By now gamers have poured over every inch of the major Grand Theft Auto 5 information blowout that dropped yesterday, but few have probably honed in on some of the more interesting tidbits. With talk of three protagonists — which can be swapped to on-the-fly — not a lot of focus has gone into what will make the world of GTA 5, the city of Los Santos, stand out from previous Rockstar Games creations like Vice City or Liberty City....

February is also known as “Creative Romance Month,” a wonderful time to look back at some of the most well-known or highly acclaimed romances found in the Mass Effect franchise. Some of these stories are alien romances between Commander Shepard and various crewmates, while others focus on human romantic interests....
Today, popular Fortnite streamer Tyler “Ninja” Blevins made waves when he announced that he was leaving Twitch to stream exclusively on Mixer, Microsoft’s own streaming platform.

Like most people, Wes Keltner, Studio Head at Gun Interactive, spent most of 2020 working from home. But unlike most people, his job involved him tinkering with a strange little box called the Apprehension Engine. You think of it as a kind of “musical” instrument, with outgrowths of strings and knobs and warped strips of metal jutting out in all directions from its wooden frame, producing demonic twangs and echoes from hell when poked, prodded, and contorted in just the right way....

Valorant has quickly become one of the most popular games of 2020. Riot Games’ new shooter compares favorably to titles such as GS:GO and Overwatch, but it still manages to feel like its own unique experience. Part of what helps Valorant stand out is the Agents.

There’s a beauty of sorts to the openness of battle royale games. When players in games like Fortnite, Apex Legends, and, in this case, Call of Duty: Warzone are free to run around a giant map with a wide assortment of weapons and tools, they’re often free to do things unconventionally and take out their opponents in creative and unique ways, and sometimes those creative solutions are truly incredible, and hilarious....
Into The Stars offers up a slow-paced but atmospheric space-themed survival sim, combining the gameplay elements of The Oregon Trail and Civilization with roguelike mechanics. Over recent years, a number of industry veterans have broken their ties to major developers, instead forging their own path through the land of independent game development. This has proved to be a success in several cases, such as with the critically acclaimed survival title The Flame in the Flood, which was created by a team of ex-BioShock developers....

For example, just today we have our first hint that Left 4 Dead 3 might be in development....
