Last last month, we told you about the final add-on for Left 4 Dead 2. It's not your usual DLC, though. This isn't Valve-developed, but rather Valve-sanctioned. It's a fan-made update, but it also has gotten the blessing (and promotion) fr...

Left 4 Dead 2 has survived longer than anyone thought it would. The 2009 cooperative zombie shooter is still kickin' around, proving that it has the mettle to not die quite yet. It's even getting an update sometime soon. The Left 4 De...

When news broke two weeks ago that Forza Horizon 3 would be delisted toward the end of September, I wondered whether it'd go out with one last hurrah as a closing time freebie in next month's Games with Gold. It wasn't meant to be, as...

Did you miss the memo that The Witcher is pretty popular right now? Despite the fact that developer CD Projekt Red has only made three proper Witcher games in nine years, the series lives on through its legacy, as well as the rece...

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game is kind of legendary. Not only was it one of the best beat 'em ups of the past decade (I mean, it even kicked off the last decade as it was released in 2010, so that's saying something), but it was...

Microsoft has removed the option to purchase a 12-month subscription to its Xbox Live Gold service. While both one-month and three-month subscriptions remain purchasable, the full year sub has been scrubbed from Xbox stores across all terri...

Any committed Xbox Live Gold subscriber would've done well to buy a racing wheel by now. Nearly month after month in 2020, the biggest Xbox One freebie is a simulation racer. After a one-month reprieve, that trend is back. Rally racer WRC ...

Try to find the throughline with next month's Games with Gold. It might be impossible. We have an action platformer, a visual novel, a sandbox shooter, and a bullet hell shoot-em-up. Not everything fits in a box all nice and tidy, man. On ...

Ten years ago, Remedy Entertainment gave us one of the finest examples of video game storytelling, a Stephen King-like thriller drenched in David Lynch-like surrealism. Unlike books or film, video games usually show their age a decade later...

Xbox's Games with Gold has looked a little thin lately, and May's offerings won't do much to change that perception. There's a huge tabletop property in the mix (who will license itself to anyone anywhere), but there's not a lot in the way...

DuckTales: Remastered was delisted from digital stores in 2019, but the game is back today. Capcom shared the news this morning and reminded us that the prettied-up platformer is available for purchase on PC via Steam, PlayStation 3, Xbox 3...

Spelunky is a supremely frustrating game. It's frustrating failing over and over again, slowly and meticulously mastering the systems to accomplish your goals. And, it's frustrating watching other people effortlessly run through Spelu...

Love is not in the air in February, at least not as far as Games with Gold goes. Cupid's arrow has flown astray of Xbox, as next month's freebies are focused on cosmic horror and laser blasters.  On Xbox One, Xbox Live Gold subscriber...

Xbox is starting 2020 with two games where the lead sticks to the shadows. Good synergy considering they couldn't be more diametrically opposed from a moral standpoint. Batman: A Telltale Games Series is January's Xbox One game that m...

A single game with staying power is a difficult achievement to obtain in this industry. With dozens of titles launching each week, most of them in the Switch eShop, the spotlight tends to move quickly as new hits surpass the current crop of...

Over the decades, games and ideas come and go. At the end of last decade, plastic instrument music games were riding high, but these days they're all but gone. Today, hero shooters and battles royale are the hot ticket, but who knows how lo...

[This post is going to require some audience participation. Mentally hum the Jurassic Park theme while reading this. Or click this link and listen to it. Blogging is now a transmedia enterprise.] Ahead of the Thanksgiving weekend, Xbo...

Do you have any fondness for Star Wars: Jedi Starfighter? Good! The Xbox Games with Gold lineup for November 2019 is banking on that fact. As far as these things go, it's not an eye-catching month. If you're subbed to Xbox Live Gold or Gam...

We're only a week out from Obsidian's new RPG The Outer Worlds, but in the meantime, Fallout: New Vegas is calling my name. It's joining the Xbox Game Pass catalog today, and honestly, one little run across the desert couldn't hurt. I wonde...

We've had consistently great things to say about Xbox Game Pass these past several months, but when it comes to Games with Gold, well, things tend to get a little funkier. The October 2019 lineup is no exception. It's jarring to see a Hall...

The Switch release of Grid Autosport completely snuck up on me. Despite following the news pretty intently, I somehow missed that it's coming out next week. Available on the eShop starting September 19, 2019, developer Feral Interactive (w...

Xbox Live Gold subscribers are in for a treat in September. The "Games with Gold" selection has been announced and it contains Hitman: The Complete First Season. While not as good as its sequel, IO Interactive's reboot to the iconic assass...

We're most of the way through 2019, and Microsoft is still putting work into a console that launched in 2005. We're approximately one calendar year away from the Xbox 360 being two generations old, yet it's not quite dead. This morning...

Without much warning, Codemasters' 2013 racer GRID 2 has been delisted from all digital marketplaces. This includes Steam, the Humble Store, PSN, and the Xbox Live Marketplace. While physical copies exist for consoles, you'll now be unable ...

Life is like a hurricane. One day, DuckTales. The next, no more DuckTales. Disappointment comes hard and fast. Capcom has confirmed that DuckTales: Remastered will be delisted from digital storefronts on August 8. That means it'll no ...
