FPS Fest, a large Steam sales event featuring big and small PC shooters is happening right now, and we’ve got a list of some of the biggest and best deals to grab before the event ends later this month.

Amazon’s Fallout show is, miraculously, pretty fun and great. It manages to capture the satire of the games and somehow makes it even sharper by trimming much of their fat. Because of this, the elements which the show lifts from the games feel like they’re lent even more space to shine prominently, and this is…

It’s not often that I kick down someone’s door and get real close to their face to tell them something Homer Simpson-style, but dear readers, one of the best games of 2021 is so cheap right now it’s practically a steal. If you haven’t played Before Your Eyes, it’s available on Steam for real cheap for a few more days.…

As I play through the sci-fi adventure that is Harold Halibut, I am often reminded of walking through an aquarium. It’s partially because the game’s gorgeous environments are submerged in, but it’s also because I feel a childlike frustration at the events unfolding in front of me. Like a kid tapping the glass in hopes…

Respawn’s hero shooter battle royale Apex Legends is an incredibly inclusive game for the queer community. It has several playable LGBTQIA+ legends, has given players Pride Flag cosmetics to showcase their identities in-game, and developer Respawn even put a statement supporting trans rights in the game itself. After…

A recent update for Bethesda’s popular post-apocalyptic spin-off, Fallout Shelter, added some characters from the Amazon Prime live-action TV show adaptation to the base-building game. While it’s fun that you can now have some of these characters, like Lucy and Maximus, in your own digital vault, it also reveals their …

The 2024 gaming release calendar has hit a bit of a lull, and a conveniently timed GameStop sale on used games is a great way to quickly catch up on all of the biggest games you may have missed from earlier this year and beyond. A buy 2, get 1 free promotion will let you scoop up new hits like Dragon’s Dogma 2 and Tekk…

Helldivers 2 players are famous proponents of the bit. Since the day the game launched, players have loved roleplaying as the nameless soldiers in the nightmarish galactic war that has been unfolding within it the last several months. At first, this spawned a number of funny videos and skits in which players pretended…

Whoever said you can’t teach an old dog new tricks is apparently a liar, as a Florida-based modder has taught Sony’s first PlayStation console how to do something rather unexpected. Specifically, the tinkerer turned the homebound system into a handheld console using a bunch of hot glue and magnetic wires.

The original Doom, released in 1993, is a damn fine video game. But what if every time you picked up an item you had to pay a small fee to keep playing? That seems like a terrible way to experience this classic shooter. But someone went and made that version of Doom, just in case you were morbidly curious about what…

Overwatch 2’s tenth season begins tomorrow, April 16, and it’s bringing a new hero in Venture, a limited-time event that swaps the series’ good guys and bad guys, and a big balance patch to top it all off. A lot of these changes are predictably small adjustments, but one hero is getting a pretty substantial rework in…

Former Blizzard president Mike Ybarra made waves recently when he suggested that gamers might want to start tipping their favorite games extra. “I’ve often thought ‘I wish I could give these folks another $10 or $20 because it was worth more than my initial $70 and they didn’t try to nickel and dime me every second,’” …

Last week, Bethesda surprised folks by announcing that its long-in-the-works next-gen update for Fallout 4 was arriving in a few weeks.

The recent release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth undoubtedly has made a lot of fans nostalgic for the original PlayStation RPG. I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of people are going back to play it since it’s on just about every modern system you can own these days. Rebirth remakes moments from OG FF7, but it also has…

Like an atomic bomb, Amazon dropped all eight episodes of the Fallout TV show on April 10. The show is full of easter eggs, lore drops, and big implications for the future of the franchise. But some fans were quick to suggest that the show may change the series’ past as well, even arguing that it retcons out entire…

We’re in something of a live-action adaptation renaissance in Hollywood right now, what with the Barbie doll coming to life thanks to Margot Robbie, and Netflix turning a bunch of anime into real-life shows (to varying degrees of success). The hit anime and manga One-Punch Man is getting a similar treatment by Sony…

Since Amazon Prime’s Fallout TV series premiered, the numbers of people playing various Fallout games has shot up all over. Because you’re all a bunch of sheep, doing whatever The Media tells you to. Like, for instance, how I installed Fallout 76 on my Xbox last night.
