New Blood shooter Ultrakill has released an exciting holiday update. The high-flying Doom Eternal come character action riff launched the first part of its third and final act: Layer 7, Violence. Even as the boomer shooter renaissance presses ever onward, Ultrakill remains a singular FPS. For my money, it’s the combination of acrobatic action with…
2023 is very near its end, but the bad news for the videogame industry keeps on coming. Just three days before Christmas, TinyBuild has laid off all staff at indie publisher Versus Evil and shut it down. Versus Evil’s closure was initially reported by now-former employees on Twitter. “Welp. That was a fun 10 year…
After putting the Destiny 2 Legacy Collection up for grabs for a week, the Epic Games Store appears to have drifted back into a daily rhythm of free games. Today’s offering is Art of Rally, a stylized top-down racing game from the maker of Absolute Drift. Superficially, Art of Rally is an arcade racer, but…
It’s a great feeling when you find a new nightly game—something you want to sit down and play for an hour or two every evening after a long day.

It’s startling to think The Day Before was once the most wishlisted game on Steam, given how fast and spectacular its fall from grace has been. Earlier this month, the game launched to scathing reviews from critics and players alike, panning it as a shallow, empty extraction shooter that was nothing like what its developer…
While Baldur’s Gate 3 is appreciably big in size—its three acts spanning a lot of square miles —its sheer largeness comes more from the amount of pieces on the board. A tool recently discovered that the thing has around 1,800 characters and over 110,000 lines of text. So when the game’s principal narrative designer Lawrence…
The International Criminal Police Organisation better-known as Interpol has announced the arrest of 3,500 alleged cybercriminals and scammers, alongside the seizure of $300 million in cash and digital assets across 34 nations. The arrests marked the conclusion of what Interpol calls Operation HAECHI IV, a six-month investigation funded by South Korea. The operation tackled seven…
Last week, reports began to emerge that Insomniac Games had been the victim of a ransomware attack that had seen details of an upcoming Wolverine game (as well as personal information of several developers) revealed to the public.
