Alan Wake 2 is almost here – it hits PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC on Friday, October 27. Its release this week comes after developer Remedy Entertainment delayed the game 10 days earlier this summer. While there are plenty of visual options for players playing on PC – check out Alan Wake 2's PC spec requirements here – there are only two graphics modes for those picking it up on PS5 and Xbox Series X (and just one on Xbox Series S). But first, be sure to read Game Informer's Alan Wake ...

We call Samsung's Galaxy Watch 6 the best option for Android users in our smartwatch buying guide, and it's now on sale for $235 at Amazon. There's always a chance we see a better deal on Black Friday, but for now, that's the lowest price we've tracked for the wearable outside of trade-in deals. The discount only applies to the 40mm Graphite model without LTE support, but it's still $65 cheaper than buying from Samsung directly and $25 below the previous low we saw earlier this month. If you hav...

If you’re a fan of survival horror games, then Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami’s The Evil Within 2 is a must-play. Following on from his return to “true survival horror,” the creator of the original RE1, RE2, RE3, and Resident Evil 4 delivers once again, taking on the producer role alongside director John Johanas and the team at Tango Gameworks to deliver a stellar follow-up to The Evil Within - and it’s yours to keep as a free PC game, if you move fast.

Respawn Entertainment is adding a long-awaited feature to Apex Legends: cross-platform progression. When the new season goes live on October 31, players will see an in-game message that explains how this works. The profile with the highest account level will be designated as their primary account. They'll maintain that level, and all of the cosmetics, achievements and badges from other profiles that are linked to the same EA ID will be merged into the master account. An EA ID is required to play...

Linksys just released its first-ever mesh Wi-Fi 7 router, the Velop Pro 7. It’s powered by the latest Qualcomm Networking Pro 620 platform, which the company says helps it achieve “wire-like stability.” The mesh system can connect up to 200 devices per node and each node offers approximately 3,000 square feet of coverage.

Apex Legends: Ignite, the 19th season of the ever-popular battle royale, will explode onto our screens with the brand new Legend Conduit next Tuesday, 31st October. The massive in-game storm at Storm Point has now cleared the map and things look a little different to how we remember it, meaning there's plenty of new areas to explore as you fight to survive. First off, let's talk about brand new Legend Conduit. We now know more about her abilities, as well as how she came to get her equipment and...

Today Colossal Order and Paradox Interactive released a new patch for their brand new city builder Cities Skylines 2, to address the game's performance issues.

The opening section of Half-Life is iconic. In 1998, ‘Anomalous Materials’ revolutionized shooter design and narrative delivery in action games by impressing story rather than instant spectacle. You don’t just spawn in, grab a gun, and start blasting - the tram ride introduces you to Black Mesa, and the opening walk through the lab gives you a concrete sense of your character, your companions, and why you’re doing what you’re doing. Smart and original, Half-Life’s first level is one of the best,...

OK, so there's plenty in Worldless that won't remind you of Silksong or its predecessor, Hollow Knight. Rather than a medieval bug exploring a labyrinth of bioluminescent rot and lore, you're a vaguely humanoid cloud of shards and points, roaming an abstract landscape of soft curves and shafts of light. You're Rayman but fancy, basically, and the world is no world but an uncreated expanse of elemental forces, though you'll find you can run and jump on it much as you can the ledges of Hallownest....

T-shirt collections are dropping over the next month. American retailer of vintage-inspired graphic t-shirts Homage has announced that it has teamed up with Koei Tecmo for a range of Tecmo Bowl apparel, the first item of which is available on the Homage website today.

The first of these kicks off on 2nd November, with a collection of tees ...

Insomniac has addressed a rather embarrassing faux pas relating to an incorrect flag displayed in Miles' home in Marvel's Spider-Man 2.

K'Sante: one of League of Legends' most divisive champions. The Pride of Nazumah has been on the Rift for less than a year, but has undergone some huge changes in order to help him stand out amid the top lane crowd. Following a huge rework in patch 13.20, and more changes in 13.21, the champion is currently sitting at the top end of the LoL top lane tier list - and his win rate proves it.

Fall, Guys.

Amazon has announced the games Prime Gaming members can claim for November.

A new report on Unity's recent fee changes claims the policy was "rushed out" and driven by Unity and IronSource's battle with rival tech company Applovin. One major mobile game publisher is said to have met with Unity's John Riccitiello after the policy announcement and said: "Fuck you, we're not paying". The report comes from MobileGamer.Biz, with anonymous sources from inside Unity providing fresh details.

It's only been a month since Xiaomi introduced the 13T series to the international market, and the company is already pushing out more flagship phones back in China. The freshly-announced Xiaomi 14 series is the first device to run the company's supposedly more efficient and more interoperable HyperOS, which aims to bridge the gap between "human, cars, and home." Naturally, these phones also feature Qualcomm's AI-centric Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor launched earlier this week, with the bonus bei...

Lords of the Fallen is out in the wild, enticing many an adventurer deep into the bowels of Mournstead in a quest to overthrow Adyr, the tyrannical demon god.

Over 600K units shifted. The latest Japanese charts are here courtesy of Famitsu (thanks, Gematsu) and it showcases an absolutely stellar debut from Super Mario Bros. Wonder. Nintendo's latest flagship platformer has managed to shift an astonishing 668,634 units since its launch on October 20th, 2023, managing almost a full 600K more than Marvel's Spider-Man 2, which debuted at number two.

Starfield planets are vast, numerous, and, in a lot of cases, totally empty. In Fallout, Elder Scrolls Oblivion, and Skyrim, traveling between locations becomes a rich gaming experience in itself, with random encounters, incidental discoveries, and your own, personal organic stories. Similarly, each city and dwelling is hand crafted. Exploration in Starfield is more disparate, as you navigate menus to fast travel between space and the procedurally generated planets. One former Bethesda developer...

When is the Frostpunk 2 release date? Moving from coal to oil as your primary power source, the objective remains the same: survive the harsh winter to see another day. However, the needs of the people can sometimes not be in the best interest of the colony as a whole, and one wrong decision means the end. Management games always have some element of tension. However, rioting and the eventual collapse of an entire settlement because the heating's gone out is one of the more unsettling ways to lo...

Milestone sent over a copy of HOT WHEELS UNLEASHED 2 - Turbocharged to the GamingOnLinux Steam Curator and after blasting through various races, here's some thoughts on Steam Deck and desktop Linux compatibility.

Does The Finals have cross progression? Competing in the arena has its positives; you play for fame and fortune, the adoration of the fans, and of course, a slew of beautiful cosmetic items. Are these rewards transferable, though, and if you earn something on your PC, can you use it on your console? With The Finals finally being unleashed, many wonder if their unlocks will be available across all platforms - The Finals open beta is in full swing, and players are already hard at work dominating t...

Capcom announced its financial results for the six months between April 1, 2023, and September 30, 2023, and as usual, they're definitely solid.

I have to admit that I had my problems with the original Alan Wake. The storytelling and atmosphere were strong, but I took issue with its linearity combined with its repetitive action, which made me cautious when Remedy announced a sequel. In our Alan Wake 2 review, I can’t exactly say that the bones of the original aren’t present, but what you're getting in this ambitious sequel is an expanded, improved, wildly reimagined experience and ultimately one of the finest games of the year.

Publisher CI Games and developer Hexworks released Lords of the Fallen, its soft reboot of the 2014 Lords of the Fallen, earlier this month, on Friday the 13th. It didn't quite land for us – Game Informer gave it a 6 out of 10 – but a new update that launches later today fixes one of the major problems we had with the soulslike. That's because the new Pumpkin Patch update that launches at 2 p.m. PT/5 p.m. ET today comes with reduced enemy density. Plus, the patch brings full crossplay to the gam...
