Horror games are a great way to show off new technology, allowing for features like ray tracing to really shine, so it’s no surprise that Microsoft took advantage of that during the Inside Xbox event. Microsoft has already announced it will be holding monthly Xbox Series X streams over the summer as part of its Xbox 20/20 initiative, and Sony is yet to properly reveal the PlayStation 5 to the world, meaning that with or without E3 2020, there’s going to be plenty of next-gen news on the horizon, and more horror games to be revea
TimeSplitters is a light-hearted FPS title that revolves around time travel and the results that can have on the past, present, and future. While the story frequently makes jokes and pokes fun at itself, the gunplay is incredibly tight and hearkens back to an older generation of shooters in a good way. Superb multiplayer kept players engaged for hundreds of hours after the campaign was over, and the in-depth map editor made every multiplayer game different from the last. With the recent trend of remaking older classics, there is no reason TimeSplitters shouldn’t get a reboot.
Fable 3 is one of those games that makes you think “why, why isn’t this game good?” Any Xbox owner back in the early-to-mid 2000s would’ve told you that the Fable franchise could contend with the greats. And all it needed was a crowing third game to solidify this franchise as one of the best – but, that never c

Developed by Ebb Software and heavily inspired by the works of H. R. Giger, the original designer of the Xenomorph from Alien , Scorn is a first-person horror game that was first announced all the way back in 2014. After ongoing issues with funding, Scorn is back and in development for Xbox Series X and PC. Set in a nightmarish universe, Ebb Software has designed the game around the idea of players being thrown into an unsettling environment that makes them question what they see. Each location contains its own theme, and players will need to acquire skills, unlock weapons, and complete puzzles to make it out al
It’s that good and you can tell that Obsidian and show creators, Matt Stone and Trey Parker put every bit of their hearts into it. Maybe the humor can be crude, but why on God’s good earth would you pick this up if you didn’t expect that. There’s not much more to say except go play it and have the time of your l
Destiny is a franchise that gets too much flak. It reminds me of the kind of treatment that games like Call of Duty and Fortnite receive, because while not bad, most critics hate the idea of what they are, and rightfully so. But Destiny deserves some credit – the graphics are reality breaking, the gameplay addicting once you’re sucked in and the loot, ok we gu
Today, several games were shown during Microsoft’s Inside Xbox event, the first of a series of events that are being planned over the next few months. With a first-party event planned for July, the focus was on third-party games coming to Xbox Series X, and while the Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla “gameplay” reveal was the star attraction, there was a surprising number of next-gen horror games featured in the showc
Zombies as a sub-genre are over-saturated in, well, everything. They’ve long taken over our movies and books, but in gaming, they’ve reached a new height of fatigue. Nazi Zombies, State of Decay and Days Gone are just some of the many that tired the genre. But not Killing Floor, this game – while not the prettiest or most modern – broke new ground in a genre where that was previously thought impossi
It should take new players somewhere around ten hours to complete their first playthrough, and series veterans could likely do it in half the time. This is primarily thanks to the lack of meaningful sidequests or extraneous cont
In fact, it is one of the most pirated games Ubisoft has ever created. Why? Because you can’t buy it legally anywhere. It’s missing on Steam , GOG , and even Ubisoft’s own UPlay store. It receives that attention for good reason, though . This game allowed players to control any vehicle on the road, allowing for some creative puzzles and narrative elements no other driving game has since attempted. It is also the only video game to attempt a second-person perspective for a level. This Adventure Game Online guide was truly innovative and creative, which makes it even worse that you can’t legally purchase it anymore.
