So far, Tekken 8 has been limited to closed beta tests online or a handful of appearances at offline tournaments and gaming events. An easy opportunity for the masses to play hasn’t presented itself, until now that is. Bandai Namco is releasing a demo for the 3D fighter on PC, Xbox and PlayStation 5. It’ll…
Getting your hands on Wool Fabric in Lego Fortnite is a little trickier than you might think. Obviously, you’ll need to acquire some wool, but that isn’t as complicated as it sounds, since you don’t need any specialised tools to shear the sheep you find wandering around the world. What you do need, however, is…
I don’t remember the last time I was as excited for a game as I am for Tekken 8. I’ve had the pleasure of playing it four times this year—twice at public gaming events, once for October’s closed beta test and, finally, a closed invitation to try the completed game in late November—and every single…

Grand Theft Auto 6’s first trailer this week is just 90 seconds long, but analyzing its hidden details and Easter eggs already seems to be a full-time job for some fans. The trailer has racked up over 142 million views in just a week, and already thousands of posts are dissecting it for brief glimpses…
The survival MMO that once sat at the top of Steam’s most-wishlisted games list is crumbling before our eyes. After numerous delays, weirdly confrontational statements, and a trademark dispute with a calendar app, The Day Before finally released last week and its Steam review average almost immediately settled at “overwhelmingly negative.” Today, its studio abruptly…
This article was originally published in 2019. It has been edited and updated with new material. The first game I ever bought from in early access on Steam was a survival sandbox called Under the Ocean. I paid $7 for it in June 2013, and I played it, enjoyed it, and tried out new alphas…
