Madden NFL 21’s next big Franchise mode update will fix an area that players have long complained about: AI-controlled teams drafting first-round quarterbacks when the club already has talent, even rookie talent, at that position.

Trump pardons former lawmaker who spent campaign funds on Steam games

Project Wingman makes air-to-air combat thrills as accessible as Call of Duty
The developers behind Project Wingman don’t want you to call their game a flight simulator.

Here’s a fan-made 3D version of Among Us
Among Us has been in the social media spotlight for weeks now, despite being a simple 2D game with cute lil’ space bean graphics. But what if, instead, the crewmates (and deadly impostors) were running around a 3D version of the map? A VR developer named Jar has posted a video of this very thing. […]
