Summary I hate the Alliance. Why? Because they’ve always been the favored faction inWorld of Warcraft. So when it came to my attention that the upcoming final raid boss of the current retail expansion, The War Within, showcases the Void Lord, Dimensius – now the size of a kaiju and stomping over Stormwind – I got excited. Excited in a way that I haven’t since the expansion’s release a year ago....
Quick Links When you start a game ofMage Arena, you spawn in a castle with a bunch of items. However, the most important item in the game is the spellbook and the torn pages that hold spells. You can cast these spells by speaking their name out, as long as the game detects what you’re saying. There are a total of nine spells in the game, and each one does something unique....

The free-to-play giant robot shooterMecha Breakhas been an instant hit on Steam,nearing almost 100,000 concurrent playersjust hours after its release on the platform. Mecha Break’s most recent demo peakedat over 300,000 players, so the success of Amazing Seasun Games' latest offering isn’t entirely unexpected. The game already offers a substantial selection of modes, including a 3v3 player-versus-player (PvP) mode, a more complex 6v6 mode, and a player-versus-player-versus-environment (PvPvE) extraction shooter-style mode....
WhenMindsEyelaunched, we didn’t have any pre-launch reviews. However, the reviews were going to come in eventually, and now, there are enough to give the game an average score on Metacritic. Right now, MindsEye has a Metacritic score of just 43, based on the six reviews that have come out so far. That’s enough to make it the most poorly received game of 2025 so far, and it’s unlikely that further reviews will boost the score much more than this....
We’re getting to a point of post-modernism in gaming where everything is becoming impossible to describe genre soup, so forgive me for leading with a reductive ‘this game meets that game’ line, but it’s easier than saying, “Mistfall Hunter is a third-person action RPG dungeon crawling extraction shooter PvPvE game with battle royale andSoulslikeelements.” Well dang, I guess I just said it anyway. I liked my time with Mistfall: Hunters at Summer Game Fest earlier this month....

Full-motion video is easy to giggle at now that we’re decades removed from its prominence in arcades of the ‘80s and homes of the ‘90s. Heck, you could argue we didn’t take it very seriously at the time, either. BeforeDead Take, we saw it nowadays as a brief hiccup in gaming history (its Wikipedia article links directly to a list of gaming’s greatest commercial failures), but FMV was a once-delightful staple of the time....
Summary AKoei Tecmoproducer has claimed that theNintendo Switch 2is about as powerful as theXbox Series S, instead of the PS4 like we all previously assumed. Before we all finally got our hands on the Switch 2 last week, one of the biggest question marks surrounding the console was how powerful it was going to be. This is the case for every new bit of hardware, but it’s especially notable for the Switch 2considering how admittedly limited the original console’s specs were, and how muchNintendowas pushing for ports and upgrades....
Summary In one month’s time we’ll all, hopefully, be playing with our brand-newNintendo Switch 2consoles. Whether that’sdiving into Mario Kart Worldor intoa GameCube title via the new Switch Online additions, there will be plenty to digest. In the leadup to the Switch 2’s release there’s been a lot — and we mean A LOT — of leaks and speculation,so much so that a Nintendo marketing exec implied it made the company uncomfortable....

Summary The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remasteredhas provided the perfect gateway for new players to enter the world of Cyrodiil. While some veteran players are eagerly awaiting newcomers to stumble acrossthe game’s more annoying quests, others areleaving words of advice for their fellow adventurers. One of the major difficulties new players have encountered is the Breaking the Siege of Kvatch quest. It’s a quest that becomes notoriously more difficult the higher-level players become, which has led to a series of warnings to newbies not to power level....
Techlandhas confirmed in a recent interview thatDying Light: The Beast"isn’t planned" to includeDying Light 2’s controversial post-launch DL Points. AlthoughDying Light 2 is generally considered to be a solid sequel to the first gamethat added some great new mechanics (especially when it came to movement),it’s fair to say it didn’t quite live up to expectations at launch. Things weren’t helped by some of thestrange additions and changes that were made to the game after it released....
