Released in 2007, The Darkness is a first-person shooter game based on the popular comic book series from Top Cow Productions. The game is already a solid FPS, but the story is greatly enhanced by its source material, creating a rich and engaging experience throughout. Its unique gameplay, which blends demonic powers into the action, is exceptionally well-executed, and the game was so well-received that a sequel was released in 2012. While praised for its storytelling, it didn’t achieve massive sales on the Xbox 360.

Okay, so I just heard about this new game called Ascenders: Beyond the Peak, and it seriously looks cool! I thought I’d seen everything when it came to climbing games, but this one’s different. It’s a roguelite, which means every run is different, but it’s turn-based, so you really have to think about your moves as you climb. It’s all about making tough choices to stay alive. It’s coming to Steam Early Access in 2026, and honestly, I’m already hyped – it feels like a fresh take on the whole climbing genre!

The first trailer for Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game revealed the base game will cost $29.99. A Deluxe Edition is available for $49.99 and includes the full game, a digital artbook, the complete soundtrack, and a Year 1 pass for extra downloadable characters. Following successful playtests around the world, this affordable price point should make the game accessible to a wide range of players.

As a Star Wars fan, I’ve got some great news! Darth Maul isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. Lucasfilm just announced that Maul – Shadow Lord has been picked up for a second season! Right now, that’s all we know – Season 2 is officially happening, but details are still under wraps. Still, it’s fantastic to see Maul continuing to be a major player in the Star Wars universe.

This update improved how the game runs on PS5 when played from a PS4 disc. It unlocked the frame rate and increased the resolution, making the game look and play much better.

Escalation mode has ten difficulty levels, each changing the enemies and challenges you’ll face. It’s tougher than normal, with no mid-mission saves and a time limit. To try the harder levels, you’ll need Escalation Tokens, which you can earn by replaying missions. Be careful though – if you fail a mission, any tokens you used are lost permanently.
