Halo Studios has announced that Halo Infinite will be retired from the HCS esports circuit after the championship this year. It also seems that there will be no HCS in 2026 in order to make presparations for the next Halo title. This was inevitable, perhaps, but it’s still surprising to see the game being brought…

The Puppet and Withereds Debut in the Newest FNAF 2 Trailer
The second trailer for the Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 movie (in theaters on December 5) released just a few days ago, and it looks amazing! Though I do want to warn anyone hoping to go into the movie blind, as this trailer shows a bunch of animatronics not seen in the first trailer, so…
Ubisoft CEO Blames Organized Criticism For Poor Game Reception
The more I see and hear from the executives in charge of major AAA gaming companies, the more convinced I become that they truly neither care about their product, nor do they want to. While they still make stupid amounts of money thanks to the casual audience, AAA is nonetheless becoming less and less relevant…
Halo 4 and Halo 5 Reportedly Managed to Sell 10 Million Units Each
As the Halo series has gone on, its image has only gotten worse. Yet, it seems that sales for each game haven’t exactly slowed down. According to one Chris Haluke, former Lead Designer at 343 Industries, both Halo 4 and Halo 5 managed to hit 10 million units sold over their lifetimes. While perhaps not…
Arkane Studios Founder Slams GamePass After Microsoft’s Massive Cuts
One of my takes that’s absolutely aged like milk over the past couple of years was that GamePass was a good thing. More and more often I keep coming back to that position and wondering why I ever held it. Not only has it been doing to gaming what Netflix and the like have done…
Monster Hunter Wilds Title Update 2 is Live
After years of success and a pretty good launch on console, one would think that a title update for Monster Hunter Wilds would be fairly inconsequential. Yet, due to ongoing issues with the PC version of the game, any updates from here forward are going to be crucial. Read on to find out what the…

Well, so far things seem to be going well for Switch 2. Initial sales appear to be strong, press is largely positive and now at least one analyst says that it’s working well as a 3rd party platform. How true is this and what does “doing well” mean in this context? Read on we’ll discuss.
Out Fishing Might Be the Next Big “Fishing Horror” Game
If I hadn’t played Dredge a couple of years ago, fishing and horror wouldn’t exactly strike me as a natural combination, much less one the works. Even so, it worked fantastically in that game. Dredge was pretty simple gameplay-wise, yet it managed to create real feelings of fear and even panic whenever I found myself…
Persona 4 Revival Officially Revealed At Last
You gotta hand it to these marketing teams sometimes. Not in the sense that the Persona 4 Revival team did anything overly special with its reveal, but rather that they were just so doggedly determined to hold the official announcement until Xbox’s Summer Games Show showcase. I mean, not only was just about everyone predicting…
Activision Adds Ads to Black Ops 6, Warzone Loadout Menus
For a long time now, many have justified in-game cash shops with the phrase “it’s just cosmetic.” It’s a sentiment that makes sense on the surface, but I think it becomes harder to justify as games become more and more bent towards pushing those cash shop items. At what point is it too much? For…
