Red Dead Online is full of outlaws and bandits, debauchery and depravity. Probably ain't no harm in adding a little bootleg booze to the mix. Rockstar's really urging players to get after a career in moonshining, as this week's Red Dea...

Xbox Game Pass just got a lot more felonious. Rockstar's 2013 record-breaker is now a part of Xbox's premier subscription service. Today, Grand Theft Auto V was added to Xbox Game Pass. Despite releasing nearly seven years ago, GTA V&n...

Back before we were able to connect consoles to the internet, if a developer released a broken game, something overrun with bugs or controls that didn't work just right, there was nothing to be done about. That was it. The game printed on t...

I've had my fill of creature collecting this year – or have I? Not a chance. There's always room for more. The monster-battling RPG Temtem is next on my list with a January 21, 2020 launch on PC via Steam Early Access. It's like Pok&e...

The next job in Red Dead Online is a little entrepreneurial and a little criminal. It's high spirits and high ABV. It's bootlegging for the barflies. The tub ain't for bathing in anymore. Come December 13, Red Dead Online is bring...

Sometimes a video game comes our way and I just want to tell you to watch the trailer because there's a whole lot going on and it's better seen than explained. That's definitely how I feel about DokeV, a wild new PC and console MMO for "all...

Final Fantasy XIV is a wild animal. You cannot cage it! Just when you thought that the NieR-heavy Patch 5.1 was the end of it for a bit, here comes a flying ape mount, among other things. Patch 5.11 isn't as massive as a true main...

The ballad of Final Fantasy XIV on Xbox might finally be hitting its crescendo. For years it's been a battle of policy between Sony and Microsoft, with the former refusing to play nice with the latter with cross-play, and Microsoft all...
