Games

Games are a form of interactive entertainment that can be enjoyed solo or with others, ranging from card and tabletop games to video and mobile games. Video games, often played on consoles, PCs, or smartphones, can be large commercial products or small indie projects, and single-player games typically tell stories that can last from a few hours to over 100 hours. Multiplayer games, popular for both casual and professional play, can be cooperative or competitive and are sometimes broadcast online or on TV. Mashable has a wide variety of daily games you can play for free!

Reviews

Life is Strange: Double Exposure ‘Life is Strange: Double Exposure’ review: A worthy return for its original protagonist
A person with short hair, wearing a dark coat, is standing on a foggy, deserted street. The atmosphere is eerie, with thick mist obscuring much of the surroundings, including power lines and dimly visible buildings in the background. The scene evokes a sense of isolation and tension 'Silent Hill 2' review: A surprisingly fantastic remake of the PS2 horror classic
Artwork from 'The Plucky Squire' showing Jot and his friends leaping from their book. 'The Plucky Squire' review: A wholesome metatextual game for the young of heart
logo for "Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II." The title is displayed prominently in large, metallic font with a dark background, featuring a faint outline of a Space Marine's helmet above the logo. The text "Warhammer 40,000" appears in smaller letters on a banner above the main title. 'Warhammer 40000: Space Marine 2' review: A beautiful, gory mess of a sequel
Concord promo image ‘Concord’ review: Sorry to say it, but it's a flop
The image is a promotional cover for the video game "Madden NFL 25" by EA Sports. It features a football player in a red San Francisco 49ers uniform (number 23) with his arms flexed and an intense expression on his face. The background is blurred, highlighting the player in the foreground. The logos for EA Sports, NFLPA, and Frostbite are visible at the bottom, along with a warning about epileptic seizures and the copyright notice for Electronic Arts Inc. for 2024 'Madden NFL 25' review: Yeah, it's a 'Madden' game
