Few video games capture the essence of their inspiration quite like Alien: Isolation. Creative Assembly’s 2014 survival horror looks as if it were made by the set designers of Ridley Scott’s movie themselves, such is the incredible attention to detail. But it’s the groundbreaking use of the xenomorph that makes Alien: Isolation such a triumph; this perfect organism is an engine for fear.
The game’s fifth mission, The Quarantine, marks the first moment in which the xenomorph actively hunts you through Sevastopol Station. Armed with little more than the iconic motion tracker, you must evade and escape cinema’s most terrifying predator. This is where Creative Assembly truly brought the Alien fantasy to life. But recreating the terror...
Do you feel a disturbance in the Force? That would be the imminent approach of a review embargo lift for Star Wars Jedi Survivor. I wish I could say more about my experiences with it, but EA would Force Grip me to death in about six seconds flat. All I can really do is point you in the direction of the cheapest preorder prices I've seen for it so far. You'll need to pay for these with galactic credits because mind tricks won't work. I tried.

Microsoft is gearing up to potentially overcome a significant hurdle in its acquisition of Activision Blizzard: the UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA).
The regulator, which works to reduce anti-competitive practices in the UK, had previously launched an investigation into the $69 billion deal, and released its provisional findings back in February. At the time, the CMA was concerned about a number of aspects of the deal including potential monopolization of the cloud gaming market, possible Xbox exclusivity of Call of Duty, and reduction of competition with PlayStation.
However, last month, the CMA released a statement saying one of its key concerns had been addressed, determining that if Xbox made Call of Duty exclusive...
Asus has revealed the release date for the Rog Ally, its upcoming competitor for the Steam Deck, and it'll be out soon. In a press release, Asus confirmed that the Rog Ally will be out May 11.
Initially revealed in what appeared to be an April Fool's joke, the Rog Ally was subsequently confirmed to be real. Its main advantage of Valve's handheld is its 7-inch screen, which supports resolution of up with 1080p at 120hz. Its fan is also significantly quieter than the Steam Deck, running some 17 decibels lower than its competitor.
In its release, Asus touts the Rog Ally's ability to run Windows 11, a significant issue for the Steam Deck, which it calls a "seamless experience" through either the platform's joysticks or touchscreen. A...
Despite its origins as a 1982 film about a video game-inspired world inside a computer, Disney’s Tron franchise doesn’t have the best track record when it comes to game adaptations in the post-arcade era. Bithell Games, the studio behind minimalist indie darlings like Thomas Was Alone and Volume, aims to change that with the release of its first collaboration with the house of mouse, Tron: Identity. Part visual novel, part hard-boiled detective story, Tron: Identity is a gorgeous new take on life on the Grid — even if its plot raises more questions than it answers.For the uninitiated, Tron: Identity takes place in the Grid, a self-sustaining world inside of computers, where human-like “programs” fulfill their functions and serve the...
Diablo 4 associate game director Joseph Piepiora has revealed that it will take over 150 hours to grind to level 100 in the upcoming action role playing game.
“Reaching level 100 will take 150+ hours for the average player experience,” replied Piepiora to a fan on Twitter, confirming the inevitable and significant time sink that Diablo 4 will represent when it launches on June 6 later this year.
Earlier this month the developer also revealed that it would take around 80 hours to complete each season’s battle pass, which will feature both a free, and paid premium track featuring more cosmetic rewards.
This isn’t the first time that a brief social media reply has imparted significant information about Diablo 4. Recently, the game’s...
So far, Arkane Studios' game playgrounds have been set in fantastical, odd futures or deteriorating steampunk cities. With Redfall, the team at Arkane Austin opted to take its immersive sim mechanics to something closer to a familiar but twisted reality. In an interview with Arkane Austin Art Director Karen Segars, IGN learned more about the inspirations for Redfall's scenic island town setting, design challenges and solutions for the co-op mechanics, and telling Redfall's story through its art.
Segars said their journey in designing Redfall began with a trip to New England that started in Bangor, Maine, and concluded a few days later in Boston, Massachusetts. It was October, making it the perfect time to collect close-ups of fall...
The highly anticipated Star Wars: Jedi Survivor from EA's Respawn Entertainment isn't out for another few days, but heads up, spoilers have already leaked online.
The leaker, who appears to have been sold a copy of the game a few days early, has already completed Jedi: Survivor and took to Twitter to share their impressions, some screenshots, and other details. This was spotted by Angie on ResetEra, though we don't recommend reading the post unless you want to have elements of the game spoiled.
The leak, which includes details about the ending, game length, the number of planets, new characters, and lots, lots more, even grabbed the attention of EA itself, as its Star Wars accounted tweeted: "No Spoilers!"
It continued: "We're...
Hardcore mode has been a time-honored Diablo tradition going back to Diablo II, challenging players with the possibility of permanent death. But what happens if your Hardcore character happens to stumble into one of Diablo IV's Fields of Hatred? Well, watch your back.
Asked whether are consequences for Hardcore characters who die in Diablo IV's PvP, Blizzard community director Adam Fletcher said simply, "Permadeath."
In other words, it's time to roll a new character.
Hardcore players will want to watch their step then, since the Fields of Hatred can be entered at will on Diablo IV's open-world. There players can collect Shards of Hatred by killing other players as well as monsters. The areas also feature special vendors that serve...
Today, Woot is offering the open box Meta Quest 2 256GB VR headset for only $330.56. Note that this is the larger capacity 256GB model. That's a rather significant price drop for what is already one of the least expensive VR headsets on the market. The lower capacity 128GB model normally retails for $399.99 new and the 256GB model for $499.99 new.
Woot's fine print:
"The units in this sale are being sold as open box condition. That means that they have been opened due to being a photo sample, a tested good customer return or having damaged packaging. Some non-essential items may be missing from the box. The unit may not be shipped in retail packaging. That is the reason for the reduced sale price and the reduced warranty."

The US Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled in favor of Apple's App Store policies, saying that it doesn't violate federal antitrust law. The ruling confirms an earlier decision in an antitrust case brought by Epic Games, Bloomberg reports.
The latest decision is another blow to Epic in its ongoing dispute with Apple over the 30 percent cut it takes in in-app purchases. The dispute resulted in Fortnite being removed from the App Store — a deliberate PR play intended to weaponize the battle royale's vast fanbase.
The case has been wending its way through the courts ever since, with the latest decision in favor of Apple. However, the court also upheld a 2021 ruling that the App Store violate California's unfair competition law...
Deep Silver and Dambuster Studios announced that Dead Island 2 has sold over 1 million copies within the first three days of release.
“Dead Island 2 has won fans from around the world with countless players snapping up a copy of the drop dead gore-geous game in the first 72 hours,” Deep Silver said in a press release.
Furthermore, in-game stats were revealed detailing how many players did certain actions. Thus far, players have slayed 1.1 billion zombies, hacked off 756 million zombie limbs, and sliced 45 million zombies in half. Additionally, players spent a combined total of 11 million hours with the game and collectively died 28 million times so far.
The latter number is also over twice the population of the game’s setting, Los...
A supermajority of workers at Sega of America have announced today that they have formed a union under the Communications Workers of America, and are asking for voluntary recognition from company management.
The group, which is based out of Irvine, California, consists of 144 workers in departments such as brand marketing, games as a service, localization, marketing services, QA, product development, ops, and more. Referring to themselves as "AEGIS-CWA," they have filed for a union election with the National Labor Relations Board, which will take place unless Sega of America management chooses to voluntarily recognize the union first.
AEGIS has stated the following goals in its mission statement:

Alone, Redfall is creepy. The town is littered with stories of people who were attacked by or turned into vampires when the vampire gods took over the once-charming island town. Wandering through dark houses and caves with only a flashlight to guide the way heightens tension, even when armed. Developer Arkane Austin knows how to craft a menacing atmosphere. However, adding other players to Redfall noticeably changed the odds. Together we made quick work of basic vampires, their cult followers, and the mercenary group intent on taking us down. Instead of quiet mutters in the dark, there was camaraderie. And what was once a potentially chilling challenge through an infested city became a hunting party ready to take on the biggest baddies...
Ubisoft has said that it is unlikely The Division 2 will see native PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions as that would mean leaving behind players who are playing on the last generation of consoles.
Speaking to MP1st, creative director Yannick Banchereau explained why Ubisoft hadn’t released a new version of the game on current generation consoles.
“That’s unlikely because if we really wanted to take full advantage of those, since we only have one version of the game that is available on all platforms, taking full advantage of those would mean that the game would no longer be available on the old generations,” he said.
Beanchereau continued: “We still have a lot of players that play on all generations and we are not ready to...
Call of Duty: The Board Game, a tabletop adaptation of Activision's seminal shooter series, has been announced with a 2024 release window. A Kickstarter campaign for the strategy game will launch this fall.
As reported by Variety, the Call of Duty tabletop game comes from Arcane Wonders, the company behind Sheriff of Nottingham and Onitama. It's set within the rebooted Modern Warfare timeline and will feature maps and weapons from the games.
Designer Bryan Pope also told Polygon: "[Players] simultaneously plan out [their] moves secretly and then resolve those at the same time out on the map. Line of sight is easily determined by colored lines on the map, and when you do have eyes on your opponent, combat happens. It’s all about...
For the past week our crew at IGN has been blasting and slashing our way through Respawn and EA's much-anticipated action-RPG sequel. Today we can finally share that on Wednesday, April 26 at 8:00am Pacific time, you'll be able to read and watch our review of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.

That's about all I can say about it for now, but we'll see you back here on Wednesday for the full review. In the meantime, we've got plenty of info to whet your appetite, from raw gameplay to in-depth breakdowns of the new lightsaber fighting stances, and much...

Free-to-play games have risen in prominence in recent years, flooding the market with titles that you can sink dozens if not hundreds of hours into without spending a thing. With so many games and so much variety, it can be daunting to sift through the catalogue and pick one to play.

Japanese role-playing games are more available and accessible than ever before. However, there are very few traditional games that allow multiple people to party up and play through its story together. Square Enix’s Mana franchise and Bandai Namco’s Tales of series are probably the best known for this in the past. Among some other one off titles, Trinity Trigger aims to add to that short list. While there seems to be a lack of depth in combat and how interesting the world is remains to be seen, Trinity Trigger’s first impression shows potential.
A young man named Cyan stars in Trinity Trigger as the Warrior of Chaos, and along with friends Elise and Zantis in tow they are traveling the world of Trinitia to find the Weapons of the Gods...
I didn’t know I needed a cosmic horror-fueled fishing game in my life – at least, not until I played Dredge. It’s not exactly a full-blown management sim ala Fishing Planet, but this 12-hour expedition through haunted open waters is both mysterious and compelling enough to tickle my brain and tug on all the right heartstrings. I felt possessed into flinging myself overboard with an unhinged smile cast across my lips, like one of its many macabre characters. …Figuratively speaking. Starting small and slow is a challenge, but upgrading my fishing boat led Dredge to spout forth a flurry of meaningful improvements to my fishing speed, inventory capacity, and my ability to scope out and evade the plethora of dangers that might rear their...
It’s AI Week at IGN, and we’ve spent the last few days looking at everything from if AI will spell doom for animation, why ChatGPT is everywhere, and even how AI can change games forever. To end the festivities, we thought it’d be fun to look back at some of the best examples of AI in movies, TV, and games and have you decide which character is the best.
From HAL 9000 to Cortana to GLaDOS to Skynet, there have been a ton of examples of AI that can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the best we organics have to offer. Now, we understand the line between AI and robots can be a thin one, but we think some of our more advanced robotic and android friends are just as alive as we are and deserve some love in this Face-Off.

A UK insurance company is now offering a Dead Island 2 life insurance policy that will pay for bereaved friends to travel to Los Angeles for a zombie-themed wake.
As reported by VGC, the Dead Happy life insurance company, which offers a variety of different life insurance packages (with some quirkier than others), is offering the Dead Island 2 package for £8,000.
"Send your mates to the real LA for a zombie cocktail fuelled party before it goes to hell," reads the insurance description. "A wake to end all wakes, in your honour."
The package covers funeral expenses as well as the booze-fuelled trip, insisting that "we should all die responsibly". Dead Happy makes clear, however, that it can't force someone's friends to travel to LA...
