Once you’ve finally graduated from your last class, not having to worry about school is a pretty great feeling. You don’t need to study for tests, you don’t need to wake up at the crack of dawn to catch a bus, and best of all, you don’t need to stress out over grades. There are other places where your performance may be reviewed, such as the workplace or the boudoir, but for the most part you can live your life free of worry from needing to achieve a letter grade....

Xbox’s head of publishing, Shannon Loftis, believes that single-player games aren’t dead or dying, but asserts that there are many questions surrounding how viable they are from an economic point of view. Loftis said that the costs of development will ‘spook’ developers from making single-player experiences, but she believes that they will continue to exist. In an interview with GameSpot, Loftis spoke about the importance of single-player games, and how the demand for higher quality experiences comes with an ever-increasing price tag for developers....

Does playing video games sound like a dream job to you? Well you should really do your research then, because people who test games for a living often tell horror stories about the experience. Being a QA tester is more about playing the same section over and over again, over long hours for a contract that could go away at any time. Or maybe you want to be an esports pro/Twitch star....

Microsoft unveiled the newest version of its PC operating system last night, declaring Windows 11 to be the Best Windows Ever for Gaming with some specific features tailored for, well, gaming. As per the Xbox Wire, Windows 11 will include the Auto HDR capability previously launched with the Xbox Series consoles that enhances older games using DirectX 11 or higher by adding new lighting effects. In addition, the new Windows will also load games faster thanks to a system called DirectStorage, based on the new Xbox Velocity Architecture on Xbox Series X and S....

Microsoft has officially ended its support of Windows 7 and brought an end to the era of one of the most notable PC gaming operating systems in years. While it will still be possible to run Windows 7 beyond today, the fact that Microsoft will no longer officially release security updates for the platform makes the continued use of the OS a much more complicated prospect. Unless you can take advantage of certain business and education-based extensions that Microsoft is offering (which will still cost you a potentially hefty per unit sum), you’re basically running Windows 7 at your own risk beyond this point....

Wargaming knows a thing or two when it comes to vehicular battles with warships and tanks, what with World of Tanks and all. But now it’s trying its hand in another popular genre — first-person military shooters. The company has announced that it will soon launch a closed beta for its upcoming shooter, Caliber. Signups are set to begin in Europe fairly soon, and the company has already indicated that the U....

Available to anyone with an active subscription, this version of the game resets the game back to its original state back in 2004.

For hardcore WWE video game fans, one of the most-requested features to see return in the WWE 2K games is General Manager mode. The last game to have a true General Manager mode was WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2008, with the feature not really seen in any game since. However, there is a chance that could change, as WWE wrestler Xavier Woods has teased as much on Twitter. New Day member Xavier Woods responded to fans on Twitter that have been asking him about a WWE 2K20 GM Mode....

The Yakuza series has traditionally taken the form of a beat-em-up/RPG hybrid. Mixing elements from JRPGs with more action-focused combat, the games have driven comparisons to Sega’s own Streets of Rage series more than anything. The upcoming installment, Yakuza: Like a Dragon (a.k.a. Ryu Ga Gotoku 7), ditches that style for a turn-based system that has put off many fans. The decision to change gameplay mechanics wasn’t made hastily, though. In a recent interview with 4Gamer, Yakuza creator Toshihiro Nagoshi explained how Like a Dragon ended up switching gears to become an RPG instead of something more expected....

How did Allen know these details? He had been pre-briefed by Ubisoft itself on the contents of its presentation under embargo - which he then promptly ignored and wrote anonymously about on the internet....

Since he entered semi-retirement, the Undertaker’s two or three matches per year don’t require much storyline. The Deadman returns, wrestles his match, and then goes back to his home in Texas until the next Saudi show or WrestleMania comes around. That’s changing with this year’s WrestleMania 36 Undertaker match, though. AJ Styles cut a bizarre promo on last night’s RAW, outing former WWE women’s wrestler Michelle McCool as Undertaker’s wife. McCool married Undertaker, a....
