Over a decade after announcing Star Citizen, mastermind Chris Roberts has finally declared that its Squadron 42 singleplayer campaign—just a piece of the bigger Star Citizen “persistent universe,” which has raised over $600 million in crowdfunding—is feature complete and entering the “polish” phase. No release date has been announced, and polishing may take “some time,”…
Today, October 23, is Fallout Day, also known as Bombs Drop Day. For those not hip to the lingo, October 23, 2077, is the day of the world-ending Great War in the Fallout mythos: A full-scale thermonuclear war between the US and China that annihilated nations, killed billions, and threw the global climate into a…
Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection is out on Tuesday, finally bringing the best Metal Gear game—MGS3—to PC for the first time. As I wrote in my preview back in August, I’m still disappointed by how barebones the ports of these great games are. While Konami’s going above and beyond with its included bonus materials and…
The Oxen Gods are finally pleased. After four months with no news, a Diablo 4 player has made a major discovery in the hunt for its supposedly non-existent secret cow level. “Uh hey, so I just got the Musty Tome from a cow after killing about 666 of them (it was hard to count),” a…

Today, over on our YouTube channel, the lovely Felix is celebrating one of the most underappreciated Mario sports games: Mario Hoops 3-on-3, known as…

There’s certainly some sparks there in the game, but as reported by GamesRadar, an inaccessible…
We just can’t get enough punishing fantasy horror action RPGs. After Elden Ring last year and Lies of P in September, and despite some early performance complaints and proximity to RPG juggernauts Baldur’s Gate 3 and Starfied, Lords of the Fallen has already sold more than a million copies, according to its publisher. Lies of…
I wonder… Okay, let’s see if we can get through this one without a single ‘wonder’ pun… Last week, Super Mario Bros. Wonder launched to almost universal acclaim from critics and players alike. Sure, you’ll find a dissenting voice or two in the crowd if you go hunting for them, but the vast majority of…
The endless parade of incongruous Magic crossovers continued today with news that Marvel, the purveyor of movies, television shows, comics, videogames, and other popular media that you simply cannot get away from, is coming to Magic: The Gathering.
