The creators of Escape from Tarkov may be looking for their own escape at the moment, after enraging the extraction shooter’s community with a new top-tier edition of the game that’s come under fire for its extortionate cost, “pay-to-win” offerings and for U-turning on the promise of free DLC for buyers of a previous bundle.

It’s always a bit weird to go back to a game you finished for story-centric DLC, especially when the base game had a pretty definitive ending. However, those that have just a little bit more left in the tank can take the opportunity to give a game you really loved one more high note to end on. I often think of the Mass Effect 3 Citadel DLC as the best example–an oddly placed, yet near-perfect send-off. Final Fantasy XVI: The Rising Tide evokes similar feelings in that I was just happy to have an excuse to revisit that world and…

Cobra Kai fans finally have some clarity about how, exactly, this new Karate Kid movie fits into everything. Sony Pictures just moved the new movie’s release date from December 13 to May 30, 2025, specifically so it could be released after the sixth and final season of Cobra Kai. Read more…
If you’ve been anxiously awaiting news from Xbox Game Studios and The Coalition about Gears of War 6, know that you’re not alone. Thankfully, the wait might be coming to an end really soon, as the rumor mill is heating up. While the timing makes sense (Gears 5 came out in 2019), AAA development is so screwed up nowadays that making these predictions is almost pointless. Recent reports, however, have claimed that a sixth mainline Gears of War is indeed part of Xbox’s summer plans to wow the gaming sphere. Now, we may have just received proper confirmation from…
The Escape from Tarkov community hasn’t received well the news of a brand-new most expensive edition replacing the old one and barring them from a previously promised DLC, among other things. While it’s been continuously praised over the last few years as one of the best online FPS games on the market and the king of the ‘extraction’ subgenre, Escape from Tarkov’s approach to pricing and paid upgrades has always been iffy to say the least, and the Unheard Edition’s announcement might’ve been the straw that breaks the camel’s back. According to developer Battlestate Games, the Unheard Edition gives…
Playing an F1 game is all about pretending to be an F1 driver – and usually realising how terrible you’d likely be if that dream somehow came true. In the realm of Career Mode, however, you can always be the uber-skilled lovechild of Ayton Senna, Michael Schumacher, and Lewis Hamilton that you like to think of yourself as. As part of a hands-off preview that saw us learn about the handling changes coming with EA Sports F1 24, we also got a rundown of the freshly revamped Career Mode it’ll feature. The big news? You’re no longer limited just…
Ok, so Fallout 4’s next-gen update finally drops this week, and, obviously, it’s not remotely close to being Fallout 5. If you’ve been among the droves of folks returning to everything from Fallout 76 to New Vegas after enjoying Amazon’s Fallout TV show, you don’t need me to tell you that it’s been a little while since we’ve had a new Fallout game. Bethesda’s been busy with Starfield and is now moving on to The Elder Scrolls 6, but, at some point – hopefully before 2077 – Fallout 5 should be a thing. Though, while it’s still a weird…
The FX limited series Shogun ended on April 23, and fans of the ten-episode drama are clamoring for a second go-round; however, that’s not likely to happen, according to showrunner Justin Marks and writer Rachel Kondo. This is because the series was based on the novel of the same name by the late James Clavell, who didn’t write a sequel. Set in 17th-century feudal Japan, it tells the story of shipwrecked English navigator John Blackthorne (Cosmo Jarvis) who spends the rest of his days in the country. Blackthorne’s character was based on the real-life William Adams who, in 1600,…
