A user named Khan Noonien Singh shared an interesting take on the movie Alien. They pointed out that if you look at the story from the alien’s point of view, it’s surprisingly similar to Die Hard. The alien is isolated, everyone is trying to kill it—even a bearded man—and it’s navigating through the ship’s vents. Considering the company is Japanese, it’s almost like a Christmas setting for the creature.
The closed beta for Outward 2 is now open to everyone! Nine Dots announced the change during today’s PC Gaming Showcase, just before the game launches in Early Access on PC.

The classic arcade game, Crazy Taxi: World Tour, is planned for release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC around 2027. Sega hasn’t announced any specific dates or further information yet.
In a statement on Microsoft’s official website, the company said:
The announcement trailer starts strong with The Offspring’s song “All I Want,” but unfortunately, there’s a downside we need to discuss.
The Company of Heroes: Definitive Edition will include all the content from the original Company of Heroes, such as its three story campaigns, four different armies to play as, and over 50 maps for both online multiplayer and solo skirmishes. The game will also have improved gameplay, a more user-friendly interface, and updated graphics with better textures and lighting.
The character struggles to fit into either the human world or the world of beasts, and the game lets players move between them. It brings back many features from the first game, like capturing and combining beasts to create stronger versions.
The trailer focuses less on the story and more on how players will team up to do research on different planets. It also highlights the unpredictable nature of the game, showing how players will have to manage the fallout from their choices and actions during missions.
The campaign will let up to four players team up online, and two players can still play together locally via split-screen. Multiplayer is getting four new modes and maps, sticking with the traditional, balanced Gears style. If you found the original games’ close-quarters combat intense, the new sliding mechanic might make things even faster and more frantic.
