Suddenly it all makes sense: The director of the turn-based RPG with combat that plays like an action game, Clair Obscur, is also a hardcore Devil May Cry player. GamesRadar was snooping through Guillaume Broche’s Reddit account—where he once made a post looking for voice actors—and found a YouTube video of him defeating Vergil in…
I began to suspect things were unstable when the president beat a man to death in the street. Daniel Webster was an odd choice of leader by the American people: his predecessor, Andrew Jackson, did a lot of hate crimes and died early, his popularity hovering somewhere around the level of ‘active rebellion’. Yet when…

However, as busy and as overstuffed with pale imitators to the greats as this genre is, it’s still well worth keeping an eye out for the odd gem. And here…
This week marked 20 years since the reveal of the Xbox 360, an anniversary noted by Kotaku, and as someone old enough to remember getting hyped for this thing, I had to watch it. The reveal took place in 2005, and is basically a collection of signifiers that we’re back in 2005: The video (embedded…
Size Five Games’ Dan Marshall has been making games for around 20 years, and was one of the early indie adopters of Steam when he released the excellent Time Gentlemen, Please! on the platform back in 2009. He’s been around the block, then, and he’s seen it change dramatically. Trying to figure out the secret…
Steam’s newly automated monthly top-seller list now lets you go all the way back to 2004, and it’s been a fun way to take a trip down memory lane. And as Jody noted, it’s shined a light on one particular oddity: Rag Doll Kung Fu. Chances are you’ve never heard of it, but this fighting…

I apologise for briefly providing context: developer Virtuos paid some special attention to the flame…
You overestimate my power. Here’s a statement that gets worse the longer you read it: Fortnite‘s new Star Wars season has gained a Darth Vader NPC that can talk to you in the voice of the late, great James Earl Jones via a generative AI chatbot. Forget Imperial Admiral Motti’s lack of faith, we find…
