While all the console and PC folks have to wait another five weeks to officially get their hands on the next Call of Duty game, the wait for the mobile crowd is much shorter. The cleverly-titled Call of Duty: Mobile blasts o...

In a strange turn of events, two platform-holders have competing arrangements with a property that neither probably cares about anymore. After acquiring Insomniac Games last month, Sony finally confirmed that it now has the rights to all of...

The time has come to play as Dave Bautista in Gears 5. Starting yesterday evening, you can log into Gears 5 and grab the "Batista" skin for free: so long as you do it until October 28. Yep, it's that simple, you just need to actually s...

Gears 5 is a big game in a few different ways. It's big in that it's robust, packed with more content and modes than ever before. It's big in that it's important, the latest entry in one of Xbox's flagship series. And, it's big in that it's...

It was the best of Gears, it was the worst of Gears. It was an amplification of everything every Gears before did well, and it was a maturation of everything those same games struggled with. It was an identity crisis, a dysmorphic preoccupa...

I have a complicated history with Borderlands, and I suspect that's a fairly common experience. Okay, so it's not all that complicated but bear with me. I wasn't super into the first game. Sue me! "Better with friends" is an idiom/crutch th...

Bethesda's latest promise to bring good public events into the fray for Fallout 76 is coming to fruition, as their newest update, patch 13, is now live. As we previously discussed, public events are actually fun to do now, and there ar...

What's the deal with Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville? Where do I begin! The follow-up to PopCap's kooky team-based shooter series Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare isn't fully out yet – the launch is set for October 18 &...

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...

Online games are known for bumpy launches, and Gears 5 was no exception. Although it may seem like Gears 5 officially launched last week, it kind of didn't. Only the Ultimate Edition went live on September 6, with the fu...

I haven't gotten around to Remnant: From the Ashes just yet, but the loot-based shooter is about to bump itself to the top of my to-do list with the arrival of Adventure Mode. A free update on September 12 will let players re-roll three bio...

While shooters are typically straightforward, Borderlands 3 once again brings a ton of RPG elements with it, including floating numbers, levels, and tons of nuanced loot. Here's a few tips to help navigate it all.

Bethesda is starting to explain what those upcoming quality of life upgrades for Fallout 76 entail, and the first big reveal deals with public events. You know, those lovely random quests that perpetually dot the world map, found in MM...

Picking a character in Borderlands 3 can be tough, as all four choices are viable. Here's why you should consider picking FL4K if you're coming at the game from a solo player angle.

Gears 5 takes risks, more than just dropping the "of War" from the title. There are structural changes so that developer The Coalition can sincerely call this the biggest Gears game ever. In service of that goal, it works. Gears 5...

While Blizzard tries to see if cross-play "makes sense" for Overwatch, they're going full speed ahead with the Switch port on October 15. Thanks to Blizzard communications manager Nazih Fares, we now have a few more details on what tha...

So Overwatch was officially confirmed for Switch yesterday! That's all good and well, but what about cross-play? Blizzard has another vague answer for us (as vague as they were about it existing on Switch for the past few years). Speak...

[Update: And there it is. Overwatch kicked off today's Nintendo Direct presentation ahead of the game's October 15, 2019 launch on Nintendo Switch for $40.] Heroes never die! Unless they were never born [on Switch]. Although Overwatch ...

Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 3 is here! (Sort of.) PopCap and EA have announced Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville – the third game in their wacky multiplayer shooter series – and in a semi-surprising turn of eve...

The Epic Games Store has pre-loading for select games. That's good! But the first real big exclusive following that announcement (Borderlands 3) wasn't going to make the cut for the service. That's bad! Now, out of the blue, right before th...

Today marks the 80th anniversary of Nazi Germany invading Poland in "retaliation" for numerous false flag attacks - perpetrated by the Nazis against themselves - then blamed on Poland. After years of unchecked aggression, blatant disregard...

I've been covering and playing Fallout 76 for nearly a year, and although it doesn't seem like it, Bethesa has been doing a pretty decent job of providing updates for the community on where the game is going next. Sure the launch is a disas...

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 ...
