Cyberpunk 2077 Hate At Launch Was The ‘Cool Thing’ To Do, Devs Say
27.6.2023
Much to my chagrin, I’m a Cyberpunk 2077 defender these days. Sure, the patches and technical updates unmask that underneath all the dick-clipping bugs, there was a…mostly unremarkable open-world RPG trying to claw its way out. But it has a lot of heart, as well. The story of V and Johnny...

Halo Infinite Axes Season Cutscenes So Devs Can Improve Other Things
20.6.2023
Halo Infinite is a good game that’s only become better over the last year or so thanks to smart updates and new content being added each season. Yet the Xbox and PC shooter’s latest season is missing something: cutscenes. But fans don’t seem to mind, because 343 says their omission is so the team...
2023’s Most Unusual Shooter Just Got Delayed To The Worst Possible Time
20.6.2023
Immortals of Aveum is a Doom-like shooter where you wield magic spells instead of guns. There’s something about it that feels unmistakably like an Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 throwback, but it’s actually a new, big budget indie game from the same EA Originals label that brought us It Takes Two...

The Best First-Person Shooters You Can Play In 2023
6.1.2023
Despite having been the industry’s driving force of graphical fidelity and use of technology since the early 90s, the first-person shooter is paradoxically one of the most timeless genres. 30-year-old classics remain just as playable as the most cutting edge contemporary releases. Which is all...

Mass Effect Legendary Edition is free for members of Amazon’s Prime Gaming service this week.

Two Decades Later, Halo 2’s Iconic E3 Trailer Will Be Playable
7.7.2022
The coolest part of Halo 2 never made it into Halo 2. If you’re at all a fan of the series, you know exactly what I’m talking about: the “Earthcity” demo, shown off during Microsoft’s E3 presentation in 2003. That level never made it into the full release of Halo 2, but nearly two decades later,...
A Game So Good It Could Have Been Hexen III
4.7.2022
In the mood for a retro-style FPS, I dug around the new releases on Steam, and poked at a few, not really clicking. Until, that is, I found Hands Of Necromancy, and then played it all weekend. This is a Hexen-like FPS, with enormous, sprawling maps, a whole bunch of weapons, an array of enemy...

Terrible Remake Is Being Remade All Over Again
30.6.2022
In 2003, a shooter called XIII was released. Based on a series of Belgian graphic novels, it tried something unique (for the time) by emulating the comic’s cel-shaded look, and while it wasn’t the greatest shooter ever made, it was still incredibly cool, quickly earning itself cult status.Read more
