The early renewal signals strong confidence in a show that has quickly become one of the streamer’s biggest new hits.

The Forza Horizon franchise has been my favorite racing series since the release of Forza Horizon 3. The excellent racing mechanics, gorgeous visuals, and the fact that it doesn’t take itself too seriously coalesce into an experience that has resonated with me on a consistent basis. So, naturally, when I heard that several key members of the Forza team (including the director of my personal favorite, Forza Horizon 5) had left Playground Games to create a narrative-style game using many of the lessons learned from their time with that franchise, my interest was instantly piqued. But it wasn’t until I…

Adjusting your Google TV settings is one of those things that sounds simple until you are three menus deep trying to find the brightness slider. Google just made that whole experience a lot less annoying. The company has rolled out new controls for Gemini, and TCL is the exclusive launch partner, meaning TCL TV owners get access to the feature for the first 60 days before it opens up to other Google TV brands.

Alien: Isolation has been touted as one of the best Alien games ever made, if not the best. Despite the praise, it’s taken a surprising 12 years for a proper sequel to be announced, but we finally saw the full reveal of Alien: Isolation 2 during Summer Game Fest. At the show’s Play Days event in Los Angeles, I got to play the opening section of the long-awaited sequel to see how its scares are coming together. Afterwards, I spoke with creative director Al Hope and art director Ana Sopikova to learn how their team is applying over a decade…

Summer showcases often carry a mix of expected and unexpected announcements, and Gundam Rogue Orbit was certainly the latter. Its graphical style and tone seemed like something else entirely, until visual hallmarks like the floating bits, visor, and robotic Haro pal confirmed it was all Gundam.We didn’t learn too much from the initial trailer and subsequent store page listing for Gundam Rogue Orbit, outside of it being a “fast-paced cinematic story with intense, hard-hitting combat in an all-new universe.” A few of those keywords jumped out at me, though, and I got the chance to sit down with Gundam Rogue Orbit chief…
