It has been 10 years since we last corrupted on Empire Bay -- a city that never sleeps, but its residents sometimes sleep with the fishes. If ratings board rumors pan out, we'll be racketeering and extorting again later this year. Ratings f...

Would you like to pick up a naked monster and slam it into chunks? That's it. That's the lede, the highlight, and the premise of the whole damn article. Grapple a nude beast and powerbomb it so forcefully that all its limbs going flying in...

It's wild to see Soldat, a near-two-decade-old web relic, resurface on Steam. The blink-and-you're-gone side-scrolling multiplayer shooter launched on Steam this week, and if you have any nostalgia for classic browser-based games, you'll be...

If battle royale is all about surviving, Warzone cheaters are living fast and dying young. Like Dikembe Mutombo swatting shots and finger-wagging in disapproval (I miss sports!), Infinity Ward is shutting down cheaters left and right. ...

PUBG is the original realistic military battle royale. While each of the major battle royale games take a slightly different approach, PUBG is the one that can most claim it's rooted in realism and survival. No abilities, no craf...

Virtually everyone who picks up Resident Evil 3 will start with the campaign, but once that's done – and once you've run through the story at least a few more times for good measure – then what? Resident Evil Resistance, most li...

Borderlands 3 is off to a decent start when it comes to DLC. Moxxi's Heist of The Handsome Jackpot was a slightly more than serviceable add-on, and the long string of free updates that Gearbox has implemented have mostly been for ...

Jesse Faden's in, ahem, control now but she isn't bringing any much-needed stability to the Bureau. That's sort of the curse that FBC directors are burdened with: They react to crisis after crisis until everything finally goes haywire and t...

Every so often we tackle dual reviews, where two authors share their takes on a game and provide a single combined score. What better game to bring that concept back than Half-Life: Alyx, the first new Half-Life game in ages. Gath...

Call of Duty's crusade against even numbers might soon be coming to an end. Currently, the fresh new Warzone battle royale mode only has playlists for solo players and three-person squads. Twos and fours seem to be on their way. According t...

If you toyed around with getting World War Z but never went all the way with an impulse purchase, your patience is being rewarded this week. The Epic Games Store is giving out the Left 4 Dead-style zombie-horde shooter, and if you claim a c...

Near the tail-end of the Borderlands 3: Guns, Love, and Tentacles DLC you'll come across a mission called "Horror in the Woods," that puts you face to face with a enemy. Before you can actually reach that fight though, you'll hav...

This 16-second video completely speaks for itself. This is the sort of innovative spirit and can-do attitude that'll get us through these lean times. This is literal inventory management in a medium that has tried to eliminate any actions ...

It's easy to think of an update that's turning-oriented as boring or insubstantial. But, in virtual reality, the locomotion of your character (and, hopefully, how it keeps you from feeling sick) is super important. That's the main focus of ...

Hell is really taking a beating lately, what with so many of you Doom Slayers out there doing your part to control the demon population. Bullets are flying, and the floor is very slick from all the blood and viscera. Watch your step, we wou...

Everyone who's wrapped up in the Borderlands 3 end-game is about to get stronger. In a couple of weeks, Gearbox is adding some new features that will ensure the rich get richer. The most obvious example is a free level cap increase tha...

Half-Life: Alyx has been available for approximately 27 hours, and Valve just knows someone's already hard at work modding virtual reality out of it. Valve doesn't explicitly know of any specific modders undertaking that project, mind ...

Independent game developer Jacob Williams is bringing ITTA, a tough new bullet-dodging adventure with "ancient golems" and "toothy horrors," to Steam and Nintendo Switch on April 22, 2020. The setup involves a slain family, a spirit guardi...

Half-Life: Alyx has some very long chapters, especially in the early-going. Long, stressful segments in creepy environments where there's never enough downtime to feel a sense of relief. That's why I welcomed the chapter called "Jeff."...

Honestly, I struggled with whether this puzzle even warranted a guide. I spent far too long trying to figure it out, and then felt dumb for not getting it sooner. But, Chris told me something along the lines of "If you had trouble, some oth...

Microsoft dropped a ton of new information about the Xbox Series X this morning, a deepdive into the technical potential that some games will be able to achieve. As tends to happen with new hardware, everyone's daydreaming about how it'll b...

Rebellion has released the first chapter of Zombie Army 4: Dead War's expansion campaign, Hell Cult. The DLC bundle includes a new campaign mission, character, and several new weapons and skins, along with a new map for ZA4's Horde Mode.Set...

[UPDATE: And she's sold out, folks! Good thing we're giving one away for free :) ] In today's contest we're giving away copies of Super Rare Games' physical Switch release of Assault Android Cactus+! Remember the last time we gave away Assa...

One of the all-time great role-playing game strategies is to grind away at earlier content -- whether through side missions, completely exploring every area, or killing absolutely every enemy to maximize experience -- so that upcoming stage...

Just this week Bethesda updated the official Doom Eternal launch page, which gave us all sorts of handy info for the PC edition. 4K at 60FPS or 1440p at 120FPS? Yes please. But what about console and Stadia players? Well there's good and ba...
