One of the most anticipated games of the year and arguably the title that generated the most excitement at this year’s E3 was Portal 2.

Since the official unveiling, we’ve been excited for more details and we didn’t have to wait long, as two new gameplay videos have been released - narrated by the Valve developers....

The survivors must use their unique abilities to disrupt the iron grip the Mastermind has on the Umbrella research facility, and work together to fight undead creatures and solve puzzles to escape....

It was 20 years ago this week that Quake was unleashed by id changing the way gamers looked at gaming forever. It was probably one of the first games to encourage competitive gaming during a time when the Internet was still in its infancy. In the mid to late nineties, a competitive gaming scene in the UK was born, it was called the UKCL (UK Clan League), and each week Quake enthusiasts would duke it out in multiple divisions over a season....

Rage 2 had a mostly positive reception when it launched in May. Our own review gave the impression of an above-average shooter with a lackluster story and a very bare open world. Even before the release, Bethesda Softworks had already published a roadmap for the game, promising a lot of content for 2019. Today, it has released a new roadmap as well as the second major update featuring more content. More importantly, the new update includes a New Game Plus mode, which will offer players a more thrilling replay experience....

To tell you the truth, until recently, I was kind of over Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I got on board with the series late, binge-watching my then-roommate’s box sets to catch up in time to watch the final season air. There are so many moments from that show that really show what a television series can be—and the series is still frequently regarded as one of the most influential and important shows of modern television....

In the tradition of Dark Souls, Remnant: From The Ashes is a game that wants the player to make their own discoveries about its various systems and mechanics rather than explain everything. This is both a positive, as it creates more opportunities for exciting revelations, but also a negative, as players can feel lost and overwhelmed as they try to sort out how everything works. This guide is meant to streamline the getting started process without revealing any of the games secrets (of which there are an unbelievable amount)....

Retro City Rampage is an upcoming open world action, 8-bit, pop culture parody game that takes what we expect from games such as Grand Theft Auto and brings those mechanics back into the 8-bit world. In this world VBlank Entertainment has created, pop culture references from the 8-bit era are abundant. The gameplay trailer is a fast-paced adrenaline ride through this 8-bit world. I love the look of this game. It takes me back to a simpler time of gaming but features modern day game elements....
