Warner to Address “Volatile” Industry with Live Service

Some parts of the games industry is like watching a friend shoot themselves in the face, and then blame someone else for the massive hole in the side of its head. I’ve no better way of explaining the recent comments from the…

There is an Xbox Partner Preview Tomorrow

Did you know it is only March? I know, there have been two Nintendo-based showcases, a PlayStation one where Kojima told us he’s making yet another game, Xbox had a podcast that could have been an email, and NACON Connect happened last week that no…

Classified: France ’44 (PC) – Review

Before your Navy Seals and modern US Rangers, the UK was forced to create the special forces as we know them today. While David Stirling and the SAS were off in Africa and eventually taking on Operation Pegasus, and the SBS were…

News Tower (PC) Preview

Covered in more dust than the inside of your granddad’s underpants, the SimTower-like genre hasn’t been milked for all it is worth just yet. Sure SomaSim’s Project Highrise is the closest one-for-one but we’ve rarely gotten some delineations that focus on specific jobs, such…

Super Meat Boy Forever is Free on Epic

Monday, the Payday 3 and Ready or Not 2024 roadmaps were revealed, and Baldur’s Gate 3‘s 6th patch was released. Tuesday, Neverwinter Nights got an unofficial officially supported patch, Times & Galaxy looks interesting, and NACON is doing another showcase. Wednesday, PowerWash Sim is getting its 40K DLC very soon, and Winter Survival was given a short delay. Thursday, there was a third-party Nintendo Direct with…

Lower Decks “The Inner Fight” – Review

“What in the minimalist hell…” Finally, someone agrees with me, this simple and minimalist design everyone is going for is horrible. Maybe I should note that Mike McMahan’s “The Inner Fight” is a two-parter and all that before I start complimenting Beckett…
