With haunting, war-torn levels, environmental destruction, a substantial weapon mod system, and extrasensory abilities, it’s hard to believe that Trench Tales is made by just a single developer. This third-person horror shooter gives off huge Resident Evil vibes, but its WW1 setting and focus on gunplay makes it alluring to fans of Battlefield 1 or Sniper Elite, and now its creator is recruiting playtesters to help refine the experience.

Don't like it.

Google has an illegal monopoly in online advertising, U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema said today. Google is guilty of "willfully acquiring and maintaining monopoly power" in the publisher ad server market that websites use for ads and the open-web display ad exchange market that matches advertisers with websites. Publishers that wanted to use Google's ad exchange were also required to use its ad server, which disadvantaged competing platforms. Google's "First Look" feature gave its ad exchan...

Overwatch 2's Stadium was announced earlier this year, a new round-based mode that lets you buy upgrade items through its rounds to get different buffs, gear, etc. as you try to win the best of seven rounds. Honestly one of the most notable things about it is that it'll have a third-person perspective, a series first for the shooter, one that I've never understood not being in the game given how much of an emphasis on skins there is. But, interestingly enough, it's not launching with every chara...

If you've been keeping up with hands-on impressions following the Switch 2 Direct and the subsequent Switch 2 Experiences, the MKW Direct probably didn't tell you much you didn't already know, but it did give us an extended look at the t...

Razer appears to be testing out a brand new esports gaming mouse in the hands of recent pro-gamer signee, NiKo. Following the reveal of NiKo's signing with Team Green, he has been spotted using a new gaming mouse during the Counter-Strike 2 Cluj-Napoca major in late February.

While the best gaming ...
