This one sounds really good. I hope it stays strong, as I really want a non-Nintendo Mario Kart style game.

I'll expect disappointment again. I love Madden games, but they are basically on my auto-skip list anymore.

TL;DR: Xbox has unexpectedly halted development on the highly anticipated game Contraband by Avalanche Studios, causing a stir in the gaming community. Announced with much hype at the 2021 E3, the game promised a 1970s smuggling adventure but quickly fell into obscurity amid internal disputes...

I haven't gotten a chance to try it, but I thought fighters were supposed to be one of the major improvements of BF6.

I've never played a shooter that balanced it well. Halo, for example, always favored the controller as the aim assist was very high, while Counter-Strike needed a mouse as the instant movement of a mouse simply beat out scrolling with a joystick in a single-shot game. I am less mindful of this...

TL;DR: Old School RuneScape (OSRS) has reached its highest concurrent player count ever, surpassing 240,000 on August 3. The game's growth is spurred by the Varlamore expansion, which introduced new regions, quests, and gameplay features, revitalizing player engagement. A surge in interest is...

They must not have had the extra money to keep it running.

TL;DR: DICE introduces a nuanced crossplay structure for Battlefield 6, featuring "console-preferred" matchmaking to primarily group console players together, minimizing PC interactions unless necessary for full lobbies. This approach aims to balance cross-platform play while addressing concerns...

TL;DR: Lawsuit involving Subnautica 2 developers and publisher Krafton alleges sabotage to avoid a $250 million payout. Former Unknown Worlds executives claim Krafton deliberately hindered the game’s release, impacting both financial targets and fan anticipation. The dispute highlights tensions...

I feel like he should have used a better AI to create a higher detailed character model. ^^; But overall, I do see more of these LLMs getting avatars so they can present themselves more as a companion than a tool.

I have been tracking these games. The problem is that I really try to push the kid towards games with puzzles and such to try and keep them away from the mindless loop of gaming. Idk how well that goes or if it is even worth it, but I never found the core Sonic games able to stand with the...

I think the real deciding factor here isn’t raw hardware power but the game library. The Switch 2 looks fantastic and its first-party Mario/Zelda lineup is unbeatable, but all my titles live on Steam—so I’m sticking with the Steam Deck for now. That said, we’ll probably snag a Switch 2 down the...

Thank-you everyone!
