Western Digital's popular SN850P NVMe SSD will soon be available in an 8TB model. Officially licensed by PlayStation, the SN850P has a preinstalled heatsink, so it's ready to be plugged into the PS5's M.2 slot out of the box. But there is one large snag here: The WD Black 8TB SN850P retails for a staggering $1,000. Though that price is aligned with 8TB models from other manufacturers, this means the small SSD you install in your PS5 costs twice as much as the console itself. But if you...
Save for that blissful half-hour of Silksong that I played back in E3 2019, Constance is, so far, the best Hollow Knight-like game I've ever played. It's not exactly the same--Constance takes a page out of Splatoon's book and features a main character that can wield dangerous purple paint and submerge into puddles in order to slink past enemies or obstacles or ascend up walls--but I couldn't help but be reminded of my time spend in Hallownest. My time with the game was unfortunately quite...
One of the more interesting reveals from Gamescom Opening Night Live this week was a trailer for Secret Level, an upcoming anthology series built around several famous video games. Armored Core will be one of the games in the spotlight, and for a brief moment in the reveal trailer, it looks like that episode might star everyone's favorite assassin and motorcycle enthusiast, Keanu Reeves. In a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment, you can spot a CG version of someone who looks a lot like Reeves in...
It's been nearly eight years since the launch of Civilization 6, and now--thanks to Gamescom Opening Night Live--we have an official release date for Sid Meier's Civilization 7. The long-awaited strategy game arrives on February 11, 2025 for PC, Xbox, PS5, and Switch, with select versions offering early access on February 6. Four different versions are up for preorder, including the Collector's Edition loaded with physical goodies. If you favor physical media, you'll definitely want to take...
Fortnite's new Marvel-dominated season kicked off with a bang on Friday, flooding the island with all sorts of Marvel goodies like various weapons inspired by War Machine's abilities, Captain America's vibranium shield, and Doctor Doom's gauntlets. Two of the items--Cap's Shield and War Machine's Arsenal, particularly when used in conjunction with the new hover jets--were overly difficult to fight against, which immediately led to a new meta in which you either had those items, or you were...
We finally have a release date for Machine Game's upcoming Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. As announced during the Gamescom 2024 Opening Night Live event, the first-person action-adventure game will launch on Xbox Series X|S and PC on December 9. Additionally, it was confirmed that Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will be coming to PS5 in 2025.

When Life Is Strange came out in 2015, it was following in the footsteps of many games before it, but the most apparent were those from Telltale, which at that time was on a hot streak of making adventure games with branching narratives and lots of dialogue choices. Don't Nod made this format its own with Life Is Strange, spawning several sequels and spin-offs over the years to come, always focusing on young people caught up in tumultuous situations but gifted with mysterious supernatural...
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is a big departure for MachineGames, as despite taking place in first-person like the Wolfenstein series, it places a franchise-appropriate emphasis on investigation and exploration over brutal, violent murder sprees. In a new gameplay presentation at Gamescom Opening Night Live, we learned just where Indy will be exploring, as well as a few of the tools he has at his disposal. We also got a release date of December 9, 2024 for the Xbox Series X|S, PC, and...
