“You think Mario Kart competes with a game like this”. Rockstar Games blew up the internet this week with the second official trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI and it’s led to all sorts of discussion about the current state of the industry including the future pricing of games (yes, it’s come up again). Former…
Over on Reddit, an Oblivion Remastered player going by the name of purpleturtlehurtler claims to have found the perfect balance of speed and fun. In a 90-second video, their high elven mage (with a custom class called “Master Blaster”) leaps from a frozen mountainside, flies through the air to land near the sunny Imperial City,…
Back to basics. When the Switch 2 launches, you can expect to be navigating the system in a similar way to the original unit. For example, there’s a familiar-looking HOME menu, the eShop has received a slight makeover but you’ll still access it in the same way, and you’ll also launch games from the main…
Along with sleuths like Sherlock Holmes, Columbo, and Hercule Poirot, pop culture is full of detectives who aren’t, technically, real detectives. Jessica Fletcher of Murder, She Wrote was a novelist who just happened to solve in the neighborhood of 250 murders. Father Brown was an exceptionally nosy small town priest who had a knack for…

More than a year after Microsoft’s $69 billion acquisition of videogame behemoth Activision Blizzard was successfully completed, the US Federal Trade Commission’s effort to block it has run aground. A federal appeals court has rejected the FTC’s appeal of a ruling that denied its request for a preliminary injunction against the deal, saying the lower…
Hoo, boy. Alright, let’s see here. Yesterday, an otherwise unremarkable Tuesday rapidly became confusing for Elden Ring-heads and people looking at particular corners of the internet when Nexus Point News, an entertainment news site, published an article claiming that Annihilation and Civil War director Alex Garland is set to direct an Elden Ring film adaptation…
Stepping back into Oblivion Remastered can feel a bit overwhelming, even for those of us who played the original way back *checks watch* 19 years ago. For those Skyrim fans who stepped into the game expecting something similar, I’m sorry to tell you that Oblivion is a different beast entirely. Whether it’s trying to overcome…
‘The Epic Games Store launcher sucks less than it used to’ is not very high praise but it’s about as far as I’m willing to go. It has improved, undeniably, but it’s still painfully slow, awkward, and just not pleasant to use—not to the point that I refuse to use it, but if I have…
