Bundle up! We're heading across a snow-bound land full of irradiated monsters and limited supplies with which to fend them off. Metro Exodus will hit PC, PS4, and Xbox One a week earlier than expected. "We had previously delayed the release...

I've had to legally change my name to "Contests." Today we're got Pathfinder: Kingmaker up for grabs! Maybe you first heard of Pathfinder: Kingmaker from following the career of Chris Avellone, famed CRPG pioneer and games developer. Or may...

Preview demos rarely coddle, but they're also almost always accessible. Like, the whole point is to get a good broad understanding for what a game hopes to accomplish. On a subconscious level, there's probably something to be said for makin...

Deep Silver is bringing the batshit-insane open-world crime title Saints Row: The Third to Nintendo Switch. The publisher announced the news this morning at Gamescom in Cologne.Saints Row: The Third, which originally launched on PS3, PC and...

Anyone whose first planned foray into the Metro universe will be with next February's Exodus has an added incentive to purchase the game on Xbox One. There's a pre-order bonus that serves as a proper introduction to this series. ...

Onrush won over critics but that didn't translate to commercial success. As a result, several members of the development team have been let go following Onrush's launch in June. Eurogamer reports substantial layoffs at Codemasters' Che...

It has been literally four full years since the reveal of Dead Island 2 and we only know three definite things about it: It's set in California, it has zombies, and it somehow hasn't been canceled yet. Here's yet another assurance abou...

We have a new way to kill some time while we patiently wait around to see if Dead Island 2 eventually gets canned. (Seriously, it has been more than a year since we last heard about it, and that was just Deep Silver confirming it wasn...

It's easy to assume the heart of the Metro series lies in the tunnels that snake below Russia's irradiated surface. They're the capillaries through which both Metro 2033 and Last Light's story unfolded, claustrophobic veins occupied by...

Digital retailer GMG has been running a giant "Birthday Sale" since the middle of the month to celebrate their corporate birthday. Because corporations are people too, dammit. If you're new to PC gaming (there's more than Fortnite, really) ...

[Correction: As user Jan Milik points out in the comments, it's much more likely that Vávra's statement refers to Andrzej Sapkowski's Hussite Trilogy books rather than The Witcher books. It's still the author...

Delays are inevitable with Kickstarter projects. The scope of these games often extend far beyond what was initially imagined, especially when they smash their goals and in the case of Shenmue III, smash Kickstarter records. Announced today...

[Only one more night left in the contest! Comment by morning for your chance to get in on the closed beta, starting tomorrow!] Do you like objective-based vehicular mayhem? Do you have a PS4 with a North American account? Do you like gettin...

Onrush recently earned itself a spot on my pay-attention-to list and it seems like a bunch of you are also on board with what Codemasters is cooking up. We'll soon have a chance to go hands-on. The developer is running an open beta from Thu...

I've had Onrush filed away in my mind as a frenetic off-road arcade racer from Codemasters, and it is that, but there's more going on than expected at first glance. The vehicles have classes, my friends. As shown in today's video, everyone ...

Kingdom Come: Deliverance has built up a polarizing reputation for its obtuse systems, which are now made even more obtuse by a lovely mod called "Ultimate Realism Overhaul." Billed as a sort of survival mode that's found in many other open...

[Update: The original version of this article stated that Kingdom Come: Deliverance had sold 500,000 copies cumulatively. It has actually sold over 1,000,000 copies across all platforms, according to several *Warhorse Games* developers on...

I've played a great deal of role-playing games in my time, whether they be Japanese or Western, from your various Final Fantasy titles to the vast and open world Elder Scrolls games, and all things in-between. As great as these games are, w...

I spend too much time thinking about May 2010 and how both Split/Second and Blur released within a week of each other. Remember how crazy that was? These two over-the-top action racers -- not an over-saturated market -- squaring off j...

It sure didn't take the modding community long to capitalize on two of Kingdom Come: Deliverance's biggest inconveniences. Three days after release and there are already mods that alter the save system and the lockpicking. One of the most c...

When Kingdom Come: Deliverance is at its best, I'm lost in the most detailed forest I've ever seen in a video game, low on food, drinking alcohol for nourishment, all so I can reach the next town to sell my wares...because the last town hat...

Remember two weeks ago when we discussed Kingdom Come: Deliverance and the earmarks of an effective trailer? One day before release, Kingdom Come's back with a new approach and the same outcome. This time, it's a monologue welcoming n...

There's a reason all the best leaders give incredibly motivating speeches right before plunging into the thick of battle (or at least this is what movies have led me to believe). It's gonna get all those warrior guys completely keyed up to...

Announced back at E3, we're finally seeing more of Metro Exodus at the Video Game Awards in the form of a new trailer showcasing the frozen hellscape and mutants we've all come to love. Continuing to expand further on the novels from Dmitry...

Another day, another Humble freebie. This time it's 2011's THQ-published-but-eventually-bought-by-Deep-Silver Homefront. Or, "The Gang Solves The North Korea Situation." It's easy enough to nab. Just go to the game's page on Humble, add it ...
