Undead Labs has finally confirmed that a State of Decay 3 playtest is on the way, and I’m starting to feel the buzz again. First unveiled way back in 2020, it’s been nearly two years since we heard anything of note on the long-anticipated zombie game. After all that time, the developer has finally emerged with good news: the promise of an upcoming technical alpha. The tests will start the process of getting the game into our hands and massaging it into the best form possible for its full release. State of Decay 3 is a game we’ve been waiting…

There are plenty of puzzles in Resident Evil 2: Remake that might stop you in your tracks, and I know the Drug Testing Lab’s Dispersal Cartridge puzzle did it for me.After unlocking the equipment in the Drug Testing Lab via the Greenhouse Control Room code found on the bottom of the DNA Helix Trophy, you must complete a puzzle where you have to fill a tube with only the correct amount of liquid for the Dispersal Cartridge. The correct amount is marked with a red ring on the left-most tube, and you’ll have to swap liquids between the tubes in…

A movie pulling in a perfect, 100% Rotten Tomatoes score is a rare thing these days. As rare, you might say, as finding a mythical sea creature bobbing off a Floridian marina – and yet, with Mermaid, Fallout star Johnny Pemberton manages to do both.Written and directed by Tyler Cornack, the surreal horror-comedy is reminiscent of a slice-of-life Sean Baker flick, as it drops us into the world of Doug Nelson, a drug-addled dude who works at a neon-lit bar that’s essentially a strip club meets Seaworld. He knows all there is to know about salt-water fish. Humans? Well, they’re…

The next Battlefield 6 update will unlock a new era for its Portal creation tools, giving you the ability to trigger interactions with far more precision than was previously possible. The Portal Gadget is set to arrive alongside the Hunter/Prey update, the third and final phase of BF6 Season 2, which launches in just a couple of weeks. Also included are overhauls to the core multiplayer progression system and team communication features. While Battlefield 6 can sometimes feel a little by-the-numbers in comparison to more modern, distinctive multiplayer games like Arc Raiders or Rainbow Six Siege’s new Metal Gear-themed season,…

Resident Evil 2 Remake is filled with puzzles that’ll give you pause, and one of the trickiest has to be the Chess Plug puzzle you’ll find in the Monitor Room.This puzzle can be frustrating at the best of times, but the 2nd run (Leon and Claire B) version is even more baffling. You’ll have to traverse the sewers in order to locate all of the Electronic Chess Plugs, and examining each one will reveal its name, making them easier to place.Once you’ve gathered all six Electronic Chess Plugs (Knight, Pawn, King, Queen, Bishop, Rook) and have returned to the Monitor…

The Boys season 5 is almost upon us… and everyone wants Homelander dead. Who could blame them? The most evil Supe in all the world now has more power than the President of the United States, and God only knows what he plans to do next.Because Homelander dies in The Boys comics, it only makes sense for him to die in the series finale, ending with an epic showdown of sorts. Because of this, fans have been theorizing about who they believe will ultimately take him down (and apparently, we were wrong about Marie Moreau).Scroll on down for a list…

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Season 3 has begun, and with it comes the opportunity to try out its most inventive game mode, Endgame, even if you don’t own a copy of Treyarch and Activision’s latest. BO7 is a vast and unwieldy beast, with Jamie scoring it a 7/10, noting its balance between strong multiplayer and zombies offerings, and a disappointing campaign. The PvE Endgame mode is a highlight, however: it doesn’t knock things completely out of the park, but it’s certainly one of the most creative additions to the FPS game in years, and now you can play…
