• Don’t Expect The Chaos Caused By GTA 6’s Release Date To End This November

  With preorders opening and pricing details finally released, Grand Theft Auto VI’s November 19 release date seems like a lock at this point.

September and October are absolutely packed with high-profile game launches from top to bottom, and even the early 2027 release calendar is starting to get crowded with the likes of Fable and Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis.

• GTA 6 “Features A Single-Player Experience,” At Least At Launch

• You Aren’t Prepared For How Scary Phasmophobia 1.0 Is Meant To Be

  24-06-2026 16:00 via gamespot.com
  
  I grew up on the horror genre from way too young an age. I was so young when I started watching things like Halloween and A Nightmare on Elm Street that you'd probably be mad at my parents for allowing it if I told you how young I was. Don't worry; I think I turned out okay, but one consequence of that upbringing is that it's really hard to scare me anymore. I love horror games, but I play them for their mood, atmosphere, and stories--not to be scared. I just don't expect it to happen anymore. B

  There's a reason Nintendo keeps remaking Star Fox 64. The N64 iteration of the rail shooter--at the time, the second Star Fox release--remains the apex of the franchise: a genuinely fantastic game that still holds up and stands the test of time. Subsequent sequels that have attempted to recapture the magic have floundered by comparison. This latest iteration, simply titled "Star Fox" for what I can only assume is meant to be a soft reboot, plays just as great as you remember and looks even bette

  I've tested a lot of Razer gear over the years, so any time there's a sale I tend to rummage through it like a raccoon.
