I like Warframe, Digital Extremes’ shockingly enduring free-to-play action RPG, but I do find its sci-fantasy direction a bit much. The mashing together of tinted alloys and astral flame, the blend of over-the-shoulder shooting and swordplay, the environments that occasionally look like GPU boxart on steroids – it’s impressive, but a lot to digest. The

Alan Wake 2 will feature a familiar face in actor Shawn Ashmore. While movie/comic fans likely know him best from his portrayal of Bobby Drake/Iceman in the X-Men film series, Remedy fans were previously acquainted with Ashmore as protagonist Jack Joyce in 2016’s Quantum Break.  Ashmore will play a character named Tim Breaker. Who is

Just when the world thought they’d seen the last bit of Warframe news from Tennocon 2023, Digital Extremes revealed a short tease for Warframe 1999. Coming in 2024, it’s a drastic new setting for the MMORPG. A blast from the past, we see a black-haired fella fending off various bio-tech monsters as he hunts down

Build-A-Bear’s popular Pokémon plush line has this week announced the Ghost/Fairy-Type Mimikyu as its latest addition.

This year’s Tokyo Game Show event is drawing closer and SEGA and Atlus have announced that their special broadcast will kick off on Thursdsay, 21st September at 7pm JST. The company hasn’t revealed their lineup for this year’s event, but it seems likely to include a wide variety of games this year including Persona 3

We’re trying not to be distracted by the truly terrible title, but ugh, just look at it. Sure, it makes it more Google-friendly than ‘Invasion’, but at what cost. At. What. Cost. A review focused on an abysmal game title wouldn’t be much cop, so luckily there are other things to complain about with Envasion.

NetEase announced its new free-to-play, open-world RPG titled Project Mugen this week, releasing a brief trailer on the game that highlights city exploration via swinging and wall climbing. What is Project Mugen about? Project Mugen will be developed by NetEase Games and Thunder Fire Studios’ Naked Rain and was formally announced during Gamescom 2023. The

Jusant had one of the best demos I’ve played this year. It’s a climbing game where you reach and grab with each arm independently and need to carefully manage your stamina while scaling a huge, vertical fantasy world. It’s now has a new trailer and a release date, October 31st.

Earlier this summer, developer Jump Over The Age revealed Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector, a sequel that occurs “some time” after last year’s Citizen Sleeper.

The more of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 gets revealed, the harder it is to believe this game started out as anything but an expansion that Activision decided to blow up into a full game. Multiplayer is made up entirely of map remakes from the original Modern Warfare 2. The single-player campaign inexplicably brings

The Electronic Arts developer BioWare – known for famous RPG series such as Baldur’s Gate, STAR WARS: Knights of the Old Republic and Mass Effect – has announced it is “eliminating approximately 50 roles” at the studio.

Immortals Of Aveum reviewImmortals Of Aveum lacks focus, and the magical shooting is more chaotic and less punchy than I’d like, but it hits fun often enough for me to respect the big fantasy swings it takes. Developer: Ascendent Studios Publisher: Electronic Arts Release: August 22nd 2023 On: Windows 10 From: Steam, Epic Games Store,

Microsoft has revealed new console wraps for the Xbox Series X.  These wraps work similarly to Sony’s PlayStation 5 console covers, allowing players to change the console’s cosmetic look without buying an entirely new one.

The first season of Diablo 4 continues to chug along. Now that we’re past all the turmoil of the pre-season patch, things have evidently settled in with more regular updates that seem to have been well received so far.

The acclaimed Red Dead Redemption is now available for the Nintendo Switch family of systems.

Summerfall Studios’ Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical is one of the most unique games of the year. Creating a musical is already a colossal undertaking.

Against all odds, Modern Warfare 3 is bringing back Zombies mode, in a first for the series.
