My introduction to Rocket League was suitably chaotic. A friend had secured beta access, setting up 4v4 matches with six other people across two TVs. We played for hours. Between the unlikely goals, great assists, and questionable demolition tactics, I loved every moment. There isn’t a game that encapsulates the “just one more round” mentality better than Rocket League. It’s currently my most played game of all time, each explosive match calling out for another, and I wasn’t alone in being hooked....

Steam is off to a strong start in 2023, or at least that’s how it appears based on a new milestone reached by the online gaming platform.

Every publisher wants you to believe that their game will change the world – none more so than the creators of Grand Theft Auto IV, Rockstar Games. Some may remember they billed GTA IV as a game that would “set a new standard for video games” and that it would offer a “groundbreaking experience”. Now, whether or not you agree with those statements, it’s clear to see that Rockstar would like to make a statement with every new release; ‘You will love our awesome new game....

If you are in the market for a GPU, as a gamer, there are a ton of options available to choose from. This is not bad, especially if you are looking for mid-range graphics cards. Currently, the RTX 3050 and GTX 2070 Super are industry leaders within this category, and they are both released by Nvidia GeForce. Since they share the RTX – support for ray tracing, a fledging technology that improves the realism in lighting and overall appeal, these graphics cards have solved a long-standing struggle to find balance in ray tracing....

Announced at The Game Awards 2020, developer Scavengers Studio’s Season: A letter to the future has already impressed a number of people with its melancholic atmosphere and strong visual style. Unfortunately, the game did not exactly have the smoothest of development cycles at least in part due to the workplace allegations levied primarily against the title’s former creative director....

Ninja Theory has offered up an update on upcoming sequel Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II, its long-awaited follow-up to 2017’s Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice. Shown off during the Xbox Games Showcase Extended broadcast last night, the video didn’t, alas, offer a release date or gameplay. It did feature the studio’s chief creative Tameem Antoniades giving us an insight as to how development is going. The team say they’re building “a big chunky slice of the game” before moving into full production, so it sounds like it’s still relatively early days....

Of all the Fallout games that have come out since Bethesda acquired the IP, Fallout: New Vegas tends to receive the most praise from diehard fans. Notably, developer Obsidian made this entry rather than Bethesda, giving the game a unique flavor that overall seems to have resonated with fans more than Bethesda’s efforts. Although Fallout: New Vegas did not escape the criticisms commonly levied at the modern Fallout titles, such as their technical issues, many still see it as one of the best western RPGs around....

Shenmue 3 has had a long and storied development cycle, receiving multiple delays and experiencing an Epic Games Store exclusivity debacle along the way.

Although it’s still unclear when WB Montreal’s heavily teased next Batman Arkham game will be released, it’s incredibly obvious that the superhero action game is on its way. From countless leaks surrounding the villainous Court of Owls heading up Batman’s rogue gallery, some official teases from Warner Bros. Interactive, and a number of corroborated rumors claiming it will focus more on Batman’s allies than the caped crusader himself, it seems the next iteration of the popular franchise is well underway....

More games should really star adorable robots who use their enemies’ weapons and abilities against them as they hack, slack, burn, and crash their way through space stations infested with sentient AI hell-bent on deprogramming you once and for all. But since more games aren’t exactly that, at least we’re able to give away a whole mess of keys for Socketeer, a game that is about all of that! From Ice Beam Games:...

Sony has filed trademarks for ‘PS6,’ PS7,’ ‘PS8,’ ‘PS9,’ and ‘PS10’ in Japan. Be prepared. Actually, as you were.
