It's pretty sad, but I'm very much the same way for any game from a AAA company, such as Activision Blizzard, EA, Bethesda, CDProjekt Red etc. I've been burned far too many times and promised too much only to receive an unfinished product. I even remember when the original Diablo 3 came out. It...

If you're coming from a 360 controller, I would say absolutely worth the upgrade. Share button aside, the materials of the controller are of a much higher quality. I find the new controllers weigh better in my hand, grip better, and I prefer the tactile sensation from the new triggers.

Sir, this is a video game site. Of course we think violence in video games is acceptable. We also believe that inclusivity should be championed. The two do not have to be exclusive to each other. Thanks for the feedback.

While you are certainly exaggerating the extent of the impact these games have on us, you are right to point out a discrepancy in the context of how we criticize and look at games. We may have a nuanced opinion on the topics we write about. For example, Civilisation was covered multiple times...

Nice start! You can definitely start smoking if you don't have proper ventilation and you don't want to char your viking. I was having so much trouble building at first. I've been trying to play the game relatively spoiler free, but I did cave out of frustration and ended up watching this...

I call it the Lake House. The idea is to have a northern docks for our server. So far I've only built the main long house. It's quite empty at the moment as this is still very much a work in progress. Later tonight I plan on adding docks for all of our ships. It's gonna be sick 🤟

Me too dude! We should definitely try to get a game together if we can line up the timezones.

In case you missed it Blizzard kicked off Blizzcon 2021 with a Diablo 2 Remastered announcement. We wrote about that here. There's also tech alpha opt in on Blizzard's Diablo 2 website. It doesn't guarantee early access, but if you do want to play Diablo 2 Resurrected this is your best chance...

Thanks all for your patience. The winner has been announced! Check out the full low down on the main site.

I'm excited to see the benchmarks. The xx60 cards always seem priced perfectly to compete with AMD's GPUs which historically have a much more midrange performance, at least when compared to Nvidia's cards. My understanding is that the latest 6800XT cards perform better than what was expected...

That image is hilarious.

I'm a huge fan of the Burnout and Need For Speed Series. NFS Hot Pursuit and Burnout Paradise are classics in the arcade racer genre. I highly recommend both, but if I had to pick one I would say go with Burnout Paradise. Burnout Paradise features lots of modes, not just racing. If you're...

We're a rare breed these days! Looking forward to this pandemic being over and me occupying a board game cafe for hours on end. I've never played Terra Mystica. Is it any good? That site looks awfully barebones, which likely means it is quite good. In my experience, the fewer bells and...

If you’re a millennial like me, browser based flash games were a seminal moment in your development as a gamer. Many of my breaks in between classes were spent at the library, trying to rack up a new high score on Bloons or trying to get past the first level in Alien Hominid. The games hosted on...

I love these easter eggs. Very cool. I wonder if there are any other gaming greats hiding within the game.
