All licensed casinos are required to ensure fair play and game integrity, or they could face serious fines. Besides the fines, casinos with unfair practices can lose their reputation because no one wants to play in a casino where they could be cheated out of their winnings. So, how do these casinos ensure that their…
Image 1 of 2 (Image credit: Secretlab ) Image 2 of 2 (Image credit: Secretlab ) Just last year, Secretlab put out a Monster Hunter 20th anniversary edition set of Titan Evo chairs for the legendary action game, and to celebrate the upcoming launch of Monster Hunter Wilds, one more is on the way.

The first Monster Train had great timing: It pulled into Steam a few months after Slay the Spire left early access, which was right when I was ready for a break from spire slaying, but was still in the mood for roguelike deckbuilding. And it was a lot of fun. Five years later, history might…
Talk about Funky. The worlds of gaming and footwear crossover more than you might expect. The snazzy Pokémon x Crocs collection took our breath away last year, Bull Airs released a range of console-inspired sneakers and even Converse has got involved in the past too. But all of them pale in comparison to what Nike…

The main thing I remember about the movie Black Hawk Down, a thoroughly post-Saving Private Ryan slice of gritty military hero worship, is actor Tom Sizemore sauntering around with an almost casual indifference to the bullets whizzing past his head. Even when he gets hit, he treats it as more of an annoyance than anything….
You won’t hear any lectures from me, as I know how hard it is to let go of tech that’s served you well. My last gaming laptop lasted me 10 years before the recovery partition on the hard drive finally said ‘no more!’ True, it had been ailing for some time before then, repeatedly switching…

Overwatch 2’s Season 16 began last night, and with it came a load of new features like perks and loot boxes, changes to the UI, and a rank reset. It’s a big update for the start of the season, but one that was very much needed thanks to the new competition that Marvel Rivals has…
Words cannot describe how much I love Avowed’s glossary of, well, words. In case you’ve not been playing Obsidian’s excellent little RPG yet, the game has a “dialogue history and lore” option you can pull up whenever someone’s not actively yapping, which’ll not only let you skim through previous dialogue. It’ll also pull up a…
