If recent reports are to be believed, Facebook is embarking on a new effort to add some familiarity to the Oculus library of games. Virtual reality isn't necessarily short of games to play, but it's left wanting when it comes to big-name re...
Nintendo is really sticking to its guns. At E3 less than a month ago, Nintendo maintained that the 3DS is a platform it'd keep supporting, citing a continued consumer demand as the reason it's not yet dead. With this morning's reveal of the...
We're beyond the pale and right back where we started. Years after a DayZ mod (well, technically an Arma II mod) kickstarted the battle royale craze, DayZ is getting an official battle royale mode. DayZ developer B...
Gearbox is upping the ante with regard to the way dueling works in Borderlands 3. In past games, two group members could consent to a one-on-one fight, with the victor being crowned just a few seconds later. Now you'll have the chance to of...
Xbox Game Pass is quite possibly the best value subscription in gaming. Right now, Microsoft is running a promotion where everyone can upgrade to the best version of Xbox Game Pass for a very nominal fee. By some mathematical property that ...
It's a four-day work week thanks to Uncle Sam and the fireworks industry. That means we have an extra day for lazing around, eating grilled meats, and blowing things up. What a life. For anyone who plans to do their lazing with video games,...

There is no such thing as high-level Roller Champions because Roller Champions itself barely exists. Its introduction to the world came last week with an E3 announcement and a surprise technical alpha that was open to everyone. At...
Ubisoft's approach to game design for the past decade can most succinctly be summed up as "more is better." More content, more open world, more everything. Sometimes it works out, like with Assassin's Creed Odyssey -- a game that felt ...
The setting is anything but exciting. A labyrinthine office building, the sort of place where Karen from accounting navigates a maze of cubicles just to ask how your weekend was. She doesn't care. She's just looking to kill time before she ...
Sony is overloaded on inventory and passing the savings onto you. Everything is priced to move, everything must go! Okay, that's the last time I steal copy from my local used car dealerships. But seriously: PlayStation has a Flash Sale this...
