Star Wars Old Republic Online Now FREE!
Star Wars: The Old Republic is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) based in the Star Wars universe. Developed by BioWare Austin and a supplemental team at BioWare Edmonton, the game was first announced on October 21, 2008, at an invitation-only press event. The video game was released for the Microsoft Windows platform on December 20, 2011 in North America and part of Europe. Early access to the game began one week before release, on December 13, 2011, for those who had pre-ordered the game online; access opened in "waves" based on pre-order date.
Although BioWare has not disclosed development costs, industry leaders and financial analysts have estimated it to be between $150 million and $200 million, making it the then most expensive video game.[9][10] The post was later taken over by Grand Theft Auto V, with an estimated cost of $265 million.[11] The game had 1 million subscribers within three days of its launch, making it the world's "fastest-growing MMO ever".[12][13] However, in the following months the game lost a fair share of its subscriptions, but has remained profitable.[14] The game has since adopted the hybrid free-to-play business model with remaining subscription option.

Hideo Kojima Reviews The Resident Evil Movie
Posted on Tuesday October 13, 2026
Writer-director Hideo Kojima has seen Zach Cregger's Resident Evil movie, and he has now shared his review. Kojima, a true cinephile known for his public movie reviews, said he "wasn't particularly interested" in seeing the movie at first, but he did, and he sounded pretty impressed by what he saw.
"Right from the opening, it hits you with music reminiscent of The Thing. From there, it’s a relentless barrage of classic horror techniques, terrifying situations, and jump scares that never lets up until the very end," he said.
Kojima went on to observe what others did as well, which is how the Resident Evil movie is more of a film that provides the "experience of playing Resident Evil" as opposed to watching an adaptation of one of its stories.
"It reminded me of how I felt when I first played the original Resident Evil on PlayStation back in 1996," he said. "I was just like [main character] Bryan in this movie. I kept getting game over after game over, shouting “F***!” over and over again. lol."
This is the kind of response that Cregger said he wanted viewers to have. It's also what got Cregger in some hot water with hardcore fans who wanted to see a straight adaptation of one of the games instead of Cregger's own original story set inside the world of Resident Evil.
Another bright spot for Kojima? While he was at the theater, he picked up some physical reading materials for the divisive new Tom Cruise movie Digger. A lot of people have had a lot of things to say about that film, and we are all waiting to hear what Kojima thought of it, whenever he sees it.
The new Resident Evil has made more than $320 million worldwide, following its big debut in China where it's made $40.7 million so far. Cregger's Resident Evil movie is now the highest-grossing entry in the series to date, surpassing the previous record-holder, which was 2016's The Final Chapter ($312 million).

While Cregger has said he has ideas for another Resident Evil movie, he’s done with franchise movies and is instead making an original movie, The Flood, next.
As for Kojima, he's keeping very busy with the upcoming games OD and Phsyint, both of which are in the works for Xbox. Physint will also be adapted for film and TV, while Kojima's Death Stranding is coming to the big screen as well.
Here Are The Highest-Grossing Resident Evil Movies Ever, And The New One Is Now No. 1
Posted on Thursday October 08, 2026
Zach Cregger's Resident Evil movie got solid reviews and is making a lot of money at the box office, but where does it rank on the list of highest-grossing Resident Evil movies? Following its debut in China, it's now No. 1 overall.
Director Paul W.S. Anderson made six previous Resident Evil movies, starring his wife, Milla Jovovich, and 2016's The Final Chapter previously ranked No. 1 in terms of money at the box office. Anderson's movies did not fare very well with critics, but had dedicated fans who kept going to see them. Together, Anderson's six movies made more than $1 billion.
Cregger's Resident Evil movie now ranks No. 1 with more than $320 million worldwide. It's also Cregger's highest-grossing movie ever, surpassing Weapons ($270 million).
Below you can see a rundown of the highest-grossing live-action Resident Evil movies ever, including domestic, international, and global figures. In addition to Cregger and Anderson, director Johannes Roberts worked on the series for 2021's Welcome to Raccoon City, the lowest-performing Resident Evil live-action movie ever.
The Resident Evil movies are produced by Constantin Films, which bought the rights back in the '90s and has retained them ever since. After Welcome to Raccoon City flopped, Constantin planned to put the film franchise on ice ... until Cregger showed up with a pitch.
While Cregger has said he has ideas for another Resident Evil movie, he's done with franchise movies and is instead making an original movie, The Flood, next.

Battlefield 6 Now Lets You Instantly Unlock All Guns At 100% Mastery For $30
Posted on Tuesday October 13, 2026
It's a big week for Battlefield 6, as the game just launched its big Season 5 update, arrived on Xbox Game Pass, and ushered in a new Game of the Year Edition. That's not all, however, as the military shooter added a big new microtransaction in the form of the Ultimate Shortcut Kit.
Similar to how these shortcut kits worked in past Battlefield games, Battlefield 6's $30 no-so-microtransaction instantly unlocks all of the game's guns for all four classes, and at 100% Mastery--this means they are fully leveled up and kitted out.
People online have raised concerns about the existence of the Ultimate Shortcut Kit, saying it's unfair to allow people to buy every gun right from the start instead of grinding to progress. Other people said they welcome the Ultimate Shortcut Kit because they do not have the time or the interest in spending countless hours levelling up their guns and just want to play everything the game has to offer.
In addition to all the guns, the Ultimate Shortcut Kit for Battlefield 6 includes the Mortal Shriek dog tag and the Field Training: Cross Trained title. Below is a rundown of everything you get in the Ultimate Shortcut Kit.
Similar Ultimate Shortcut Kits for Battlefield 3 ($40) and Battlefield 4 ($50) cost more.
Battlefield 6 was 2025's best-selling game in the US, reportedly selling more than 20 million units in about three months. Despite the game's enormous success, EA cut staff at the studio after launch.
Battlefield 6 Ultimate Shortcut Kit:
Assault Shortcut Kit:
- 7 Weapons (100% Mastery)
- 2 Vehicles (100% Mastery)
- Frontliner Training Path
- 4 Gadgets
Support Shortcut Kit:
- 7 Weapons (100% Mastery)
- 2 Vehicles (100% Mastery)

Despite Huge Changes For The Series, Halo Fest 2026 Is Going Forward, And News Is Coming Soon
Posted on Tuesday October 13, 2026
The big Halo Fest event planned for December is going ahead as planned, despite mass layoffs and other major changes at developer Halo Studios.
Halo Studios director of competitive engagement, Tashi, confirmed this and said there will be news about Halo Fest this week. Additionally, Halo Studios will release materials "celebrating the community and 25 years of Halo," while fans can also look forward to "relevant game info" about in-market Halo games.
"There's a huge amount of Halo fans who are looking forward to the event to attend or watch from home, and we're looking forward to providing a platform for the community to celebrate 25 years of Halo and each other," Tashi said of Halo Fest.
Halo Fest takes place December 11-13 in Seattle--the event is totally sold out. "No matter why you love Halo, whether it’s the story and characters, the music, the art and universe, or just playing with friends--Halo Fest will have something for you," Microsoft said of the event.
The voices of Master Chief and Cortana, Steve Downes and Jen Taylor, will appear at Halo Fest, while there will also be a range of community events celebrating the series. Some had expected Halo Studios to announce the next big Halo game at Halo Fest, but it's not unreasonable to think that plans may have changed.
Halo Fest is happening against a major shift for the Halo franchise following the gutting of Halo Studios and the transition of the series from Halo Studios to Activision. Halo Studios now employs a significantly smaller team that will support already-released Halo games like Halo: The Master Chief Collection and Halo Infinite, but future games in the series--including the rumored reboot--will be made at Activision.
Halo Studios was rumored to be working on Halo 2 and Halo 3 remakes, as well as a new live-service Halo game. That was before the big changes, however, and it's been reported that Activision is working on a Halo reboot.
Red Dead’s Shocking Twist Ending Angered A Lot Of People, But It Was The Right Call, Rockstar Co-Founder Says
Posted on Tuesday October 13, 2026
Rockstar co-founder Dan Houser has recalled the controversial ending to 2010's Red Dead Redemption in which the main character, John Marston, is killed.
He said in an interview that the game's lead designer, Christian Cantamessa was on board with the idea to kill off Marston, but Houser wondered about the production realities of, "How does an open-world game work if you've killed the protagonist?"
"So I said, ‘I think maybe we have to kill him.’ And he goes, ‘That's a great idea. Got to do it.’ I said, ‘I don't know if… let me just think about this,’ because we're just dealing with audio and dialogue," Houser told IGN "The nature of an open-world game is you finish a story, then you go back into the world and wrap up all the side content if you want to. We'd have to play as someone else for that. We could play as Jack, but what does that mean? So I had to think through for a while what it would mean production-wise.”
How Rockstar handled it was by setting RDR's epilogue years later, in the year 1914, with players taking control of Marston's son, Jack. He said this setup presented challenges, too, in terms of the technical realities of playing as Jack as opposed to John. There were story and mission concerns, too, including how multi-stage missions might play out if players, as John, completed one part and then came back to finish later as Jack.
"How would that work? We had to think through all of that stuff and concluded we could probably make it work, but we were still scared," he said.
The RDR epilogue has Jack hunting down and killing the men who killed his father, and Houser said players "really loved" that feeling of vengeance. Ultimately, Houser observed that there was "broad consensus" that it was the right call in the end to kill off John, even if it was an "unusual and out-there decision." Houser was, however, surprised by "how angry some people were about that decision."
"There were people who were livid with you. And part of you goes, ‘That's fantastic,’ because it means you've really engaged in the story and the characters," he said. "Now, I think it was the right decision because you want those big, strong reactions, but I think people were really confused by it. As a writer, it was like he had to die for the story to have any weight."
Also in the interview, Houser said he wanted to achieve something like this in the GTA franchise, but it never happened due to technical reasons.
He and the Rockstar team did, however, pull it off again with Red Dead Redemption II, which is a prequel to the earlier game. RDR2 famously killed off its own main playable character, Arthur Morgan, though he died from tuberculosis or at the hand of Micah. RDR 2 had an epilogue as well, featuring John and Jack Marston.
Houser left Rockstar in 2020 and now works at Absurd Ventures, which is crafting an open-world comedy game. His brother, Sam Houser, remains at Rockstar and helped lead the team bringing GTA 6 to market on November 19.
Send in the Clown is a turn-based RPG comedy about fighting one annoying child at a birthday party where there's only one fight in the whole game
Posted on Tuesday October 13, 2026
I generally find it quite frustrating how limited the medium of games insists on being when it comes to engaging in a wide breadth of genres. One particular genre that its filmmaking cousin frequently utilises but is rarely seen within games is comedy. Sure, occasionally a game makes an attempt at telling a joke within a cutscene (failing more often than not (comedy's hard!)), but rarely is it a genre mechanically. So I'm quite pleased to learn of Send in the Clown, a turn-based RPG where you play as a clown that has to save a 12 year old's birthday party… and it only has one turn.
Escher's Dream is a Portal 2 mod inspired by the non-euclidean works of the classic artist that will leave you feeling only a little bit nauseated
Posted on Tuesday October 13, 2026
You know, given the ubiquity of his work, I'm surprised there aren't more M. C. Escher inspired games in this world There are a few, like Monument Valley, Manifold Garden and Superliminal, amongst a handful of others, you just don't find them all that often in spite of how striking a sense of space is found in Escher's work. Escher's Dream is not, unfortunately, a game of its own, but it is a neat looking Portal 2 mod with some trippy levels in it.
Echoes of Delicious in Dungeon ring out in Deep Dish Dungeon, a co-op dungeon crawler about making meals with whatever you can scrounge up that's out now
Posted on Tuesday October 13, 2026
I would really like it if someone made a Delicious in Dungeon game. It doesn't have to be official, it can be legally distinct! I've been asking for over two years now! I imagine I'll have to keep waiting, but luckily for me, a new game is out today which certainly feels reminiscent of the delightful (and morbid) anime, while still going for its own thing: Deep Dish Dungeon, a co-op dungeon crawler about making do with the ingredients you find that has a dash of Metroidvania elements.
Coming soon to Invincible VS, it's your copyright-friendly neighbourhood Agent Spider
Posted on Tuesday October 13, 2026
Spider-Man might be one of the most parodied characters of all time, simply due to also being one of the most well-known characters of anything, well, ever. Everyone knows who Spider-Man is. Invincible VS' latest trailer plays into this cleverly, with the reveal of Agent Spider as an upcoming DLC character making frequent allusions to his Marvel counterpart.
Ratocalypse might sound like a low-budget horror flick, but it's actually a neat looking Fire Emblem adjacent strategy auto battler
Posted on Tuesday October 13, 2026
What do you think when you hear the name "Ratocalypse"? To me it sounds like one of those so bad they're good horror flicks like Sharknado, and now I kind of want this film to exist. Alas, instead of what I said, it's actually a quite neat sounding, Fire Emblem adjacent, strategy RPG auto battler about anthropomorphic medieval rats who've been subjected to a zombie plague.
