Apple is increasingly focusing on building its own devices and expanding its ecosystem by taking steps towards a more native experience for users and relying less on third-party accessories. While the Cupertino-based tech giant's HomePod and AppleTV have left quite the mark in the smart home category, it generally relies more on outsourcing cameras and other hardware for smart homes. Now, a new report suggests that the company intends to create a fully integrated experience by developing its own smart home accessories. Gurman hints about Apple working on making smart home products like security cameras for a more integrated experience […]

It’s been a few years since we’ve heard or seen anything about that Borderlands movie starring Cate Blanchett, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Kevin Hart. So it was great to finally get our first real look at the cast in some new screenshots and oh… oh no. Read ...
The WWE 2K franchise has spent the last couple of years finding its feet again after the disastrously received WWE 2K20, with last year’s WWE 2K23 being quite a solid effort in my estimation, even if it wasn’t quite the cohesive overall package I was hoping for. This year’s WWE 2K24 looks to build on that sturdy foundation with a wider array of new features than last year, including a new 2K Showcase celebrating WrestleMania’s 40th birthday, several new match types, gameplay updates like Super Finishers, and more (you can check out my full hands-on impressions here). As in the past, […]
The WWE 2K games have rallied in recent years after some near franchise-killing missteps, with WWE 2K22 offering up a largely successful revamp of the franchise’s core action and WWE 2K23 keeping the rudder steady while offering a few major additions like the new War Games match. This year’s WWE 2K24 seems to be focused on building out the series’ roster of modes and features, with added in-ring abilities, a wide-ranging 2K Showcase celebrating WrestleMania’s 40th birthday, Ambulance and Coffin matches, and other new ways to play. I recently had the opportunity to travel to Tampa, Florida to go hands-on […]
On Tuesday, players noticed that Spec Ops: The Line was no longer available to purchase on Steam, leading many to fear that the acclaimed third-person shooter had been quietly delisted without warning. Sadly, 2K has since confirmed that is the case, an...
A new year means another entry in the industry’s flagship wrestling franchise, and today 2K and Visual Concepts have pulled the curtain back on WWE 2K24. This year, the face on the cover will be Cody Rhodes, or at least he will be if you buy the standard edition. The Deluxe Edition will be fronted by the pair of Bianca Belair and Rhea Ripley, and the 40 Years of WrestleMania premium edition will feature an array of WWE legends on the cover. The first trailer for WWE 2K24 will be revealed this evening during Monday Night Raw. We’ll add that […]
Within the last few years, video game industry layoffs have unfortunately become more commonplace. In 2023, we saw near-weekly layoffs across the entire industry. When the dust had settled, at least 6,000 jobs across publishers, developers, and other v...

Last year’s NBA 2K23 was a true championship-worthy basketball game, offering up rewarding on-court action, a refined career mode, and a variety of nostalgia-tweaking content (like the returning Jordan Challenge) […]
Gearbox Entertainment loves bundles, so naturally it just announced Borderlands Collection: Pandora’s Box, which combines every game in the loot shooter series except for last year’s Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands. It’ll be available on every console except S...
If you, like me, are furious that your team is out of the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup, there’s a TikTok trend that serves as a good outlet for your rage. All you have to do is boot up FIFA 23 and get your revenge by beating the absolute piss out of, sa...
We’re still making it through 2023 and a surprising number of games have already been killed off, as devs have announced their impending deaths. Normally, we’d reserve this list for the end-of-the-year round-up, but we’re ringing the death knell early ...
