Even if you don’t care about the rivalries between the top multiplayer first-person shooters series, it’s hard to ignore how much EA wanted to stick it to Call of Duty this year with Battlefield 6. Activision saw that coming early enough that it ran multiple free weekends around major moments for EA’s game, including its launch, seemingly in an effort to capture some of those players and keep them away from BF6.

Horses is an upcoming narrative-driven horror game you’ve probably never heard of set to launch next month on the Epic Games Store, Humble Store, GOG, and Itch.io. But you won’t be able to find the creepy indie title on Steam, and the Italian studio behind Horses claims it doesn’t know why Valve is blocking the game from its PC storefront. On November 25, indie studio Santa Ragione published a trailer for Horses that revealed the game’s December 2 release date. However, it also sports an interesting badge at the end claiming the game has been banned from Steam. At the…

The original Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines, which was released in 2004, is widely celebrated as one of the best role-playing games ever created. Its sequel, Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2, not so much. This may have to do with the fact that Bloodlines 2 isn’t much of an RPG, and neither is it really a sequel.

Speaking with Cat Burton on The Goth Boss Podcast, Pinchbeck describes how The…

The work to continue streamlining Challenges in Battlefield 6 is clearly not done. Having just released a new patch – which already included several updates to Challenges and Assignments – Battlefield Studios has gone in and made even more changes.

It’s that time of the year again, right before Thanksgiving, when stores and online retailers treat Black Friday as a weeks-long event and not a single day of the year. Strange, but hey, it leads to a lot of great deals, so I’m not complaining. Sony is getting in on the early action with a massive digital PSN store Black Friday sale consisting of a mix of first and third-party PlayStation 5 games, ranging from newer releases, like this year’s Death Stranding 2, to older hits like The Last of Us and Spider-Man. This big Black Friday PSN sale goes…
