I've been playing PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds nonstop for the last week. I even got my first Chicken Dinner because someone blew got killed by their own grenade! I'm hooked. The game's not perfect, though. Anyone who's played (or watched)...   read

Coming off of E3 this year, I started to notice something. Every time I logged on to Steam or PSN somebody I knew was playing Wolfenstein: The New Order. Every single time. Who could blame them? After all, Bethesda had just shown off the Na...   read

E3 is over, and now it's time for a relatively quiet July. I mean there's a few big games coming out like the Final Fantasy XII remake, and uh...wait. Splatoon 2! How could I forget. Nintendo is gearing up for one of their most massive...   read

Bethesda and id are fielding user-submitted questions for Quake Champions. Since folks have a good sense for the free-to-play shooter from its ongoing beta, the Q&A is surprisingly informative. For instance: "There are several modes we ...   read

When Modern Warfare Remastered was first announced, I had the chance to speak with one of its lead developers. The first thing I asked? If it was getting a standalone release, as it was originally tethered to Infinite Warfare. He dance...   read

Housemarque combined Robotron: 2084 with Resogun. The end result, Nex Machina, is sublime. After spending some more time with the human-saving, robot-blasting arcade shooter following my review-in-progress, I'm ready to call this one. It's ...   read

I've got to be honest with you all here. I may have extensive experience with the Senran Kagura series since I'm addicted to Dynasty Warriors-like hack and slash games, but I've never fully gelled with its, uh, packaging. I've got a preferr...   read

At E3, I was reunited with Fortnite, Epic's long-in-development-but-almost-there game about gathering resources, building out fortified bases with traps, and gunning down and/or slicing up the incoming zombie horde. This was my third time p...   read

You probably know Days Gone as "the game with the absurd zombie hordes." Me too. That was the big talking point a year ago, during last E3, and we covered it in-depth. This year's show brought another hands-off demo opportunity and a differ...   read

I've been hooked to Volition's Saints Row series ever since it underwent a major tonal reboot with Saints Row: The Third. The series may have been a victim of diminishing returns as of late -- you can only jump over the proverbial shar...   read

A few seconds into Nex Machina, I knew Housemarque had nailed it. Fundamentally, it just works. The studio has won over a lot of arcade lovers with games like Super Stardust HD and Resogun. I liked 'em and the team's newer title, Alienation...   read

Konami's attempt, in its post-Hideo Kojima future, to squeeze a little more blood out of everything the Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain team built is frustrating. It's not necessarily bad, but it does feel uncanny, just a little bit wr...   read

State of Decay was one of those games that quickly had me wishing for a sequel. Undead Labs was onto something with its base-building undead-survival title. The idea? Terrific. Roaming for food and ammo, picking up survivors, building out a...   read

Housemarque (Super Stardust, Resogun) is continuing its trend of throwing as many colorful projectiles as possible at players with a new shooter, Matterfall. The 2D action platformer pits you as a Crysis-cosplayer in a futuristic robo-scif...   read

Coming into E3, I had just started playing Horizon Zero Dawn. Coming home from E3, I'll be doing more of the same. Such is the life of us robot dinosaur trappers. Guerrilla Games is working on a story expansion, as previously discussed, an...   read

Bethesda dove right into its E3 2017 press conference with back-to-back virtual reality games. First there was Doom VFR, which, hell yes. That can and should be good. Next, we got a peek at Fallout 4 VR, due out this October on PC for ...   read

We've been expecting at least a couple new game reveals out of Bethesda's E3 2017 press event, and The Evil Within 2 is looking like a reasonably sure thing at this point. Over the weekend, r/PS4 readers encountered a reddit ad with the fol...   read
