PCGamesN Monday, December 30, 2024 7:31 AM  There's no shortage of WW2 war games, but Foxhole really is something special. This massive sandbox MMO features persistent online wars that can last days to weeks, and it's not just about the frontlines, either. You can also adopt the crucial role of manufacturing munitions and vehicles for other players. And now Foxhole is 33% off on Steam, there's no better time to do your duty. |
PCGamesN Monday, December 30, 2024 7:00 AM  There's always something satisfying about teaming up with others to achieve a common goal. That said, I don't have many friends who play the same things I do, finding a squad to team up with is tough, and too many games aren't optimized for solo-queue co-op. Payday 3 is an example of this, with matches often falling into chaos as newcomers join lobbies midway through while others argue over what the plan should be. A new Payday rival, however, could be the answer. PCGamesN recently chatted with the ex-Starbreeze devs at 10 Chambers, who are currently working on the upcoming heist game Den of Wolves.

PCGamesN Monday, December 30, 2024 4:00 AM  It's easy to reduce Sorry We're Closed to a checklist of Silent Hill 2-isms. Fixed camera angles? Check. Psychosexual monster design? Check. Filthy, rust-eaten environments? Check. However, like the celestial beings that make up its cast, this familiar visage is only skin-deep. Whereas others seek to replicate the formula to pay homage or to recreate it for modern audiences, indie studio À La Mode is incomparably brave. This scion stands before the sacred cow that birthed it and dares to continue the conversation that Silent Hill 2 began two decades ago.

So here's my selection box, my bonus games of the year for 2024. It's an unusually diverse triad this time. |

Missed the streak? You are simply wrong. Time has no bearing here. Here is the column. I've been reading Mark Forsyth's books on words and this very good New Yorker column about Kanye West smashing up an architectural masterpiece. |
