The original Flashback was a bona fide classic. Released over thirty years ago, this expansive platformer offered silky smooth cinematic visuals, satisfying gunplay, and a surprisingly engaging narrative that was entwined with rock-solid gameplay. Flashback 2 seeks to reclaim the former glory of its past self, offering a modern take on a classic formula. Unfortunately for Flashback 2, and I take no pleasure in saying this, it absolutely sucks.

The fortress of Valfaris disappeared from the stars, and when it came back it was overrun with corruption.  Therion journeyed back to his home to cleanse it and learn why everything went so horribly wrong, but discovered his father, Lord Vroll, as the source of Valfaris’ ruin.  Justice for the citadel’s people was delayed due to Lord Vroll’s escape, but a determined Therion chased after and is ready to renew the attack.  This time, however, instead of a full heavy metal run and gun shooter it’s a side-scrolling blaster from the pilot seat of a giant mech.

Today, Call of Duty: MW3 fans have been laughing and crying, though not all with happiness, due to a newly discovered glitch that allows players to slither around multiplayer maps like snakes and avoid almost all incoming damage.

League of Legends Worlds is a prestigious yearly tournament that wrapped up its 2023 run recently. The victors, T1 from Korea, took home $445,000 along with the gold. In a sad twist of fate—one that belongs in some Greek tragedy—a member of the winning team still didn't get what he wanted.

There’s a lot to be said for the simple things in life. Take, for example, hot buttered toast – possibly the easiest thing you can knock up in your kitchen but utterly delicious, the food of the gods. Simple can also work when it comes to games, in fact smiple had to workback in the 1980s, when your standard arcade cabinet had less memory than a particularly forgetful goldfish and all the processing power of a mildly surprised lettuce.

Valve followed through on its promise to change Steam's regional pricing for Argentina and Turkey on November 20, meaning games in those countries will now be priced in US dollars instead of the Turkish lira and Argentine peso. The goal, Valve said back in October, is to prevent game developers from having to constantly adjust their prices to keep up with the stunning volatility of the Turkish and Argentine currencies. Instead, they ought to be able to set a regionally appropriate price in USD and forget about it.

I genuinely despise writing negative reviews. There are real human beings behind every project, and bad games are seldom the product of moral failings, but instead are typically caused by an unfortunate convergence of factors both predictable and otherwise.

So far, Activision has kept the precise timings under wraps when it comes to the MW3 Season One release date. We do know it's coming in early December, and based on last year's MW2 timings, we reckon that'll probably mean the first week of December. A full breakdown of Season One is still on the cards, and when it's live we'll be sure to update this page.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3's infamous Gaia skin will finally be disabled and updated, revealed developer Sledgehammer Games.

To celebrate its 25th birthday, Valve updated Half-Life and gave it away for free. At the same time, it released an hour-long documentary in which the original developers talked about making the influential FPS.

New entries in the loot, shoot, then loot some more series (Borderlands) might be in the works.

Call of Duty: MW3 has a plethora of modes for players to flit between as they become frustrated with one and need a break. The Experimental Playlists are one of the best because they’re unlike anything currently in the game’s core rotations.

There’s a correct method to jamming two corncob holders into a teenager’s ears for maximum terror. Eli Roth has known the way since he was a kid in Massachusetts, shooting horror movies in his backyard and coming up with kills that would eventually find their way into his new slasher, Thanksgiving, 40 years later. The gag is simple: Start with the corn picks tucked in the screen victim’s ear, yank them out at full-speed, and make sure the actor is screaming at the beginning and surprised at the end. When it’s all played in reverse, the practical effect looks absolutely gruesome — or, for a horror movie, perfect.

Super Mario RPG has, for whatever reason, removed a reference to Bruce Lee that Mallow used to make in the Forest Maze before taking on Bowyer.

You will come across regular Hinoxes, Blue Hinoxes, skeletal Stalnoxes, and the powerful Black Hinoxes throughout Hyrule.

With Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® III officially live, the community has begun its journey through the ranks of a packed multiplayer mode and an open-world Zombies experience.

The magic-powered FPS Immortals of Aveum didn't really blow our doors off when we reviewed it back in August: The shooting was fun, but its characters and story left us cold.

That trail continues today as Monarch: Legacy of Monsters premieres on Apple TV+, continuing the Monsterverse story from exciting new perspectives of its nuanced human protagonists.

The moon of Pandora is host to a pair of different worlds; the harmonious, nature-loving Na’vi and the industrial, destructive humans of the RDA.

Following a disappointing reveal at the PlayStation State of Play earlier this year, Rocksteady took another stab at introducing fans to Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League with the first entry in a new video series called Suicide Squad Insider.

Fortnite has begun age-restricting certain cosmetics, despite being rated 12+ by PEGI. That's because its Creative mode, which is essentially Epic Games' answer to Roblox, has a different age rating system to Save the World and Battle Royale. Map creators can individually rate their worlds, choosing to stick with Fortnite's or to go lower, so certain skins have been disabled for worlds that are rated under 12.

Last night, Rocksteady released a 20-minute gameplay video of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, unveiling it for the first time since delaying it earlier this year. While the live-service elements like the battle pass are still proving controversial, it's an unrelated snippet from a seven-second clip that's riled up gamers.

There's something quite enticing about dark fairytales and an ink-y aesthetic, so tiny tactical puzzle Howl had already caught my eye earlier this year.

Spider-Boy has strange origins as a human-spider hybrid created by the sinister Madame Monstrosity, and now his hidden monstrous nature seems to be catching up to him in February's Spider-Boy #4 from writer Dan Slott and artists Paco Medina and Ty Templeton, which guest stars Miles Morales as seen on the just revealed cover of the issue by artist Humberto Ramos, seen below.

Xbox revealed which games are coming to Game Pass in the second half of November, and it’s a much more sparse offering than the one it gave in the first half of the month.

Batman: Arkham developer Rocksteady Studios peeled back the curtain on Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League in a new 20-minute video on Wednesday, a preview that sure goes a long way toward addressing the tepid reception to the game’s previous reveal.

The Last Faith feels like a good cover of a song you love, or a solid genre movie that isn’t going to push any boundaries, but will scratch an itch for digestible, reliable entertainment. If you like 2D platforming through big, non-linear maps that open up as you unlock new ways to maneuver around their obstacles, grinding through chaff that can be surprisingly resilient and clever on your way to big challenging boss fights, and a dark world fresh out of an apocalyptic event that needs your help to save whatever’s left of it, then this game is for you. It plays all the hits respectably, and even adds a few of its own flourishes, like an armory of clever weapons and flashy spells. But it does not over achieve, and is often a reminder of how much more special the games it’s clearly inspired by are in comparison.

It may be a while until we see a new Steam Deck, but Valve’s recent announcement of the OLED variant will no doubt see increased interest in the handheld PC. In fact, we can already see a bit of evidence of this, as the device is now the top-selling release on Steam at the moment.

I have to be honest; I’m not much of a first-person shooter kind of gamer. Still, when Modern Warfare 3 came out, I figured I’d give it a go. It had been a while since I’d tried to play Call of Duty, and surely I couldn’t be as terrible at it as I remembered.

Nacon has released some top-tier controllers over the years, and now the Revolution 5 is out for the PlayStation 5 and PC. The Revolution 5 Pro is Nacon’s sixth overall controller and features Hall effect technology in the analog sticks. This technology has been used in a few controllers over the years, but is generally used for only the sticks whereas here, they’re used in the sticks and the triggers.

Call of Duty has outshone and outlasted the competition in video games for two decades because it makes the everyday soldier into a hero and it puts you at the center of spectacular combat missions.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has quite an interesting approach to players disobeying directions during the campaign.

Jane Wu understood the journey of a young warrior slashing her way through a male-dominated hierarchy of power. Though Amber Noizumi and Michael Green (Logan, Blade Runner 2049) co-created the new Netflix series Blue Eye Samurai, they found the hard-R animated epic’s soul in Wu, a storyboard artist, director, and martial artist whose unsung role in blockbuster action over the last 20 years made her an obvious choice to oversee the series’ direction. Blue Eye Samurai follows Mizu, a young woman of mixed race in 17th-century Japan, who masquerades as a male samurai to find four white men hiding out in the country — and the one who’s likely her father. Wu’s ascent in the action and animation industries wasn’t as bloody as Blue Eye Samurai, but it was as rigorous.
