If you've been playing Alan Wake 2 you may have noticed just how pretty that game is. I'd go as far to say it's the best looking videogame of 2023. Developer Remedy has done incredibly well to make what could've been a very dull and dark world look vibrant and detailed, and has since divulged what's actually going on behind the scenes in the Northlight engine to achieve it. And boy, it's a lot.
Unsurprisingly, Starfield was the best-selling game in the US for September

If you even keep just a tiny watch on the video game world, you won’t be shocked to learn that Starfield has been quite the big deal. As of September, Bethesda’s epic sci-fi RPG was the top ranking game in the US in terms of sales.
That’s according to a chart uploaded by Circana analyst Mat Piscatella on Twitter. The image gives a rundown of the twenty best-selling games in the US market between the end of August and September 30. Starfield sits comfortably at the top, while new entries such as Mortal Kombat 1 and EA Sports FC 24 are at the number two and number three positions, respectfully.

The figures include both physical and digital copies of the games across all major platforms. As an aside, it’s interesting to see Resident Evil 4 jump up from 27th to 12th place, but that’s almost certainly because of the recent Separate Ways DLC.
And for those trying to spot Baldur’s Gate 3 on the list, Piscatella clarified that digital sales of the RPG aren’t reflected in the list, as “Larian Studios is not a panel member.”
Of course, no one’s surprised to see Starfield at the top. The game was hyped up for quite some time and with no sign of The Elder Scrolls 6, this was all Bethesda fans had to look forward to.
However, things have definitely gone a bit quiet for the game. In fact, if you take a look at the Top Sellers list on Steam, you can see that – at the time of writing – Starfield is now at number 35, having taken quite a drop recently. It’s even below the Special Edition of Skyrim, which goes to show how much staying power TES5 has.
These trends are to be expected, though. As much as Todd Howard and his team would love people to be playing Starfield for many years to come, we can expect to see interest wane as time goes on. That’s just the way it is for most releases.

My search for the best wireless gaming earbuds is over — for now
If you want a set of wireless earbuds made expressly for gaming that plug in via USB-C, you’ll be met with frustratingly few options that are worth your money. Compared to over-ear headsets, where it’s easier for companies to fit handfuls of features, knobs, and buttons, it’s more of a challenge to cram all of that — or even some of it — into a pair of earbuds.

The best Spider-Man gifts for fans
Spider-Man is one of comics’ most popular characters of all time. First appearing in Marvel Comics’ Amazing Fantasy #15 in 1962, the tale of Peter Parker was originally intended as a filler story for a canceled anthology series. But readers responded so strongly to the character created by writer Stan Lee and illustrator Steve Ditko that the “Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man” eventually became one of the most beloved characters in Marvel Comics.

Starfield Secures Top Spot as Best-Selling Game of September - Hardcore Gamer
Since its debut, Game Pass has been seen by some as a double edged sword for developers, since they can easily offer their new title to a larger audience of players that may not have checked it out otherwise, but those players may not go on to purchase the full product even after the game departs from the subscription service’s library, leading to less overall game sales.
