Reuters reported on July 9 that OpenAI is preparing to launch an “AI-powered web browser” in a bid to take a slice out of Google’s ad revenue pie. While there isn’t an official release date for this new browser yet, insiders at OpenAI told Reuters it “is slated to launch in the coming weeks.” The…
Through this summer’s deluge of game announcements, nothing made me sit up quite so fast as Owlcat revealing it’s making an Expanse RPG. One that seems, from its initial trailer at least, heavily inspired by Mass Effect. Much as I’ve enjoyed PC gaming’s recent return to highly complex CRPGs, watching the trailer made me realise…
Creative Assembly has delayed the release of its upcoming Tides of Torment expansion for Total War: Warhammer 3, pushing the launch back from this summer to an unspecified date later this year. In a blog post on Creative Assembly’s website, Head of Community Adam Freeman explained that Tides of Torment has been delayed due to…

This week already brought us a refurbished co-op campaign for the original Command & Conquer, and now some bright spark has reworked Yakuza 5 to make it playable with a pal. That modding whiz is…
Dawn of the Tiberium Age is Command & Conquer modding royalty. With a history stretching back to 2007, the standalone mod aims to enhance Westwood’s 1995 classic and its Cold War spinoff Command & Conquer: Red Alert. Built in a customised version of Tiberian Sun’s engine, Dawn of the Tiberium Age lets players battle together…

Just over a year ago, the studio issued one of the biggest patches I’d ever seen for its incredibly ambitious and equally wonky CRPG Warhammer 40k: Rogue Trader. Now, another voluminous changelog is upon us, this time directed at…
Oh boy! Hello folks, and welcome to another edition of Box Art Brawl! Looking back at last week, we checked out Star Wars: Rogue Squadron for the N64, pitting North America and Europe against Japan. It wasn’t even close either, with the western design winning with a resounding 89% of the vote. 89%! We quite…
And why some classics didn’t return. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 rolled out on multiple platforms this week, and while it’s a fantastic throwback to the glory days of the series, there are obviously some differences. Apart from the changes to THPS4, the soundtrack is missing some notable classics. The Birdman himself already…
Cracking down on piracy. Earlier this week, a major Switch ROM site known as ‘nsw2u’ was seized by the FBI as part of a ‘law enforcement operation’. Now, we’ve got an official statement from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, highlighting the other sites seized. Here it is in full (via the official FBI website): Read…
“We’re aware that performance may drop”. Donkey Kong Bananza is shaping up to be an excellent outing for DK, but the recent previews did highlight some performance concerns. The game’s director Kazuya Takahashi has now reportedly acknowledged these issues in a chat with the Spanish outlet Lavanguardia – seemingly confirming these frame rate drops will…
