I didn’t expect to be attracted to 007 First Light on the merits of its third-person shooting, but if you ask me, the gunplay was the best part of today’s extended gameplay demo. At the start of the video, Bond infiltrates a hotel in much the way Agent 47 from IO Interactive’s Hitman games might,…
Attention all mayors! There’s a heck of a lot of city builders headed our way, and as luck would have it, a whopping eight of them are coming in September alone. In fact, there are two you can play right now (one is just a demo, but it’s a demo you’re gonna want to check…
I’ve got over 200 hours in Path of Exile 2 and I’m still intimidated by it. I pick up loot and have no idea if it’s good or not, the gigantic skill tree gives me chills, and I couldn’t tell you anything about the lore. I’m willing to endure the most prickly parts of PoE…
Dreamhaven, the company launched in 2020 by Blizzard co-founder Mike Morhaime, is laying off an undisclosed number of employees, primarily from its publishing group. “These choices are never easy—they affect talented colleagues who have played a key role in building Dreamhaven’s foundation and supporting what has been an eventful year for us,” Morhaime said in…
With pressure growing on Roblox to do something about its reputation as, in the recent words of Louisiana attorney general Liz Murrill, “a breeding ground for sex predators,” Roblox Corporation says it’s going to expand its use of “facial age estimation technology” to everyone who uses its built-in communications systems. Roblox said the new age…
The last year’s been a big one for Bloober Team: The Polish studio’s releasing its second survival horror outing in less than 12 months. As a follow-up to the success of the Silent Hill 2 remake, Cronos: The New Dawn sees Bloober Team stretching its legs in a new setting featuring time travel, soul harvesting,…
Abyssus is the sort of game you play and, within an hour, go “huh, why aren’t there like, a hundred more of these?” Despite a thousand multiplayer first-person shooters and a million more roguelites crowding Steam, stick the two together and you’ve got a peanut butter and chocolate combo that surprisingly few developers have decided…
A major Helldivers 2 update is here, but somebody invited the wrong kind of bugs to the party. The Into the Unjust update takes the fight to Terminid strongholds, plunging Super Earth’s finest into cave systems guarded by acid-spitting bug dragons. That’s all well and good, but a new wave of bugs (the software kind)…
Hollow Knight came out eight years ago. I barely remember what happened last week let alone what a game I played almost a decade ago was about. With Silksong finally coming out, that’s a problem—and maybe it is for you, too. Thankfully, YouTube has us covered, and you won’t need several hours to get caught…
But it is a Game-Key Card. IO Interactive’s 007 First Light was one of the most surprising Switch 2 reveals during the April 2025 Nintendo Direct. The Hitman developers were already giving us its World of Assassination trilogy, but a brand new game — let alone a James Bond game? — yes please. Now, courtesy…
