The launch of Counter-Strike 2 has been exciting, but it comes with the disappointing caveat that, rather than succeeding CS:GO, it has completely replaced it. Well, almost completely: It’s actually still possible to launch CS:GO, and will be indefinitely, although you get a very limited version that may break in the future. If you recoil…
Introducing Sociable Soccer 24.

Arguing about who makes the best Calls of Duty is a time-honored tradition, but in 20 years of studio baton-passing, Modern Warfare 3 presents a unique opportunity for persnickety CoD enjoyers like myself: Sledgehammer has been entrusted with the direct sequel to Infinity Ward’s Modern Warfare 2 reboot just a year after its release, with…
The Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 beta kicks off in earnest this weekend, and if for some reason you want to play a different modern military shooter, Electronic Arts is here to help with a free weekend of Battlefield 2042.

The Tortured Prisoner is one of the more mysterious NPCs you’ll encounter in Lords of Fallen. While exploring the wooden walkways under the entrance to Pilgrim’s Perch, you might have found the Skyrest Bridge Key and used it to unlock a hidden crypt under the bridge itself.

Before long, your inventory will be filled with more armaments than you can ever feasibly…
Pieta, She of Blessed Renewal is the first major boss that Lords of the Fallen throws at you. After you’ve made your way through Redcopse village and had your ass handed to you by the Lightreaper, you’ll find Pieta blocking the entrance to Skyrest Bridge.
