Looks Like Microsoft is Going to Buy Activision Afterall

For a minute, it looked like Microsoft’s buyout of Activision was going to be averted thanks to the EU not being on board with the merger. Unfortunately, it seems these sorts of mergers are all but inevitable. It was just announced a day or so ago that the EU’s regulatory body, the European Commission, just…

Atari Announces ‘Mr. Run and Jump,’ and It Looks…Good?!

I don’t know about you all, but after the nothing burger that was/is the Atari VCS and all the crazy crypto shenanigans of the past year or two, I kind of wrote-off this so-called new Atari as little more than a jaded attempt to quickly cash-in on nostalgia. Yet, the VCS (such as it is)…

Valheim World Modifiers in the Works

Late to the party as ever, through my blog feed, I recently saw “difficulty settings” and “Valheim” mentioned in the same span, and I just had to investigate. I knew that the game’s developers were in the throes of putting together a new update/biome, a volcanic region called the Ashlands. What I didn’t know until…

Redfall is Going to Have Denuvo DRM, Yay…

I don’t know why, but I get the sense that neither Microsoft or Bethesda want Arkane Studios’ next game, Redfall, just doesn’t want i to succeed. How else do you explain the series of L’s the game’s been taking in the weeks leading up to release.

The Newest Tears of the Kingdom Update: Now With 100% More Sticks

Last week, Cary covered the newest update on The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.  Much of this update covered Link’s new crafting abilities, including a new feature to create vehicles that can cross the ground, water, and air! As exciting as this high degree of creative freedom is, I can’t help but feel…

Nintendo Drops New Video on The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

When it comes to the newest entry in the Zelda series, I’ll admit that I’ve hiding under a rock to avoid spoilers. I may not have seen Breath of the Wild through to its credits, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t have a fantastic time with the game. It provided some unforgettable experiences; ones that…

Forspoken SteelBooks Found In the Dump

I suppose this isn’t exactly breaking news, but I still find it interesting because of just how much Sony and Square Enix were banking on Forspoken’s success. It was supposed to be one of the PlayStation 5’s killer apps, with all kinds of resources thrown into its development and promotion, and somehow this is still…

Hunt: Showdown is Getting an Engine Upgrade

Once an online game hits the five year mark, it’s usually either run its course or has just settled into a regular content schedule with no more earth-shaking changes planned. There are exceptions like Warframe of course, and now it seems Hunt: Showdown is one too. In fact, according to PC Gamer, the grim battle…

Dead Space 2 and 3 Might Eventually Get Remakes Too

To almost no one’s surprise, the Dead Space remake has been selling incredibly well. I mean, who would have thought that a remake for an iconic, award-winning and currently dead series would be popular? Well apparently not EA, because the company is now sending out surveys asking people if they’d be interested in remakes for…
