We pretty quickly learned that the fastest way to make money in Starfield isn’t by harvesting resources or scanning planetary data or pawning stolen spaceships. It’s from selling all the guns you collect while shooting your way through hordes of space pirates and serpent fanatics. So what if I could give you a quick shortcut…
Not since Overwatch 2 have I seen a sequel as misguided as Payday 3. What could have been a slam dunk follow-up to Payday 2, one of the most popular co-op shooters in the last decade, is mired by its always-online requirement. Even though the servers have started to stabilize, Payday 3‘s emphasis on completing…
Activision Blizzard has confirmed that a “small number” of employees on its Hearthstone team have been laid off. Word of the layoffs surfaced late yesterday in LinkedIn posts by former Blizzard employees. “After 18 and a half years at Blizzard Entertainment, I’ve been laid off without notice as of today,” tools engineer Hunter C. wrote….
Say cheese. Afterdream is a pixel art horror title that puts atmosphere and puzzle-solving above all else. Taking place within the psyche of our protagonist as she recounts her vivid dreams, this format allows Afterdream to make liberal use of weird imagery to tell an intriguing and engaging story. Drawing inspiration from classic survival horror…
Counter-Strike 2 left its testing phase and gobbled up Counter-Strike: Global Offensive today, replacing the decade-old version of the legendary 5v5 competitive FPS on Steam with a sequel built on Valve’s newest engine. CS:GO is, as far as I can tell, gone—players who prefer the old version can’t go back, which Valve seemed to confirm…
Not many mod projects have 122-page chronicles of their own history, but then not many mod projects are Tamriel Rebuilt, a mod for The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind whose aim is to, well, build Morrowind. The rest of it, I mean. Because in spite of the name, Morrowind doesn’t actually contain its entire titular province. …
When a videogame lets me dramatically punch someone in the middle of a conversation, it takes a lot of restraint to resist the urge. The opportunity arises a couple of times in Cyberpunk 2077, and nobody is more deserving than Fingers, Night City’s scummiest ripperdoc, who V encounters during the main story. Despite his extremely…
With EA Sports FC 24, the first game in Electronic Arts’ post-FIFA world, just a few days from launch, last year’s FIFA 23, and all other games in the FIFA series, have been removed from sale on Steam, Epic, and other digital storefronts. Electronic Arts pulled the plug on the FIFA series in 2022 after…
Everyone loves a little mystery. Heck, players have been trying to solve a puzzle in Cyberpunk 2077 for almost three years. And now some Starfield sleuths are trying to solve a puzzle in Bethesda’s space RPG. Well, maybe. A strange cube covered in dots found in Starfield vexed one player enough to ask for help…
We finally got more information on the much-talked-about Meta Quest 3 mixed-reality headset during today’s Meta Connect Keynote. From the looks of it, Meta is going hard to bring mixed reality gaming and productivity to the masses and giving it a big performance boost over the already impressive Meta Quest 2. Meta announced the Quest…
