• Max Payne 3 was a "failure," says Dan Houser, because despite writing GTA games, he's no Sam Lake

  13-10-2026 18:38 via gamesradar.com
  
  Whatever you may think of it on its own merits, it's safe to say Max Payne 3 didn't quite live up to the previous two. Being developed by Rockstar instead of Remedy Entertainment, the threequel wound up having a different vibe to the neo-noir stylishness of its predecessors, and looking back on it, lead writer Dan Houser admits the team didn't nail the tone."It was a linear game, so it was a little different from writing an open-world game, a little more structured.

As shared by Ocarina of Time speedrunner ZFG on Twitter, the "really cool new glitch" involves using a bottled item right as a hitbox is disappearing in order to "overwrite damage values," allowing you to beat certain bosses without the items usually required for them.

• Crystal Lake review: "Meandering and mostly scare-free Friday the 13th prequel"

  13-10-2026 17:30 via gamesradar.com
  
  The thing about the Friday the 13th movies are they're not very good. Nightmare on Elm Street has innovative effects, Halloween pivots off the expert tension of director John Carpenter. But the first entry in the Friday the 13th franchise is mostly inert. It isn’t until later entries that it amps up the thrills and chills, realizing that the hockey-masked Jason is a ridiculous immortal slasher/wrestler in a funny way, rather than a scary way. So, if you’re a high-end studio like A24,

The first set of official PC accessories (that was available to its US and UK customer base) left much to be desired, especially when it came to the Pokemon Edition BlackWidow V4 X, which combined black keys with a predominantly yellow board that felt less reminiscent of the electric-type icon Pikachu and more of a shockingly ugly eyesore. Yet the Ornata V3 Tenkeyless part of this new Razer Pikachu and Eevee Collection is leagues above what ca

  If there's one department that Final Fantasy 14 fans are lacking in, it's reading, apparently – particularly the MMO's own settings.It's a tale as old as time: players want certain options, and Square Enix either delivers them or doesn't… or, you know, already has, but folks don't check the settings to make sure what they want is or isn't already implemented in the game before asking for it.
