Win a copy of Spec Ops: The Line on any system!

By Ryan Fleming Published April 24, 2023

Recently, 2K Games and Yager Entertainment released a third person military shooter with a twist that goes by the name Spec Ops: The Line. The mechanics were similar to many other third person shooters, but the story was something that had to be experienced to be fully appreciated. The plot was dark and disturbing, and featured a narrative that was closer to Apocalypse Now than most shooters. It was a psychological journey down the dark recesses of—actually, you know what? Just read our review for more details on the game and why we thought it was the bee’s knees. But even then, don’t take our word for it. Why not win a copy and find out for yourselves?

Is Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 cross-platform?

warhammer 40000 space marine 2 how long to beat campaign

When the Emperor calls on you to face down the endless onslaught of Tyranid forces, he doesn't expect you to go alone. Sure, you are a nearly unkillable Space Marine, but even you will need backup on this mission in Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2. The campaign isn't all that long, though it's more than bloody enough to be satisfying. And replaying missions with friends or jumping into the Operations mode keeps the violence coming. If you fancy yourself a particularly deadly marine, you can even go into PvP.

Clearly, this game was not meant to be played alone, especially not if you want all the Trophies and Achievements — but does it make the list of all cross-platform games?

Bioshock 4: everything we know so far

When Bioshock came out in 2007, it blew expectations out of the water. Not only did it introduce us to the memorable world of Rapture deep below the sea, but it pulled off one of the most shocking plot twists in gaming history. The sequel stuck to the same setting, but Infinite once again invited us to a brand new dystopia floating in the clouds. Similar to Assassin's Creed, these games have become defined by their settings, which is why we have all been eagerly awaiting the next entry to see what fantastic space we would be exploring. While original creator Ken Levine has moved on to Judas, 2K has had Cloud Chamber Studios working on a new entry since 2019. That's a long time, but we still have a lot of questions that need answering. Would you kindly explore everything we know about Bioshock 4 with us?
Release date speculation

Neither 2K nor Cloud Chamber has committed to a release date for Bioshock 4. The latest unofficial update was spotted on LinkedIn by GamesRadar. Senior cinematic designer Jeff Spoonhower posted the follwoing: "The Bioshock team at 2K Cloud Chamber is ramping up! We have many positions open across a variety of disciplines including art, animation, engineering, design, narrative, and production."

Firaxis wants to make sure you actually finish a Civilization 7 game

A walled city sitting behind a mountain.

Civilization games are easy to get lost in, so much so that I don't think I've ever actually finished one of them. This is apparently a common problem because developer Firaxis Games wanted to address it with Civilization 7.

In an interview with Game Developer, creative director Ed Beach said that less than 50% of players completed a game of Civilization 6 due to its drawn-out pacing, something that many absolutely "hated." Tasks took longer and longer to complete as you went, and as the game became more complicated, players became overloaded with things to do to expand their empires. So Firaxis made some changes.
