2025 has been an absolute blast for me as a gamer, thanks to Xbox’s subscription service really stepping up its game with Game Pass. They’ve added over 100 titles this year alone! Some of the hype-worthy first-party games I’ve been looking forward to include “Avowed,” “Doom: The Dark Ages,” and a remastered version of “The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion.” But it’s not just about the exclusives; they’ve also got some popular third-party games like “Clair Obscur: Expedition 33,” “Blue Prince,” “Balatro,” “Watch Dogs: Legion,” and “Assassin’s Creed: Mirage” on the list too. It’s been a diverse and exciting year for gaming, that’s for sure!

Originating from the same mind behind X-COM, the upcoming RTS title Chip ‘n Chawz allows players to lead their troops in combat, with control shifting between the young inventor Chip and his mechanized feline companion Chawz. Offering both single-player and cooperative play, this dynamic duo is assigned the mission of thwarting the Brainioids, extraterrestrial intruders who have made off with Earth’s valuable Brainium Crystals. Game Rant recently interviewed some Snapshot Games personnel, including Julian Gollop (game director) and Nikola Petrov (game designer), who shared additional details about the game’s characters, specifically the unusual robot cat Chawz.

Since the reorganization of PS Plus into three tiers in mid-2022, Sony has generally adhered to a consistent schedule for its service. Specifically, free games for the PS Plus Essential tier are released every first Tuesday of the month, whereas the Extra and Premium tier games appear on the third Tuesday.

In a collaboration between Snapshot Games and Arc Games, the game titled “Chip ‘n Clawz vs. The Brainioids” offers an engaging blend of third-person action and real-time strategy (RTS) gameplay. Players are thrust into a narrative where they must fend off an alien invasion by the Brainioids, while leading their own mechanical army. Team members from Snapshot Games, including game director Julian Gollop and game designer Nikola Petrov, recently discussed the game with Game Rant. During the conversation, they provided insights about Chip, the inventor who controls the player’s machine army.

To begin, the updated version of the headset is called the H9 II, succeeding the initial H9 model.

Other highlights include a removable unidirectional microphone operating at 14000kHz super wide band, Bluetooth compatibility, active noise cancellation, and 360-degree spatial sound technology.

In a social media update, Fergusson announced that he’s set to lead Cloud Chamber and supervise the development of the upcoming BioShock game, as well as other franchise expansions such as the currently in production Netflix film.

At the start, Geoff Keighley will be the host for Gamescom Opening Night Live 2025. In advance, they’ve revealed that games like Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, Hollow Knight: Silksong, and Black Myth Wukong are set to make an appearance. However, there are also many exciting surprises in store!

Before Call of Duty gained its current popularity and ruled over the first-person shooter genre, particularly in World War II games, Medal of Honor: Allied Assault stood as the top choice. Released in 2002, this game offered an unmatched cinematic adventure that was revolutionary for PC gaming at the time. The iconic Warchest edition bundles together the original game, along with its expansions Spearhead and Breakthrough, offering a complete and captivating journey through various European and North African battlefields. Although the game is no longer new, it’s worth noting that at its release, Medal of Honor: Allied Assault was an unprecedented PC gaming experience.
