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

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."...

    Valve Cancels Steam Dev Days After Just One Year

    Last year was the first and perhaps only go around for Steam Dev Days. The developer conference took place last year and brought in around 1,200 developers from around the world to talk about game development with other devs. This year? Nothing.

    Valve has officially scrapped the event for 2015, opting instead to have a larger presence at GDC 2015. When asked about the event, a Valve representative issued the following statement.

    Valve May Not Be the Best Place to Work At - Former Employees Make Their Voices Heard

    Rich Geldreich parted ways from Valve back in June of 2013. He was one of the forces driving the future of OpenGL and Steam Linux at Valve before he said his goodbyes. Even then, Geldreich made it clear that he wasn't too thrilled with how business was conducted at the company. Yesterday, he wrote up a blog entry detailing why the experience left a sour taste in his mouth.

    For a limited time, Valve has opened the doors to a new feature on Steam. Starting today, you can begin placing bids on games and a few items at the newly opened Steam Holiday Auction.

  • 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...
    I did not complete any game in 2025
    33.33%

    I completed up to 10 games
