Metro Conflict: The Origin

Remedy reveals the upcoming action RPG Control Resonant is a lot longer than 2019's Control, requiring some 30 hours to beat

The Steam Machine got announced earlier today with an eye-watering $1049 asking price for the entry-level 512GB model. But that's probably not the price Valve had in mind for its mini gaming PC.When I got a chance to sit down with Valve Engineers Pierre-Loup Griffais and Yazan Aldehayyat last week to talk about the Steam Machine, I asked them what the Steam Machine would have cost before the current memory market. And while neither of them would give me a hard number, I was told that it was "probably similar" to the price increase that the Steam Machine experienced last month. So

In an age where single-player first-person shooters are slowly going extinct because they only make money for their publisher once while multiplayer live-service shooters vie for our time and attention on a daily basis (and often contain lots of bullsh*t, like microtransactions and/or drawn-out gameplay loops), Metro 2039’s single-player-only craftsmanship and attention to detail after my first few hours with it have me already prepared to call it my favorite first-person shooter in a long time.

From moral panic to celebrity law suits and hidden sex minigames, this is GTA’s complicated history with controversy.

The entire Mass Effect trilogy is fantastic, but the first game's story is head-and-shoulders above the tales told in the later games.
