Estate Agent Simulator - the game that promised me a ticket to the big leagues of virtual real estate. The pitch? Simple: buy low, sell high, and play house with properties. Sounds like a blend of House Flipper, The Sims, and maybe a sprinkle of Monopoly madness, right? Wrong. What I got was a role-playing game that's less "Wolf of Wall Street" and more "Sheep in the Suburbs"​​.

GameMaker's shaking up the game development scene with a bold move. Kicking the subscription model to the curb, GameMaker's now free for non-commercial use on all non-console platforms.

Warhammer fanatics, brace yourselves for a bit of a bummer. Focus Entertainment has just hit us with a delay on "Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2," pushing it to the latter half of 2024. The exact launch date is under wraps like a classified Inquisition file, but we're eyeing early December for the big reveal, probably at The Game Awards on December 7.

Well, damn. In the cutthroat world of gaming, not even the big dogs are safe. Embracer Group, that Swedish gaming giant, just dropped a bombshell that's rocked the industry like a level-10 earthquake. We're talking studio shutdowns and a gut-wrenching layoff spree that's sent 900 devs packing. CEO Lars Wingefors is talking stabilization, but for many, it's more like devastation.

Hold onto your makeshift shivs, 'cause "The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered" is sneaking up on us like a Clicker in the dark (By insidegaming). January 19, 2024, marks the day we dive back into the fungus-infested world, but this time with more oomph than ever before on the PS5!

The gaming world is abuzz with the latest developments around "Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn," an action RPG that first captured attention in 2021 when Xbox showcased it as a day-one Game Pass title. Fast forward to now, and it's surfaced on pre-order listings, sparking speculations of an imminent release date announcement.

Strap in for a wild ride with "Lethal Company" - a game that’s like throwing a party on a haunted moon and forgetting to invite sanity. Released in Early Access this past October, this baby has been stirring up a storm on Steam, sitting pretty among the top 10 best-sellers​​. And guess what? It's priced at a steal - just $9.99! Talk about a horror experience that won’t have you selling your kidneys on the black market​​.

Welcome aboard the Tiqqun, spacefarers! Ixion isn't your typical space jaunt; it's like Elon Musk's fever dream on steroids. This isn't just a spaceship; it's a floating ark of human salvation, a last-ditch effort to find humanity a new crib because we royally screwed up Earth. Picture this: a space station complete with insect burgers (yum!) and a mega engine called the VOHLE drive. Everything's fine until you hit the ignition and, well, let's just say things go south pretty quickly​​.
