A PS5 console exclusive is free on the PlayStation Store for roughly the next 48 hours. When PlayStation exclusive is mentioned, games and series like God of War, The Last of Us, Uncharted, Horizon, Gran Turismo, or Ratchet & Clank may come to mind. And for good reason, but seldom are these games…
There are plenty of fantastical creatures to fight in Dragon’s Dogma 2, but nowhere in the base game will you find a dragon that vomits zombies.

ShutterstockBack in 2011, Doctor Who fans didn’t know how good they had it. Matt Smith’s triumphant Season 6 had been split into two parts, consisting of seven episodes from April 2011 to June 2011, and then a hiatus of roughly two months before Episode 8, “Let’s Kill Hitler,” picked up where the…
A new 95-rated PC game beat Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Mortal Shell II, Wardogs, Big Walk, Star Wars: Zero Company, and more to the #1 best-selling game on Steam for the week of August 18 to August 25. The game in question is $7.99, which no doubt helps it move units compared to a $70 or $60…

Every year, the NBA 2K series, like our favorite NBA teams, teases enough improvements to give us a sliver of hope; a renewed sense of faith that maybe things will be even better than last time. Although that faith was rewarded last year, that hasn’t been the case in the 10 hours I’ve spent with…

Prominent Kick streamer Neon has responded after Rockstar appeared to reference him in a side mission shown during their special GTA 6 first-look trailer on Netflix. Rockstar broke the internet yesterday when it premiered 26 minutes of gameplay footage from Grand Theft Auto 6 on Netflix, causing…
The big Grand Theft Auto 6 extended look (mostly) went off without a hitch, and apparently, it was Rockstar Games' idea to bring it to Netflix in the first place, not the other way around. Amidst the unprecedented amount of hype for GTA 6, there was a fair amount of confusion from fans, who…
