Prepare yourselves for the coming of Halo 4

Halo 4 roundupIt’s been over five years since we’ve had the pleasure of murdering anything as Master Chief. Following the conclusion of what we’ll have to soon start calling the original trilogy, or perhaps the conclusion of the Covenant War if you include Halo: Reach and ODST in the discussion, Master Chief finally returns.

As you probably know by now, Master Chief was left floating in space, heading into a cryogenic tube at the end of Halo 3, while most of the universe thought he was dead. If you didn’t know that, sorry. Spoilers. But the story continues where the final clip of Master Chief left off, with the remains of the UNSC ship Forward Unto Dawn orbiting a mysterious planet.

Borderlands 4: everything we know so far

If it weren't for the original Borderlands, the looter-shooter genre wouldn't exist as we know it today. This hybrid RPG/first-person shooter from Gearbox not only introduced us to the wild and wacky world of Pandora and Vault Hunters, but also to the addictive loop of grinding for endless amounts of guns. The sequel was even better, perhaps one of the best video games of all time for some, but the third was a mixed bag. It managed to keep people playing thanks to plenty of DLC and being a great cross-platform game for co-op, but we've all been waiting for a fresh adventure on Pandora.

Borderlands 4 would be the next logical place to go, and that's what all the rumors and hints are suggesting. Whether the idea of reuniting with Claptrap fills you with joy or dread, here's everything we know about Borderlands 4 so far.

Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster is more like Dead Space’s remake than Resident Evil 4’s
Frank talks to Jessica in Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster.

Don't let Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster's name fool you; this is essentially a full-on remake of Capcom's classic zombie game. While the narrative and core gameplay loop are the same, Dead Rising has seen a complete visual overhaul, as well as a few gameplay tweaks to make it more enjoyable to play. It's the same great game you remember, but it now just feels like something that could be released in 2024 rather than 2006. After going hands-on with Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster, it's clear that this game is less like the remake treatment Capcom gave Resident Evil 4 last year and more like the one EA gave Dead Space. It's an extremely faithful modern upgrade for a horror classic that still holds up today.
