Big Walk Is Destined To Be Your Next Big Co-Op Obsession

Often my job involves playing games before they come out. Sometimes, this means I'll come away feeling like I've just played the next big thing. That's one of the most exciting parts of my job, really, and it happened yesterday; I'm certain Big Walk is the next big thing.  Developed by Untitled Goose Game's House House, Big Walk is a two- to 12-player co-op game in which you explore a huge island full of puzzles and secrets.

This Isn’t The First Time PlayStation (And Others) Tried To Kill Used Games

As monumental as Sony’s decision to abandon PlayStation discs by 2028 is, it isn’t surprising one bit. The move feels like the culmination of industry trends dating back over a decade, and it recalls one egregious business practice--one that took aim at the used-game market, whether companies would admit it or not--that caused a brief uproar before fading away into the depths of our collective memory. There was a period at the end of the 2000s and start of the 2010s when big publishers inclu

Even the Dota 2 pros are bored with Tier 1 tournaments: Let’s shake it up with Fearless Draft and Tier 2 teams

Last week, tournament organizer BLAST announced changes to its Dota 2 series, the BLAST Slam, revealing that they’re cutting the prize pool down from $1 million to $750,000. And to be completely honest, this wasn’t a shocker to me. The Dota scene gets a million-dollar tournament almost every single month, from the aforementioned BLAST Slam, … Continued The post Even the Dota 2 pros are bored with Tier 1 tournaments: Let’s shake it up with Fearless Draft and Tier 2 teams appeared firs

I’m Breaking Up With Love And Deepspace

Earlier this year, Infold invited me to attend Love and Deepspace's second anniversary event. At this point, I had been playing the game on and off for about a year. I was juggling questionable relationships with both Zayne, the main character's physician, and Sylus, the violent leader of a crime syndicate. And while I wasn't as financially invested as many players, I certainly had fostered a level of emotional investment in the game, its story, and its charming characters. I was thrilled to be

Nintendo Switch 2 physical media is here to stay (for now) – here’s why

Things haven’t been so good for the video game industry lately – that’s a very light way to put it, at least. Between Microsoft laying off over 1,000 Xbox employees and Sony completely phasing out production of new physical discs by 2028, deep-rooted issues have taken hold of both consumers and employees. And with all of that news about Sony... The post Nintendo Switch 2 physical media is here to stay (for now) – here’s why appeared first on Nintendo Everything.

Dear Magical Girls combines a tale of burnout with a tactical defence puzzle in which you shape and reshape a field of sorcery

I am just savvy enough with anime and manga to hesitantly observe that there are at least two broad types of "magic girl" story. There are the naive and upbeat ones in which the magic girls sincerely believe all the nonsense they yell about the power of Hope and such, and then there are the ones where magic girling is revealed to be an exploitative racket awash with misogyny and overwork.

The Video Games You Should Play This Weekend – July 10, 2026

The video game industry is experiencing what can politely be referred to as a rough patch. Last week, we learned of Sony's intention to abandon physical media, which is dispiriting, and this week, we learned leadership at Microsoft is in the process of laying off more than 3,000 developers at various studios. Stories surrounding this topic are, sadly, some of bigg

Review: Call of Duty: Black Ops (PS5) - One Big Rip-Off

The dollars, Mason.I’m all for ports, remasters, and remakes of old games, but even I’m struggling to rationalise why the first Call of Duty: Black Ops has landed on PS5 in 2026.A multiplayer legend of the PS3 days? Absolutely. It came at the peak of Call of Duty dominance and became a strong fan favourite. However, that was 16 years ago, and nostalgia can’t paper over enough cracks to justify a barebones port.Read the full article on pushsquare.com

Microsoft Refutes Notion That Foreign-Worker Visas Were Behind Mass Xbox Layoffs

Since news broke of Microsoft's recent round of mass layoffs--which affected 1,600 people immediately and will reach double that number over the next year--a number of reports have claimed that mass approvals of foreign-worker visas were behind the decision. Now, Microsoft communications lead Frank X. Shaw has refuted what he calls "bad information." In a Twitter post, Shaw said that while there are Microsoft workers using H-1B visas, they are "not specific to Xbox and represent a small per

This Promising DayZ Rival Is Thankfully Pivoting To PvE Before Launch

Zeverland, the upcoming open-world zombie sim for PC, plays a lot like DayZ, but the team at Quantum Quirks has announced a major shift in the game's design following a closed alpha test. According to the studio, players wanted the PvPvE game to be an entirely cooperative PvE experience instead, so much so that the team is meeting the community's requests and turning Zeverland into exactly that. "You talked. We listened," the studio said on the Zeverland Steam page. "We've decided to shift Z
