The Epic Games Store’s Holiday Sale is now underway—it actually started on December 11 but we were a little busy with other things you may have heard of—and that means, aside from deals, a whole bunch of new free games to pick up. First on the block is a very big one indeed: The hit…

We got a look at the new face of Tomb Raider at The Game Awards last night. Two of them, in fact: A remake of the original called Legacy of Atlantis and an all-new adventure entitled Tomb Raider: Catalyst. But what about the new voice? That will be provided by Alix Wilton Regan, who will…

In terms of new game announcements, this was one of the most exciting Game Awards we’ve seen in a minute. Divinity and Fate of the Old Republic were the highlights for me, and I’m liking what we’re seeing from Exodus. But there were some notable absences: Studios we haven’t heard from in awhile, announced projects…

There are, as you may have noticed, a lot of videogames nowadays. We’re spoiled by the constant flow of game releases: It would be impossible for me to put any real amount of time into every PC game I was interested in, let alone every game that’s well reviewed or recommended by friends and critics…
