“Whilst this is not the situation which most of us wished for, it is nonetheless the current situation”. If you’re an old fogie like me, then you’ll be aware of Digital Press. One of the earliest sites to truly celebrate and catalogue gaming’s history – both past and present – Digital Press was founded back…
Swings and roundabouts. The latest UK boxed charts data is in, and it seems World Cup fever might be starting to take hold with EA SPORTS FC 26 climbing its way back to number 1. Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream now finds itself back at number 2, but it’s clear the game is maintaining good…
Prokop Jirsa is the lead designer of Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, and now one of Warhorse Studios’ two creative directors. Our Joshua Wolens recently spoke to him about their games’ love of making things difficult for players, but another topic that came up was their systems-driven nature and the role a PC Gamer article played…
When Nvidia comes out with something like DLSS 5, promising that AI can be used to make realistic videogames look even more shiny and real, it makes a kind of sense. Of course Nvidia thinks that’s what we want. When the same kind of promise comes from Roblox, it makes less sense. Roblox Reality promises…
Forza Horizon 6 has been one of the top sellers on Steam since early April and it’s not even out yet. As of April 15 it had reportedly been pre-purchased more than 500,000 times, and that’s likely to have nearly doubled since, considering how steadfastly it has hovered around the top of Steam’s weekly revenue…
Videogames are a great way to do stuff with your friends. In Golf With Your Friends, you could golf with your friends without going through the trouble of actually golfing with your friends. Now, you can gamble with your friends (without having to actually gamble with your friends) thanks to one game: Gamble With Your…
My high school years were spent pumping thousands of hours into games like Killing Floor 2 and Team Fortress 2, so I’m glad a mod like the upcoming Mann Versus Zombies—a total conversion which turns TF2 into a zombie-blasting horde survival bonanza—didn’t come out during my high school years. I probably would not have graduated….
There’s something fitting about a bygone zombie mod that simply refuses to die. That’s exactly what Cheyron’s Nazi Zombies is—a hybrid throwback to Call of Duty’s earliest undead horde mode that’s 10 years in the making and set within Grand Theft Auto 4. I hardly need an excuse to return to GTA 4’s faux slant…
I’ve always loved dissecting song lyrics, but doing that for videogame music always feels like a coin flip. I do find that, more than anywhere else, videogame music is absolutely rife with nonsense lines. Take this one from raid boss Sugar Riot in Final Fantasy 14: “Now we come to orange / Gotta rhyme something…
Darkest Dungeon is one of the best dungeon crawlers period, and a huge part of its appeal is the dour, gravely tones of a mysterious “ancestor” who narrates your every move. The man behind the musings, Wayne June, sadly died last year—and in the wake of news like this, a ghoulish question tends to arise:…
