  1. Valve’s free-to-play class-based shooter, Team Fortress 2, is over 16 years old and yet continues to be one of the most-played games on Steam. However, TF2's large fanbase is fed up with Valve’s inability or unwillingness to fix the game’s **** issues and has started up a new, large-scale campaign to pressure the… Read more...

  2. When MultiVersus, Warner Bros. crossover brawler, was in beta, Scooby-Doo’s Velma was arguably the best fighter on the roster.

  3. I don’t think I will ever get over the ****** of SSX. While EA’s extreme snowboarding series isn’t officially in the ground, there hasn’t been an entry since 2012. Yet the franchise still looms large in many gamers’ minds, including mine. That is especially true of 2001’s SSX Tricky, an arcadey snowboarding game… Read more... View the full article
  4. XDefiant, Ubisoft’s new, Call of Duty-like free-to-play shooter, has been out for about two weeks now and I’ve spent a lot of time playing it. I’m not an expert. I don’t claim to be one.

  6. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth has a wide variety of spells, abilities, and other unique ways you can defeat, steal from, or even transform your enemies.

  7. Pokémon has a rich history and spans across several mediums like video games, trading cards, merchandise, and more. So it would, in theory, be a perfect fit for fan conventions. The Pokémon Company hosts plenty of its own events like Go Fest for Pokémon Go fans and its World Championship tournaments for competitive… Read more... View the full article
  8. As you explore the many biomes in Shared Memory’****** metroidvania Animal Well, you’ll come across at least one enigmatic pillar simply called “Circular Recess.” The game gives you no explicit clue about what to do here, and you don’t need to solve these puzzles to complete the first “layer” of the game. This might… Read more... View the full article
  9. The ModRetro Chromatic is the latest attempt to cash in on retro nostalgia. It’s a slick-looking Game Boy ****** knockoff that competes with the bespoke and perennially out-of-stock Analogue Pocket by playing all of your original Game Boy cartridges. The main difference is that the ModRetro Chromatic is being sold and… Read more... View the full article

  12. It’s hard to believe, but Destiny has been around just shy of ten years, and today’s launch of The Final Shape marks the conclusion of the series’ current saga. As players get ready to ***** into this final campaign against the Witness and usher Destiny 2 into a new era, they’re also fondly remembering the last ten… Read more... View the full article
  13. No matter how much a game might try to teach you its rules, some people will just never learn. And hey, there’s nothing wrong with a game not being for everybody! But what happens when the player just wants to be difficult? In the case of new indie dungeon crawler Cryptmaster, the game’s titular narrator and guide… Read more... View the full article
  14. It’s almost time for this year’s not-E3, Summer Game Fest. Geoff Keighley’s annual World Premierathon, and several ostensibly unrelated events orbit it, pile vast mountains of gaming news upon us.

  15. Unless you’ve been living under a rock on Exegol for the last month, you’ve probably heard of YouTuber Jenny Nicholson’s viral, four-hour-long video reviewing the Star Wars hotel, officially known as Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser. Titled “The Spectacular ******** of the Star Wars Hotel,” it goes into excruciating… Read more... View the full article
  16. Amazon Prime clearly knows it’s onto a good thing as it mines the seams of video games for new TV series.

One winner is *****, with the… Read more... View the full article
  17. Below this paragraph is my full review of Tiny Terry’s Turbo Trip—a new comedic open-world action game out now on Steam and playable on Steam Deck. And it’s a good review.

  19. A new viral video shows that many of Fortnite’s premium cars—which can only be unlocked by purchasing them with V-Bucks—are safer to drive around in compared to the free models in the game. This is proving to be a problem in Fortnite’s newest car-focused season, and it seemingly goes against Epic’s policy of cosmetics… Read more... View the full article
  20. Stop me if you’ve heard this before: it’s ******* up that every year, Destiny 2 rips all of its seasonal content out of the game, never to be seen again. Though time has certainly numbed the pain of the removals, it still stings every year, especially when some of the stuff in Destiny 2’s seasons winds up being the… Read more... View the full article
