Call Of Duty Is Xbox’s Biggest Blessing And Its Curse

Microsoft closed its $70 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard near the end of 2023. Months later, Sea of Thieves and other Xbox exclusives were headed to PlayStation 5. The multiplatform shift was inextricably linked to the Halo maker’s massive overnight expansion into one of the biggest third-party publishers around. Now, as new Xbox CEO Asha…

Fatekeeper dev “a little overwhelmed by the enthusiasm” for its handcrafted fantasy RPG

Fatekeeper developer Paraglacial has thanked fans for their “incredible” support of its new release. The fantasy RPG leapt off the screen at me the first time I saw it, with absolutely stunning environments and combat that feels like the next evolution of Skyrim. The team has now just dropped its second big update since launching…

You need to hear this Valve vet’s rant on why TF2 could never be made by AI

It’s not a revelation to hear that a system built to regurgitate what already exists may, in fact, have trouble coming up with something truly original. When a legendary game developer argues that a genre-defining game could never be made by artificial intelligence, it’s still worth pulling up a chair. If you’re a PC gamer,…

The Walking Dead Is Getting The Beat ‘Em Up Treatment On Switch 1 & 2

Ah, The Walking Dead… a franchise that, rather fittingly, just won’t die. As such, Odaclick Game Studio and Trailmark Games have announced a new 2D beat-em-up called The Walking Dead: Streets of Survival. Coming to Switch and Switch 2, Streets of Survival is a similar endeavour to Odaclick’s previous effort The Karate Kid: Street Rumble,…

The Walking Dead: Streets Of Survival Is A Streets Of Rage-Like Arcade Brawler Coming Soon

There are a lot of games based on The Walking Dead, usually the AMC television show version (itself based on Invincible creator Robert Kirkman’s now-complete comic book series). But hey, what’s one more, especially when it’s basically a Streets of Rage-type brawler. That’s what the newly announced The Walking Dead: Streets of Survival is clearly…

Kingdom Hearts 4 Has Characters From A Game You Can’t Play

Usually when people hear the term “spin-off,” they think of some kind of supplementary material that you don’t necessarily need to experience to get the full experience of the primary course. That doesn’t apply to Kingdom Hearts, however, as just about every game in the series, whether it’s a numbered entry following Sora, Donald, and…

PSA: This Entire PS5 Adventure Game Series Is Free on PS Store

PS5 players are reminded that an entire adventure game series is currently free on the PS Store, and no, it’s not shovelware for once. We previously wrote about Lost Lands, a casual hidden-object puzzle adventure, when it was quietly being ported to the PS5. The complete series is now available for free. Lost Lands game…

Blox Monsters codes (June 2026)

With its inspirations clear to see, it’s no surprise that a new creature-collecting game is hitting its stride on Roblox. And with these Blox Monsters codes ready to go, you can speed through the opening areas, or save them to roll a serious contender later down the line. Shedding the traditional introductions and dropping you…

Havn is making a smaller, lighter version of the excellent HS 420, with a few convenient upgrades too

Havn didn’t do much wrong with the HS 420. It’s easy to build into and looks great once the build’s done. But it is absolutely huge and heavy. So, at Computex 2026, Havn had an answer for that. It’s called the HS 360 and it is very similar to the HS 420, only smaller. Specifically,…

Nintendo Fans Don’t Know What They Want

Steve Jobs famously said, “People don’t know what they want until you show it to them.” But I sometimes wonder whether the late Apple CEO would have struggled with predicting what Nintendo fans want. I still remember the divisive online reaction to the initial reveal of Wind Waker at Space World 2001, when fans hoping…
