Fallout 76 has a haunting isolation about it. There are no non-playable characters in this game. There are no dialogue choices to make. There's no right or wrong. The towns are all deserted. It's just you, your thoughts, a million mile...

Do you like shmups and shooters, but really suck at them? You're in for a treat, then, as Nintendo has added an easy version of Gradius for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers today. Similar to the easy version of The Legend of Zelda added l...

After a stint on the PTR, the gunslinger Ashe has now properly joined the Overwatch roster. You're probably up to speed on Ashe's repertoire given her recent debut at BlizzCon, but just for kicks, here's the short of it. She has a headshot-...

Because Fallout 76 is supposed to be "something different," Bethesda went ahead and broke down a lot of the things people liked about the series to make it work online. One of the alterations I'm not so sure about is the new perk syste...

Over time players started to collectively notice that in Destiny 2: Forsaken, long times were significantly longer in some cases on consoles. Perhaps it's a sign of the underlying problems with Destiny 2's code (a factor Bungie has bro...

It's never too late for an overlooked gem like Sunset Overdrive to find a home on a new platform. Four years later, Insomniac's high-octane traversal-centric shooter is destined for PC. We're still awaiting the official announcement, but af...

Almost 20 years ago, Ion Storm set the world on fire with the release of the original Deus Ex. Headed by Warren Spector, the game was an incredible combination of first-person mechanics, science fiction world-building and player freedom tha...

It's been a long and winding road to get to this point. Crackdown 3 was first revealed at E3 in 2014. After not hearing much for a few years, it was eventually set for a November 2017 release, right alongside the Xbox One X. Then it go...

Announced at Microsoft's X018 event, the upcoming sci-fi strategy shooter Void Bastards looks like a graphic novel brought to life. It's love at first sight, and if it plays as well as it looks, it'll be a treat. The game is a balancing ac...

When I sat down with Jeff Kaplan to chat with him about Overwatch's beta (which feels like ages ago now) one of the first things I asked him is how his team intended on integrating solo content into the game. He made it clear that multiplay...

Blizzard has officially given Overwatch players a heads-up warning that when the next big patch rolls out, they'll need to reinstall the game. In the age of bandwidth caps, it's an annoyance, to be sure. "The next major patch will have some...

When I think "Battlefield," I think "big player counts." I can recall popping Battlefield 1942 into my PC for the first time and being in awe at the 64-player vehicular battles, a rarity at the time (generally it was one or the other)....

The executive saw his shadow, so it's time for [x] more months of add-ons. Speaking on an earning's call in regards to how well their franchises have been doing, Activision COO Collister Johnson noted that Destiny 2: Forsaken has "under-per...

Red Dead Redemption 2 is a critical and commercial success by any definition. It's racking up perfect and near-perfect review scores, and it's also selling a ton of copies. Rockstar's parent company Take-Two Interactive has an interest...

There's going to be one final play session for the Fallout 76 beta, but after tomorrow, Bethesda will pack everything up until the game properly launches on November 14. Given the drastic shift to a multiplayer-centric design, the developer...

I suppose I should be thankful that Overkill's The Walking Dead (which was originally slated for 2016) is spared the burden of being a shared universe with the now-dominant AMC universe. Almost single-handedly responsible for...

After months of small or otherwise inconsequential updates, Star Wars Battlefront II has begun getting some genuinely interesting content. General Grievous was a start, and this month will be even bigger with the Battle of Geonosis update b...

It seems as though Xbox's stranglehold on PUBG is soon coming to an end. One year after launching as an Xbox One console exclusive, the original big-time battle royale is running toward the big blue wall that is Sony's PlayStation 4. N...

If you've made some progress in Red Dead Redemption 2 but your camp feels strangely empty, you may be affected by a bug. Players have reported missing people after finishing Chapter 2, and they've speculated that the issue has to do with re...

Salmon Run doesn't get enough love. I genuinely believe it's the best part of Splatoon 2, and I'd pay good money for a deeper spin-off game with local co-op support. The wave-based survival mode isn't the main attraction for most players wh...

We've seen a handful of reworks (read: re-tooling of characters beyond a few small changes) since the launch of Overwatch. Symmetra is arguably the biggest one in the history of the game, but a few others like Torbjorn and Mercy have b...

In this contest, the prize is virtually free. Win a Steam key for VR game Evasion. I gotta admit, I wasn't entirely sold on the whole VR thing until I got a rig, myself. It definitely takes a bit of getting used to, but man the different ki...

Contests make me hungry. Sate your hunger with a Switch copy of Johnny Turbo's Arcade: Heavy Burger. Remember that innocent time when Peter Pepper used spatulas and condiments to defeat his nemesis, Mr. Hot Dog? Well, war is hell, kids. Pet...

Live at BlizzCon, right before the opening ceremony, Blizzard confirmed the existence of that rumored Lucio cereal: Lucio-Oh's. The company is partnering with Kellogg's for a December 3 launch just as we learned back in October. As per the ...
