While it's always frustrating when a promising game releases in a less-than-ideal state, I do enjoy seeing one go through a solid redemption arc. Payday 3 is definitely one of those games. It's been steadily honing the co-op FPS into an experience that better captures the magic of its still-popular predecessor, and now that it's pushed live its massive anniversary update full of essential new features and improvements, it's finally starting to look like the experience it should've been from the get-go.

2023 was a heck of a year for games - we had Baldur's Gate 3, Alan Wake 2, Starfield, and plenty more. One of the best and most intriguing titles released that year was Ghostrunner 2, a speed-filled slaughterfest in a cyberpunk, neon-drenched city. To celebrate the anniversary of its launch, developer One More Level has released what is set to be the game's final DLC, along with a few freebies for anyone who owns the game.

Deadpool & Wolverine proved that even if the MCU fatigue is real, comic book blockbusters can still be wildly successful if they involve the X-Men, two giant Hollywood stars, tons of jokes, a massive marketing budget, and little to no other meaningful competition in theaters at release. The biggest R-rated movie…

Image: Activision Comcast is boasting about what it’s calling its “biggest week in internet history,” which it pegs on Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 downloads and Thursday Night Football streams. The company says the Call of Duty game, which it released on October 25th, was responsible for a whopping 19 percent of its overall traffic last week.

It’s not really possible to quantify that further, given Comcast didn’t provide any specific numbers — either about how many customers were downloading the game or how big their downloads were. Ranging between 84.4GB for the PlayStation version and 102GB for the PC edition Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is, in the grand tradition of Call of Duty games, a hefty download. It can be as much as 300GB if players choose to go...

The famous rapper Ice T has recently praised Call of Duty: Black Ops 6s campaign. After a lackluster campaign in the recent Modern Warfare 3, most Call of Duty fans were not likely expecting a lot for the single-player mode of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, but it seems that Activision and Treyarch Studios have outdone themselves with the new entry in the franchise.

Everyone has seen a very suspicous killcam while playing Call of Duty and been left to wonder “is that guy amazing at the game, or cheating?”

Unfortunately, hacking is a big part of the online multiplayer ecosystem in 2024. Cheat developers are constantly trying to make new hacks that can get past anti-cheat systems so that they can sell them and make a quick buck, all while being in danger of being sued into oblivion by companies like Activision if they’re making hacks for games like Black Ops 6.

The Daft Punk anime Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem is coming to movie theaters on December 12, for one night only. It’ll be screened in over 800 cinemas in more than 40 countries throughout the globe. Tickets go on sale November 13, so bookmark this page to make sure you snag one before they sell out.
For the uninitiated, the film was first released back in 2003 and was a joint collaboration between Daft Punk and manga legend Leiji Matsumoto, who passed away last year. The anime acts as a visual companion piece to Daft Punk’s album Discovery. There’s no dialogue and minimal sound effects. It’s all about the music.
There is a plot, but it’s more a loose amalgamation of sci-fi ideas that act as a springboard to play Daft Punk songs. For instance, the band’s iconic "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger” begins when the lead character gets a hold of some high-tech sunglasses. It is, however, a visually stunning affair.
To that end, this is a 4K remaster of the original. However, there has already been a bit of controversy surrounding this remaster. Distributor Trafalgar allegedly used AI to upscale some of the footage and, well, people don’t seem to be happy with the results. In any event, we don’t have too long to see how it all came together.
Daft Punk To commemorate this limited theatrical release, the band’s releasing a whole bunch of affiliated merch. There’s a physical edition of the film, complete with the original Japanese artwork, stickers and a collectible Daft Club card. Fans can also purchase the soundtrack album in multiple formats, including gold vinyl and numbered CDs.
