Tireless: Prepare For the Adrenaline

In case you somehow missed the news, Grand Theft Auto 6 preorders start June 25 at midnight local time, depending on your region. Now I've covered a few big preorders in my time, most notably the PS5 six years ago and the Nintendo Switch 2 just last year, and in my experience, it always goes the same: complete and utter chaos! Websites crash. Queues form. Social media melts down. You know the drill.If you want a bit of help navigating the madness, I've put together my standard cheat sheet of all the ways IGN's expert shopping team (including myself) handles the stress of a big vide

If you're impatiently waiting for the release of Marvel's Wolverine on the PS5, these six essential X-Men comics will help you prepare.

There are plenty of ways that Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave is building out the features that defined Three Houses. I remain very interested to see how your decisions in the past will have an effect on characters teaming up in the present timeline, and I’m more excited than ever to see each of the story paths to completion to see how they’ll help me turn the tides and save the world from its ultimate destruction.

Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 seems like one of those lazy Sunday games, where you kill part of an afternoon playing a couple hours with friends. It gets Aliens and understands that forty miles of bad road Cameron envisioned. As a co-op game, it’s not going to change the world. Aliens already did that. But it’s a great excuse to play around in that world again, and I’m eager to see what else LV-558 has in store.

If Insomniac has proved anything over the last eight years, it’s that they know how to make a hell of a superhero game. Marvel's Spider-Man remains one of the PlayStation 4’s defining action games and a shining example of open-world design, as are both of its follow-ups. Now they’re looking to replicate that magic with Marvel's Wolverine, albeit this time as a traditional linear AAA action game. I got to play about two and half hours at a recent preview event, and while my impressions are mostly glowingly positive, I did come away with a few questions and concerns.
