Free Games
Epic Games Store is offering two very good games for free this week and you shouldn't miss them.
It's not unusual for Epic Games Store to offer free games on PC. In fact, the digital distribution platform from the creators of Fortnite has been doing so at least once per week for quite a long while and we are accustomed to it. The variety of games that they offer is quite big and covers a lot of genres, but this week there are two games available for free that deserve a comment: Hand of Fate 2 and Alien:...

News
Microsoft has published a list of games that do not require you to pay an Xbox Live Gold subscription, not even to play online.
For some time now, the online subscription for Microsoft's consoles, Xbox Live Gold, has been increasingly shunned by gamers. The discontent had risen a notch when Microsoft announced at the beginning of the year a price increase for its subscription, planning to raise the monthly price from 6.99€ to 8.99€ and making it much less competitive with the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate in which the Gold is included. It is not impossible that this move was an attempt to push...

Focus Home Interactive takes a new approach at the Warhammer 40K franchise with a new first-person shooter, Necromunda: Hired Gun.
Games Workshop's tabletop miniature games have been a source of inspiration for many video game developers. From Total War: Warhammer to Dawn of War, there are plenty of ways of immersing yourself into the universes of Warhammer Fantasy and Warhammer 40K through video games, and each of them offers a different perspective of the conflict between the forces of order and chaos. But on this occasion, we are specifically talking about Necromunda, a miniature game that focuses on the...

Do not miss Resident Evil RE: Verse open beta and give a try to the new multiplayer experience that Capcom has prepared.
Capcom took a completely new approach to the Resident Evil series with the addition of a multiplayer mode when Resident Evil 3 was released. We thought that Resident Evil: Resistance was meant to be a standalone game that would put you in the shoes of a group of survivors trapped in an isolated facility by an evil mastermind. The game was announced as a multiplayer cooperative asymmetrical experience in which survivors would have to escape from their imprisonment...

Developer Double Fine confirms that Psychonauts 2 is still in the works and we will be able to play it this year.
The first installment of the Psychonauts series celebrated its 15th anniversary last September, but fans have been waiting for its sequel for more than five years. Psychonauts 2 was indeed officially announced back in 2015 at The Game Awards ceremony, but it's one of those games whose development has not been easy. While the first Psychonauts game received excellent reviews from the players, it was a real commercial failure for Double Fine. It was difficult to make a...

You now have access to all the DLC released to date if you own Max Payne 3 or L.A. Noire on PC.
Sometimes it's quite difficult to understand the reason behind some actions when it comes to video game developers. What happened yesterday with Rockstar Games could be considered a good example. Both Max Payne 3 and L.A. Noire are games that have been available for a long while. The first one was released in 2012 and as the third installment in the popular third-person shooting series, it follows the adventures of Max Payne as he is pulled into a war between rival...

A new gameplay system will give you access to any loot box item in The Elder Scrolls Online without having to pay real money for it.
Loot boxes are quite a controversial feature in most cases and they are even considered as gambling in certain countries, but they are a common way of getting additional income for game developers. Paying real money for a chance of getting an exclusive cosmetic item or a minor boost is something that most players agree with, but when we are talking of items that give you a certain advantage in combat all alarms seem to trigger for most people, especially...
