[Update: Microsoft sent along the following message: "We're aware that Control was mentioned as coming to the Xbox Game Pass library and can confirm this was in error. While we are always updating the library and looking for new ways t...

We've fallen into something of a weekly routine here. As long as Epic keeps giving away free games every week, we're gonna keep writing about them. Last week, I feigned enthusiasm for Surviving Mars (Ha, you were deceived!), a Paradox-...

A lot of bonkers shit happens in Control, and everyone's free to document it all. Record some gameplay as Former tries to murder you. Snap off a screenshot as Jesse finds the Hotline for the first time. Tomorrow, that documentation gets a h...

Much has been made about Epic Games securing exclusives for its digital storefront by throwing around cold hard cash. In the case of midsize projects, Epic guarantees developers will break even on their costs. Even if the game doesn't sell ...

Control may be out, but it's far from over. Remedy has shared details about the DLC plans for its critically acclaimed sci-fi shooter and it looks like we'll be returning to this trippy adventure well into 2020. There's also a glimpse of so...

Control is the sort of game that you don't stop thinking about when it's finished. It invites retrospect and analysis -- a thorough rehashing of everything you saw and read along the way, all in pursuit of connecting every little threa...

Synchronicity is a theme, or at least a phenomenon, that's used in Control. Through its elaborate and convoluted story, it's established that spectacular results can be achieved when distant and separate things are attuned to one another. T...

Control is a brilliant game, but it doesn't always run brilliantly. In the past couple days, Remedy has been barraged by complaints from people who are trying to play on base model PS4 and Xbox One. At times, the action can crawl to a ...

It there's anything Remedy Entertainment knows, it's how to craft a soundtrack. As this launch trailer for Control shows, the game is likely going to have some amazing music to accompany its weird sci-fi storyline. We see main character Je...

It is the beginning(ish) of August and Remedy's Control launches at the end of August. That's nearly all of August that you're left waiting and anticipating! Maybe, just maybe, this trailer will help fend off the shakes. Meant to show...

Remedy's surreal novelist nightmare Alan Wake and Ubisoft's melee multiplayer title For Honor are this week's free PC games on the Epic Games Store. If you're down, you have until August 9 to claim them. For Honor is now on Year 3 Season 3 ...

Control launches toward the tail-end of August, so Remedy has given PC players a heads-up as to what kind of specs they'll need. Actually, that already happened two weeks ago. When Control's PC requirements were first released in July, some...

As excited as I am for Control, I really couldn't tell you what it's all about. Even with this latest trailer, about the only thing I understand is that something called "The Hiss" is taking over society and you have to stop it. At least, ...

Remedy Entertainment, perhaps best known for its narrative action games Max Payne, Quantum Break, and Alan Wake, has announced that its next release, Control, has gone gold ahead of its August launch. The golden moment was revealed in low-k...

Everyone wants to play ball with Epic. Why wouldn't they? As far as third-party PC games storefronts and launchers go, Epic is the most favorable option. Its 12 percent revenue cut is vastly favorable to what Valve currently offers with Ste...

This Nvidia showcase of the combat in Remedy's Control is supposed to serve as an impressive tech demo. It's meant to highlight the difference in visuals when ray tracing is on, functionally an ad for Nvidia's new line of RTX GPUs. It...

Remedy's next game, Control, has been quite the enigma since its E3 2018 reveal. There's a giant supernatural government building, an "otherworldly" alien antagonist, all sorts of reality-breaking physics quandaries. We spent an hour lookin...

The Federal Bureau of Control picked a real doozy for its headquarters. This bizarre building, dubbed The Oldest House, is home to all sorts of oddities and phenomenons. "Phenomenon" is a politely vague descriptor for the fucked-up monster...

In May 2017, Alan Wake was taken off digital storefronts. Remedy's 2010 thriller had expiring music licenses that Microsoft couldn't re-up. As such, Alan Wake was pulled from PC stores (such as Steam and Humble) and the Xbox store...

Remedy's upcoming sci-fi shooter Control will feature the talents of Max Payne and Alan Wake's lead actors. Both James McCaffrey (Max) and Matthew Porretta (Alan) will be featured in roles that play alongside that of the main character. The...
