Work is bad enough without armed mercenaries storming into your place of business. That's what happens to the chefs in Mayhem A La Carte, an upcoming first-person shooter from InGame Studios and 505 Games. Players will team up as up to four combat chefs and blast away at invaders while also preparing meals? It sounds just crazy enough to work! We'll find out when Mayhem A La Carte arrives on Steam Early Access in 2027.
Abyssus is a "brinepunk FPS" (whatever that means) from DoubleMoose Games, The Arcade Crew, and Dotemu. After arriving on Steam last year, it has received a handful of major updates. The latest update, version 1.3, does not seem to be popular with Steam players. On the plus side, Abyssus also just launched on Xbox Series and PlayStation 5, and those players probably won't be attached to a previous update. There is 4-player online co-op with crossplay and plenty of brine in store for them!
When PAYDAY 3 arrived with a thud last fall, it paved the way for other games to take the “cooperative heist game” crown. Surprisingly, the one to take that crown actually came out before PAYDAY 3, and it came from the same publisher, 505 Games. That’s right, Crime Boss: Rockay City first launched on Epic and then consoles early i...
A long time ago, Starship Troopers was a book by the great Robert Heinlein. Then it was a movie directed by the talented Paul Verhoeven. Lately, it has taken the form of Starship Troopers: Extermination, a large-scale co-op shooter from Offworld on Steam Early Access. Soon, Extermination will fully launch, not only on Steam but also on Xbox Se...
Although roguelikes have become quite popular in recent years, you don't see many first-person shooter roguelikes (other than Gunfire Reborn). The genre will soon have a new entry, though, in the form of Roboquest from RyseUp Studios and Starbreeze Publishing. After a period of Steam Early Access, Roboquest will fully launch on Xbox, Steam, and Epic in early November.
The Alloy FPS RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard (whew, that’s a mouthful!) is the fifth keyboard from HyperX, all of which are in the Alloy line. All of the Alloy keyboards have a similar feel and look, but each variation has something to set it apart from the others.
The HyperX Pulsefire FPS Pro is the third gaming mouse the company has manufactured and, thus far, my favorite of the three. If you read my reviews on the previous two (the Pulsefire FPS and the Pulsefire Surge), you might remember how I wished I could smash the two together to create my ideal mouse. The Pulsefire FPS Pro makes those dreams a reality.
Last fall, HyperX joined the mechanical keyboard market with the debut of their Alloy FPS Mechanical Gaming Keyboard. After an overwhelmingly positive response from gamers and reviewers (you can check out our review here), this summer saw two new versions of the Alloy being announced and released: the Alloy Elite and the Alloy FPS Pro.
The HyperX Pulsefire FPS Mouse delivers on its promise for a smooth, responsive, and comfortable gaming experience. Although some improvements could be made to put its plug-and-play functionality more on par with customization software-driven mice, the Pulsefire is still able to stand out in the flooded market of gaming mice with its strong design for a reasonable price.
HyperX launched two new peripherals in the past month: the Cloud Stinger headset and Alloy FPS Mechanical Gaming keyboard. After using them for a couple of weeks now, I definitely find them worthy of consideration for a mid-budget gamer.
Bandai Namco confirmed via Twitter last week that Dark Souls 3 will run at 60 FPS on the PC. This is a step up for the franchise as previous PC ports that have supported a higher frame rate often had some weird bugs to go along with it, like weapons degrading at twice the normal rate.
Overkill's shooter sequel to PAYDAY: The Heist has officially broken its cover to the pubic! We have a little video preview describing PAYDAY 2 details since the developer’s move from Sony to 505/Starbreeze Studios.
