    SCRAP and 213℉ have announced DO NOT PLAY, a point-and-click psychological horror game coming to Steam next year.

    Discussion Dune: Awakening

    It's been ages since I played an MMO. I think the last one I played to any great extent was 2008's Age of Conan: Unchained (originally called Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures). I played it all the way until the end game with several characters at level 80 and took part in a number of raids. I...

    News Death Stranding 2 Lets You Skip Boss Fights But With a Catch

    Is it a cliché to say that Hideo Kajima's games are 'genre-defying'? It's certainly true of Death Stranding, the game that's not a stealth game, not a shooter, and not a sim. Genre-defying is what people reach for when they know the game doesn’t slot neatly into anything. In Death Stranding 2...
