Great visuals? Of course. A solid story? Definitely. But the greatest FPS games, from Half-Life to Doom, FEAR to Battlefield, have one much more important thing in common: the guns sound fantastic. In Valve's debut (and its modder-made remake ****** Mesa) the audio award goes to the .357 Magnum. In FEAR, it's the pump-action shotgun, in Doom, the Super Shotgun, and in Battlefield, well, it's everything. Inspired by some of the classics of the genre, and infused with boomer shooter style and energy, one Steam FPS has managed to score great reviews and huge sales before it's even reached the full 1.0 launch.

Stellaris is one of the finest strategy games on Steam. It adapts developer Paradox's grand strategy roots into something that, pacing wise, is closer to 4X as you build and manage an empire of aliens. It's got exploration, it's got diplomacy, and it's got explosive warfare. But one aspect that has never really felt as satisfying as it should is espionage. As such, the studio is soliciting feedback from players as it looks at a potential rework in the future. Read the rest of the story...

Baldur's Gate 3 is very character-heavy with several routes for each of the player's allies and companions to go down. They all follow their own, unique arcs, and it's possible for a player to sway one character towards their "bad" ending while pursuing the best ending for another. There are also many subjective choices which can change the direction of a character's story - for example, there is always a sacrifice when players decide whether to kill or save Shadowheart's parents.

We're now only days away from an expected announcement about Nvidia's next-gen graphics cards, so naturally, the leaks regarding the launch are coming thick and fast. According to this latest rumor, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 will officially launch with a thermal design power (TDP) rating that's significantly higher than Nvidia's last-gen flagship card, while the RTX 5080's power draw increase will be more modest in comparison.

Activision revealed that Squid Games is coming to Call Of Duty with a new event and LTMs inspired by the popular Netflix show. Although fans of both the show and Call of Duty are excited to see the collaboration, there has been some debate surrounding the price of the event pass.

While it is not surprising to most players that an event pass like this will cost a bit extra, many others have suggested that players who have already purchased premium passes like Blackcell should get the Squid Games event pass premium track for free.

Marvel Rivals developer NetEase has issued an apology to disgruntled players who it unfairly banned for cheating. In a post on Discord, NetEase admitted it had mistakenly flagged as cheaters some who were playing in compatibility layer programs, even though they were not using cheating software. This, unfortunately, resulted in false bans, although NetEase failed to say how many. “We sincerely apologize for this situation and want to assure you that we do not and will not ban players who are playing fairly and without cheating,” NetEase said. The developer said it had made a list of affected players and lifted their bans. “We have identified the specific reasons behind these false bans and have compiled a list of affected players,” it said. “We have lifted these bans and want to express our heartfelt apologies for the inconvenience this has caused.” NetEase went on to insist it is investing in improving its anti-cheat, and called on players to report cheaters if they encounter them. Here’s the rest of the statement in full: Our mission is to provide all players with a fair, just, and enjoyable gaming environment. Therefore, preventing and identifying cheaters is one of our top priorities. We have invested significant manpower and resources to improve the speed and accuracy of our detection systems. With any ongoing detection system, there is always room for improvement. We appreciate your assistance in helping us tackle this challenge. If you encounter any cheating behavior, please report it immediately; our reporting system will respond promptly. If you believe you have been wrongly banned, you can appeal to our customer support team, and we will review your case and respond in a timely manner. You can reach the support team via either in-game or in Discord! Thank you for your understanding and support! The news comes ahead of Marvel Rivals Season 1 and the arrival of Fantastic Four playable characters, teased with a first-look image and set for a trailer of their own next week. Marvel Rivals is a smash hit for NetEase, securing 10 million players in just three days and 20 million in two weeks. The free-to-play superhero team-based PvP shooter launched on December 6 across PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S, and while Sony and Microsoft do not make player numbers public, Steam makes Valve stats available. On Steam, Marvel Rivals peaked over its launch weekend with 480,990 concurrent players, which was enough to put it in the top five most-played games on Valve's platform. It’s the 20th highest concurrent player number ever seen on Steam, ahead of the likes of Helldivers 2, Grand Theft Auto 5, and Destiny 2. Marvel Rivals launched with Season 0, with Season 1 set for January 9 according to the in-game battle pass countdown timer. Check out IGN’s Marvel Rivals Review to find out what we think.
