I’m not going to try convincing you to play through ~500 hours of Final Fantasy 14 for a Monster Hunter Wilds event. It’s easily one of my favorite games, but if you’re not into the story as it stands, then the MMORPG isn’t worth it. I will, however, show you this freakishly adorable baby Seikret…
The kids are playing computer games. According to the latest Global Games Market Report from the analysts at industry intelligence firm Newzoo, Gen Alpha—defined in this case as anyone born in or after 2010—makes up “an increasing share of the player base, especially on PC.” As a lifelong fan of computer games, this is good…
Acquiring the grappling hook doesn’t happen all that quickly in Dying Light: The Beast, but since it was such an important item in Dying Light: Stay Human, you’re probably wondering how to get it into Kyle Crane’s toolbelt.

Every week, I’ll be covering a topic relevant to first-person shooter enjoyers, spanning everything from multiplayer and singleplayer to the old and the new. I can’t think of a time when I was solely obsessed with a singular…
Planet Centauri, a 2D sandbox game blending survival, creature collection, and automation elements, didn’t have the 1.0 launch it expected. Despite making over 100,000 sales and earning spots on more than 130,000 Steam users’ wishlists in over 10 years of early access, indie developer Permadeath watched as Planet Centauri’s full release day came—and the world…
Right now, you’re wondering what retcoming is. Being as the term was first coined only moments ago by yours truly, I’ll be happy to explain. It’s a made up word, of course, because as Thor so deftly proclaimed in 2018’s Avengers: Infinity War, Peri Fractic (Christian Simpson) by Brian Lesyk Yes, good readers, Commodore is…
Battlefield 6 is being pitched as a return to form for the series, and from the looks of it, a reverence for past glories will show up in its music, too: If you have the stomach and the wallet chains for it, you’ll be elated to learn that Battlefield 6 is packing more nu metal…
Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins has given a new interview to the BBC in order to promote a charity stream, and the surprising thing is how downbeat a lot of it is.
