Outlast 2 Demo Out On Steam
The highly anticipated creepfest of a game, Outlast 2 may have been delayed to 2017, but there’s some solace for the fans of gut-hurling gore. thanks to the announcement of the demo for the game being available on Steam, albeit for a limited time. The free demo is only available till 1st November, so its safe to assume it comes as a Halloween present.

When ReCore was first announced at the E3 conference this year, the game looked like delightfully surprising, a fresh take on action-adventure video games by the great minds who gave us classics like Metroid Prime and Mega Man.

We certainly hope it’s just the trailer and not...

Moreover, it will be backwards compatible, meaning you don’t have worry about your old library once you make the switch. But there seems to be a bigger, more ambitious approach at work. In an interview with The Verge, Phil Spencer, the Head of the Xbox division at Microsoft said, “One of the most significant initiatives doesn’t revolve around a single conso...

Microsoft had been quiet for a while but on Wednesday during a Windows 10 event, it broke that silence.

The Windows Holographic has within in a part called the “Microsoft HoloLens” headset.
