Crow Country is an upcoming PS1-inspired Resident Evil-style horror game that’s just been announced, and I’ve tried the excellent free demo. While I love horror and RE with all my heart, it can often be difficult to find something that channels those early PlayStation Capcom games but still wants to modernize the formula while doing something truly unique. I’m glad to tell you that Crow Country fits that bill perfectly. To top it off, you can try the game for yourself right now.

Cities Skylines 2 preload is actually possible, Paradox and Colossal Order confirming, after previously stating that you’d have to wait until launch day to get the new city builder. The Cities Skylines 2 download size is seemingly larger than was originally announced, and based on our own Cities Skylines 2 review, the sequel to CS1 includes a number of technical and performance issues. Nevertheless, if you’re playing CS2 on Steam and the Microsoft Store, you can preload as of now.

Move over, Kratos.

The second season of Diablo 4 has brought with it a second suspension of in-game trading.

The Outlast Trials launched into Early Access on PC earlier this year, and players have been enjoying it, with more than 27,000 Steam reviews falling into the "Very Positive" category. If playing the game isn't enough, you can soon listen to the game's soundtrack on streaming services like Spotify, Apple Music, and more starting this week.  More specifically, The Outlast Trials soundtrack will be available to stream on October 25, just in time for Halloween. Plus, in collaboration with Laced Rec...

OG, remake, or re-remake? Time really flies, doesn't it? Can you believe it's nearly November 2023 already? Mad. Not only that but it's also now been 35 years since the debut launch of Super Mario Bros. 3 on the NES (as highlighted by our gorgeous pals over at Time Extension) in 1988. That's an awfully long time, and we've seen the Super Mario franchise blossom into an absolute titan in the years since, graduating to the 3D realm with Super Mario 64, spawning countless sports spin-offs and party...

No cards yet, but there will be a lot of them.

Hasbro and Marvel have announced that Magic: the Gathering Marvel Universes Beyond sets are coming in 2025, adapting the beloved comic characters to the popular card game.

The Biden administration and the US Commerce Department just named 31 regions as "tech hubs", drawn from nearly 400 applicants. These hub areas are spread across the country, in addition to territories like Puerto Rico, and each spot could share in $500 million of funding as originally detailed in the CHIPS and Science Act that was signed into law back in 2022. The administration hopes to use these hubs to “catalyze investment in technologies critical to economic growth, national security and jo...

Half-Life 2 is a stone-cold classic. The Valve shooter that introduced City 17, Alyx Vance, and the iconic gravity gun still feels fresh and modern almost 20 years later, and is well worth your time, especially as we wait - and wait - for Half-Life 3. But if there’s one thing I would change about HL2, it’s the gunplay. Armed with his trusty crowbar and a slew of great-looking, imaginative weapons (the red-hot-rebar-firing crossbow will always be a favorite), Gordon Freeman nevertheless feels a b...

Heavyweight champs.

The developers of the latest King Kong game say they were given just one year to build the game from scratch, with the harsh timeline mandated by publisher GameMill Entertainment. Last week, Skull Island: Rise of Kong released on PC, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch and Xbox with little marketing fanfare, but garnered attention for its poor quality, especially for a game for a licensed franchise. In a new report from The Verge, developers from IguanaBee say the game was made in one year from scratch...

Standing out from the pack is one thing, but some manufacturers are taking things from the sublime straight through to the ridiculous.

If you've been looking at the current crop of Silent Hill sequels, remakes and remasters and pining for the foggy streets and busted doorknobs of yesteryear, I recommend trying the demo for Heartworm. This is survival horror just the way Mother used to make it - before Mother read all those forbidden books and decided to sacrifice you to Samael, Lord of Serpents and Reeds. You've got your 3D engine with fixed camera perspectives, your thick coating of TV static, your sluggish vehicular control s...

What are the best settings for MW3 on PC? The next Call of Duty game is almost upon us, and following another successful beta period, we can confidently say there are no major performance issues expected between now and the launch. While the Modern Warfare 3 release date is still a few weeks away, we took to the servers during the beta window and tested out the game's performance. We took into account both the hardware and gameplay settings that you might want to tweak, it's much easier than she...

I know it is hard to believe, but 2024 is nearly upon us. In fact, 10 weeks today is 1st January (welp!). In anticipation of our next lap around the sun, Awesome Games Done Quick has released its full schedule for 2024's charity speedrun event in January. Taking place between 14th and 21st January (both online and, in a change from recent years, also in person in Pittsburgh), the event features an extensive speedrunning schedule. This will include Peanut Butter the dog, who will be speedrunning ...

The collaboration between ASUS ROG and the creators of the anime series, Neon Genesis Evangelion, has resulted in some of the best-looking lines of PC hardware we've ever set our eyes on. However, like with any stylish hardware, the price point of the Evangelion line can be a point of contention for anyone looking to show off their love of anime with their PC gaming setup. Now, you have the chance to win up to 9k worth of Evangelion hardware thanks to ASUS.

Take my tears and that's not nearly all, tainted love.

Stand by, Fallout fans - there's only a few months left for you to stay in your bunkers before the Amazon Prime Fallout TV series debuts in April next year. A brief teaser video posted to X, formerly Twitter, reveals the Fallout series release date: 12th April 2024. (Of course, this date is written in the American style, so 4/12/24. But good news, it isn't debuting next December.)

Lords of the Fallen, the new Soulslike from Hexworks and CI Games, has sold 1m copies in 10 days. The game was released on 13th October across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. To compare, Neowiz's puppet Soulslike Lies of P reached 1m sales in under a month across the same platforms, though is additionally available on Xbox Game Pass (undercutting that sales figure).

Back in 2020,  Amazon Studios announced that it was creating a Fallout TV series. Three years after it was announced, we now know that the show will premiere on April 12, 2024. Check out the short announcement teaser below. PLEASE REMAIN CALM.

The series arrives early next year.

I’ll admit, I questioned whether or not we needed Ghostrunner 2. With The Architect destroyed and Dharma City freed from its virtual clutches, I wondered if there was anything left for Jack, Zoe, and The Climbers. Turns out that yes, there is, and I am so glad that I took on this Ghostrunner 2 review - it may just be one of my favorite games of the year.

Converse with all your companions, no matter how distant.

Today Amazon Prime Video officially announced the premiere date of the TV series dedicated to the popular post-apocalyptic Fallout franchise. 

Ghostrunner 2 hits the ground running, but it often stumbles

Team Australia Extreme Overclocking set a new record for CS2 fps by overclocking the brand new Intel Core i9 14900KF to 8GHz at SXSW Sydney 2023. The enthusiasts from Down Under pushed the processor to near its limits with a 33% overclock, reaching an incredible 1,310 fps in Valve's new tactical shooter.

Cyberpunk 2077 already had its police system revamped in update 2.0 and the Phantom Liberty expansion, but now you can overhaul Night City’s law enforcement even more, as a dedicated modder has completely expanded how the NCPD reacts to your actions and improved just what their response means for you.

Civilization 7 is confirmed, as the next generation of Firaxis’ iconic strategy sim looks to take on new rivals in the form of Ara History Untold and Millennia, and old competitors like Crusader Kings. The sequel to Civilization 6 has been officially announced, but details on Civ 7 are still relatively sparse. A new listing from Firaxis however, which also has the superlative XCOM 2 under its belt, suggests some possible expectations and plans to the Civ 6 sequel, as well as ambitions regarding ...
