users for $18 million? Yeah, remember how they sent a subpoena to Valve requesting the real names and information for those 100 Steam users?

    As expected, that didn't work out too well for Digital Homicide.

This is now the most bans delivered in one time period for anti-cheat in CS:GO.

    Valve Addresses Major CS:GO Hitbox Issue with Opt-in Beta Patch

    A couple of short days ago, it was discovered that the hitboxes were way off for players that turned just slightly. It was found that if a player moved their view just enough that only their character model's upper torso moved, it would throw the hitboxes off by a significant degree for almost the entire model. This included the oh so important head hitbox, which naturally resulted in people missing headshots they feel like they almost certainly should have hit. The community affectionately...

    British Telecommunications is the latest company to file a lawsuit against Valve. BT has filed the lawsuit in Delaware, a location that apparently favors patent holders. BT claims that Valve infringes on the Gittins, Newton, Buckley, and Beddus patents.

    There is a Deus Ex: Mankind Divided announcer pack that could potentially be added to Dota 2. I say "could" because the community still needs to vote it in on the Steam Community, but I'd say it's a pretty safe bet that it will be added.

    Yes, the announce pack if of none other than Adam Jensen, voiced by Elias Toufexis and was officially created by Eidos Montreal.

    Come May 2017, Valve will once again move offices into a larger area. It was reported this past week that the development studio will take up residence in the new office tower at Lincoln Square.

With this move, Valve will have an additional 100,000 square feet of space to work with. This move will place Valve on the list of the "largest c...

  • How Many Games Did You Complete in 2025?
    by Shawn Zipay
    Make up your own definition of "complete."

    Was 2025 a big year for game completions for you, or were you more of a "stick to one never-ending, live-service game for the entire year" sort of player?

    For this, you can take whatever definition you want as a game "completion." Beat the main story? Earned 100% of the game's achievements? Or simply played enough that you're satisfied with what you accomplished and have no plans to return any time...
