Microsoft, the company that brought us furry Sonic controllers and a Far Cry 6 console that resembled a bomb, has unveiled its latest kooky Xbox Series X sweepstakes, and it may be the coolest/dumbest one yet.

Sucker Punch Productions, the studio behind 2020’s hit new IP Ghost of Tsushima, has revealed it is not working on anything related to its previous Infamous and Sly Cooper franchises. The studio also says that no other developer is working on projects related to the franchises. This news comes from a new blog post highlighting Sucker Punch’s 25th
Every so often, a game development studio comes up with an idea so good other developers insert it into their games. In Pow Wow Entertainment’s newly announced racer, Stuntfest: World Tour, I’m hoping the unique ejector-seat functionality is so jaw-droppingly incredible that it becomes the next craze. In the game’s first trailer, we see drivers
Sea of Stars, the promising-looking retro RPG from the team behind The Messenger, is the latest title to get pushed out of 2022.

Yesterday, Spellbreak developer Proletariat released a blog post detailing the future of its spell-based battle royale that launched years ago. In it, the studio revealed that the servers for Spellbreak will shut down in early 2023, effectively ending the run of this battle royale. This shutdown likely had to do with the game’s low player count.

I don’t buy every iteration of FIFA, but I do want to give each entry a whirl to see how it has rebalanced the balls, tweaked the kicks, and polished the grass. Xbox Game Pass now helps me in my tests by, eventually, adding each iteration, and FIFA 22 is now available through the subscription

The old school FPS revival has largely left me cold, if I’m honest. Even the ones I’ve enjoyed tend to get old within an hour. Most of the things that get recreated aren’t the things I miss about 90s games, and if they were… Doom still exists, you know? So does Blood, and Strife, and
It is important to keep in mind what is going on within Activision Blizzard at this time regarding ongoing allegations about the work culture. The ongoing lawsuit from the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) against the company is over-reported toxic workplace culture.

Illumination’s upcoming animated Mario movie was recently delayed to next spring. Perhaps the biggest downside to that news is the fact that we have to go even longer before hearing what Chris Pratt’s Mario voice sounds like. Today, Variety caught up with Pratt to ask about the film, with the actor describing his take on
