It wants to, and it is currently undertaking a closed beta test to help configure hardware for a VR update, but right now, it just supports joysticks, controllers, HOTAS setups, and TrackIR.

Rumors point to PC getting an open beta test for VR in early November, but now we have news that there might also be some sort of VR support for Microsoft Flight Simulator coming to the Xbox Series X....

The original Slender title was a free-to-play game which proved to be a very entertaining, though short, experience. Gamers would simply try and run through the woods collecting notes before Slender Man could catch up to them, and the cryptic and persistent adversary proved to be a smash hit with fans of the horror genre. Expanding on this, Blue Isle Studios created a paid-for standalone game that runs across 5 atmospheric chapters....

South Park: The Stick of Truth may just be the most authentic take on TV’s 2D township the games industry has yet produced. In keeping with the spirit of the show, and in particular its abundant love of funny, unfunny and somehow funny again skits, this soon-to-be-released title has tweaked and tested fans with an increasingly erratic schedule. Announced in 2011 and delayed in 2012, promised for 2013, and finally (hopefully) delivered in March of this year, Obsidian’s outlandish RPG has plenty to live up to where rampant hype and expectation is concerned....

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla gives players a glimpse into the lives of many characters, from the strictly historical to the fantastic fictional, with most of them existing as a blend between the two extremes. Players who experience the game and all of the side quests will know of these characters well, those who read the Codex will know even more. Yet, this is not the only place to turn for more information about these individuals....

Many of these great lost games have interesting mechanics, impressive design, and even some great branding opportunities....

People consider Final Fantasy VIII to be the black sheep of the franchise, which is quite an unfair label for the title.

Given how the cards were stacked against Final Fantasy VIII, it’s quite refreshing to see just how excellent the game turned out to be....

Whole new gameplay elements can be added, and the possibilities are virtually endless.

We’ve had the glorious Grand Theft Auto V in our hands for almost six years now – that’s a lot of time to have gone through the entire game, squeezing every ounce of content out of it. With Michael, Trevor, and Franklin, we’ve blitzed through missions, delving into their lives, kicking butt and taking names. But this game has a wealth of secrets – Easter Eggs and neat tricks, and hidden references – so many that there are still loads to this day that players haven’t even found yet....

Suffice it to say fans have been waiting to get their hands on this for a long time and thankfully it does not disappoint.

12 Minutes, an interactive thriller about a man in a timeloop, will have heaps of Hollywood talent, including Daisy Ridley, James McAvoy, and Willem Dafoe. The game places a large emphasis on drama as a police detective infiltrates your home and accuses your wife of murder - shortly thereafter, your character gets beaten to death. What makes this worse is that he’s doomed to repeat the same 12 minutes over and over again; it’s kind of a messed up Groundhog Day....

Where does a developer take a franchise that has become a worldwide cultural phenomenon?

But no, these are busy birds, busier than the busiest of bees, these birds scoff at the notion of not having another project already in the pipeline. That project…is Angry Birds Go!...
