The PC Gamer review of Morrowind scored it an 83 back in 2002, which as the disclaimer at the top will inform you, is the lowest score a mainline Elder Scrolls game has got from the UK mag to date. That may stir feelings of confusion and unrest in you as it does “the Morrowind…
Elden Ring Nightreign was a major shakeup to the formula FromSoftware cultivated over several Dark Souls games, Bloodborne, Sekiro, and Elden Ring—while each of those games is a departure from the last, Nightreign’s multiplayer focus and battle royale-inspired format make it a different beast altogether. But even though it was less of an RPG than…
Resin-dent Evil? For past me, the idea of 3D printing — just the mention of it, the sound of the words — always conjured up images of stuff like Tom Cruise and his wee red balls in Minority Report. I know, the ‘precog’ machine in that particular movie wasn’t really a 3D printer, and Tom’s…

Bans make picking and counterpicking more interesting and keep imbalanced characters off the field while players wait for a balance patch—and…
If you read the history books of the 16th century, Sayyida al-Hurra will rarely show up. The powerful women of the Mediterranean and Islam typically don’t, except as footnotes or asides. So her leadership, piracy and plundering for her people never quite made the major texts. But the “pirate queen” of Morocco is finally receiving…

Jeffrey Epstein, or an account associated with his email address, was banned from Xbox Live in 2013, new documents released by the US Justice Department reveal. The ban notice cites “harassment, threats, and/or abuse of other players,” but it appears that the actual reason was that Epstein, who died in 2019 while awaiting trial for…
