Red Dead Redemption 2 is one of the most popular games of all time, but Red Dead Online is arguably more popular than the main campaign itself.

Following its split with soccer’s governing body, EA Sports’ FIFA series is no more, but make no mistake: EA Sports FC is a solid game with a host of welcome improvements. The bones of this longtime franchise remain sturdy and familiar, like a well-run club. The suite of changes to Ultimate Team makes for a […]

Titles like Before Your Eyes really show how virtual reality can upend everything you think you know about video gaming. This is a well liked year-old game that comes alive on the new Playstation headset. And there’s no doubt in my mind it is now the definitive way to play it. The game drops you […]

The much-anticipated Nitro Deck is a game changer for Nintendo Switch players sick of Joy-Con drift. The firm’s handheld console, while brilliant, can occasionally suffer from the issue where your controllers will ‘drift’ to the left or right, moving characters on-screen even if you’re not touching them.

As Boon sweats through increasingly spicy wings, we also get a glimpse at the previously announced Jean-Claude Van Damme skin for Johnny Cage.  For the unfamiliar, Hot Ones is […]

Bookmark Dashing through a hyper-futuristic Japan, I stumbled through a door into a market teeming with hostile ninjas. Leaping into the air as I grabbed both pistols from my waist, time slowed and I unloaded both magazines into the foreheads of three weaker enemies to my left. Before hitting the ground, I used my second […]

Dungeons of Hinterberg’s announcement at Summer Game Fest 2023 didn’t garner a ton of fanfare in the midst of massive games like Starfield, Fable, Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2, and Forza Motorsport, but it sticks out as one of the more promising indies highlighted during the Xbox Games Showcase. That same week, I witnessed a behind-closed-doors […]
