The Wait For GTA 6 Feels Like A Crime, So Grab This Excellent Alternative For Less Than $4

Saints Row’s 2022 reboot was, well, a flop. It didn’t have the fun or the charm of the classic games in the series, and while the world was waiting for GTA 6, it should’ve been the lightning-in-a-bottle moment to reignite the love for the dormant Saints. While it didn’t work out, Saints Row: The Third Remastered is still a classic, and you should buy it while you wait for the Grand Theft Auto 6 release date to roll around, especially when it’s under $5. Before GTA V took the world by storm, S

Cancelling Mass Effect And Closing BioWare Was An Obvious Thing For EA To Do, Experts Say

Electronic Arts just confirmed a major shakeup that included the closure of BioWare and cancellation of its upcoming Mass Effect game. Closing the studio and cancelling the project was a horrible thing for the people who worked there and fans who enjoy BioWare games and were looking forward to the next Mass Effect.

BioWare Is No More, But Its Impact On Queer Representation In Video Games Will Live On Forever

BioWare was shuttered by Electronic Arts earlier this week, resulting in 50 or so people losing their jobs and the upcoming Mass Effect 5 being cancelled. While the studio’s last decade of struggles have been frequently documented as games like Mass Effect Andromeda, Anthem, and Dragon Age: The Veilguard failed to live up to expectations, there nevertheless existed an optimism among fans that the magic would return. Much of this fainthearted hope rested on Mass Effect 5, a game many believed wou

Control Resonant’s Unsettling Board Dialogue Is Carefully Crafted Gibberish

Just what is The Board in Control Resonant? While we still have plenty of questions about the otherworldly entity that accompanies players on their trip across Manhattan, one thing we do know is that it's loud, incomprehensible, and you can't understand what it's saying without subtitles. Some players are convinced The Board is saying something specific if you listen closely, but according to developer Remedy Entertainment, it's a little audio trick that makes you hear what you want to hear.

Franchises Like Mass Effect Are a 'Prestige Project' for EA, and BioWare's Closure Was 'Entirely Predictable,' Analysts Say

Final Fantasy Resonance Lets You Take A Five-Minute Single Turn, And It’s Glorious

As if there weren't enough games in October to tempt you, Final Fantasy Resonance is a pretty tempting offer for anyone looking to play an old-school JRPG that features an A-team of Final Fantasy guest characters. It also puts its own twist on Square Enix's HD-2D gameplay formula, as you can break past the barriers of traditional turn-based combat and take down even the spongiest of enemies--if you know how to properly set up all the moves you'll do. Play your cards right, and you can leave your

How Will Gas And Refueling Work In GTA 6?

As more Grand Theft Auto 6 previews roll out, one topic seems to be proving pretty controversial among fans--the realistic need to refuel your vehicle. Some players think it's a little egregious of Rockstar to force you to hunt down gasoline, while others consider that because of the game's other realistic mechanisms--like relationships, working out, and escaping the police--that needing to refuel should have been introduced to the franchise a long while back. While the details aren't concret

Cyberpunk 2077 may have come out six years ago, but developer CD Projekt RED has just released a new update. The 2.5 patch adds a plethora of fixes and features, and it's also themed after Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2, including a themed quest and rewards to boot.

BioWare Did Something Very Rare For The Time: It Took Star Wars Seriously

In what seemed to be an inevitability, Electronic Arts announced the closure of BioWare this week, including the cancellation of its current project, a future iteration in the Mass Effect series. The writing has been on the wall for some time, and EA's recent sale to Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) sealed its fate.
