Yes, it’s one of the slowest weapons to reload in the game. The reload animation loads a single shell at a time, but that also means you won’t waste any rounds...

There are more games coming out every day than ever before, but the total number of people playing them hasn’t seemed to grow by nearly the same amount. Former SIE Worldwide Studios Chairman Shawn Layden says that mismatch can’t be fixed just by churning out endless big-budget sequels and more powerful hardware. The Best Reveals From The Game Awards 2023 “If we’re just going to rely on the blockbusters to get us through, I think...

A $400 million project that reportedly sold fewer than 25,000 copies, and never saw more than 700 people playing at once on Steam, pulled from sale and deleted from PS5s two weeks after its disastrous launch. So, it’s kinda weird that it’s still receiving updates. The Week In Games: A Star Wars...

Joker: Folie à Deux might be getting clowned on at the box office, but another clown is having a ball meanwhile. Terrifier 3 is killing it as we speak (given its minuscule $2 million budget), and according to creator Damien Leone, two more flicks are on the cards.

It appears it’s...

If you move the left stick around during the dash portion of the Rush Super, you’ll be able to sway a little bit. It’s not free-rein movement since you’re still going to be locked onto the enemy, but it is an interesting option. I usually do this if I’m using a super at an awkward angle, such...

Microsoft’s determination to destroy the great reputation of Game Pass continues apace, with the news that the corporation has suddenly pulled its years-long offer of a two-week trial subscription for a dollar, just a week before it adds Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 to the subscription. The Best Reveals From The Game Awards 2023 Cast your mind back to the halcyon days of June, 2024, and you’ll remember that Xbox’s Game Pass was this...

Screenshot: Blizzard / Kotaku Can you ever satisfy the Diablo community? Does anything other than madness lie in wait for those who try? With the recent release of expansion pack Vessel of Hatred, squillions of people returned to the ARPG, but are they happy? Are they capable of happiness?
