There’s good news and bad news from Take-Two Interactive’s quarterly financial report: Grand Theft Auto 6 is still on track for release in the fall, and no, it’s still not announced for PC. This has been going on for a while now, as you very likely know: There was no mention of a PC release…
It’s a great week for going medieval. Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 crashed through Steam’s gates on Tuesday, and now here comes survival sandbox Rust with its Primitive update. It’s got swords, shields, bows and arrows, siege weapons, and a few mild anachronisms like jewel-encrusted assault rifles and electricity-powered autocrossbows. This is Rust, after all, and…
In a recent interview with the Wall Street Journal, legendary actor Harrison Ford again took the time to praise Troy Baker’s performance as Indiana Jones in MachineGames’ The Great Circle.

Spider-Man 2 did not quite stick the landing…
Squeaker. A new patent filed by Nintendo seems to confirm that the Nintendo Switch 2’s Joy-Con will include mouse functionality. The patent was filed on 1st April 2023 and made public today, 6th February 2025 (thanks to reader Davis for sending this to us!). Sure, we’ve been pretty confident about mouse functionality given the number…
Civilization 7 doesn’t fully launch until next Tuesday, February 11, but it’s playable now for people who sprung for the Founders Edition, and so far the response isn’t what Firaxis or 2K Games had to be hoping for. There’s a range of complaints, as there always is, but most widespread is criticism of the UI,…
Review catch-up (Image credit: Coal Supper) There were a few games last year that we didn’t have time to review, so before 2025 gets too crazy we’re playing review catch-up and rectifying some of these omissions. So if you’re reading this and wondering if you’ve slipped through a wormhole back into 2024, don’t worry, you’ve…
The Sims 4 is now well into its nostalgia-fueled “Motherlode season” celebrating the series’ 25th anniversary and also revealing the next Sims 4 expansion pack: Businesses & Hobbies. After the Life & Death pack at the end of last year we’re apparently in a double word plus ampersand expansion era—who do I have to pander…
