Survival game fans are an eternally hopeful lot. We're always on the lookout for the next great open world sandbox offering up a new survival experience. Your game has base-building? Crafting? Exploring? Survival systems? You've already got our attention.But we're a wary group, too. We've been burned far too many times in the past.That explains the mostly skeptical reaction to the new trailer for CrisisX you can see above (via...

What have they done to my beautiful boy? Rush, one of the greatest modes of Battlefields past, is a total bust in the Battlefield 6 beta. Its debut is going down so poorly with fans that Battlefield Studios should seriously consider going back to the drawing board.For a sect of Battlefield faithfuls who hopped aboard in the Bad Company era, Rush was it, man: Two M-COM sites, ~75 attacker tickets,...

As part of a four-day hero trial, Overwatch 2's latest hero, Wuyang, is available for testing ahead of his full debut in Season 18. After learning about his (totally not magical) ability to harness water like he's straight out of Avatar: The Last Airbender, I jumped right in and put him to the test.Given the comparatively small tank and support roster, it's always a good day when we see something...

I'm pleased, nay, delighted to inform you that the first-ever World Humanoid Robot Games have begun in Beijing, and the first day's highlight reel is a thing to behold.While some of the robots appear to have put on an impressive performance in traditional sporting events like the 100 metre sprint, it's not been entirely smooth sailing for many competitors—which makes it a fabulously entertaining watch for us technology rubberneckers.From robots...
