Valve Releases Half-Life 2: 20th Anniversary Documentary

I Can’t Stop Playing Balatro
A few weeks ago, I picked up Balatro on the recommendation of a friend. It looked interesting enough thanks to its throwback visual style and seemingly simplistic gameplay loop.

Latest Silent Hill 2 Patch Worsens Game-Breaking Bug on PS5
There’s very little to complain about when it comes to Bloober Team and Konami’s Silent Hill 2 remake. The atmosphere is just as creepy, disquieting and often uneasy as it was in the original. The haunted town’s famous fog still creates a solid sense of claustrophobia and the changes actually make sense for the most…
It’s Better Not to Linger in The Nether
As Spooktober marches on and the horror continues to surround, I find my thoughts turning to Minecraft. For the most part, it’s a pretty chill and lighthearted game.
