Friday the 13th is one of those film franchises that serves a perfect case study for creative evolution and saturation of the genre. It also makes for an awesome late-night movie marathon whose final entries leave you smiling instead of grimacing. The game version is also pretty fun, where eight players have to either fight or take flight in order …

Dreams may just be the biggest and most under the radar game that Sony has in the kitchen. Developer Media Molecules is working on what could be the most ambitious game of the PlayStation 4 era, and yet, hardly anyone even knows what it is. So…what is Dreams? On a basic level, it’s a suite of creative tools, designed in a way that gives you full access to an actual game engine’s worth of options.

I may be imagining this, but couch co-op seems to be on the rise again. While it’s definitely still sitting in the hospital recovering from the devastating wound online multiplayer inflicted upon it, it seems to be trying to open its eyes again and asking for a glass of water from the nurse who’s just so happy to see it coming to.

Last week even saw THQ Nordic hit another milestone: A marketing blunder. It all started when the publisher decided to host an “Ask Me Anything” session, an interactive Q&A usually seen on social platforms such as reddit. Only problem? THQ Nordic decided to host their AMA on…8Chan.

With Resident Evil 2 being out on PC, some fans have decided to have some fun with Mr X and crank out a few mods for whenever the character appears, such as the recently released Mr DMX mod that is definitely gonna give it to ya.

Last month, despite making record revenue, Activision-Blizzard laid off 8 per cent of its global workforce, leaving nearly eight hundred people out of work. The large-scale restructuring is an attempt to appease shareholders by cutting expenses.
