Did you fall for this one? Back in 2013, Twitter user VGFGamers posted with supreme confidence that “all of the voices in arcade hacking-and-slashing game Golden Axe were performed by American prisoners on death row.” Three years later on the same platform, vipgamesaus repeated the same claim almost word-for-word – and this has been reproduced…
The devil works hard but cheaters in Marvel Rivals work harder, as always. Some have chosen to go to extreme lengths to avoid getting an icky loss tacked to their precious match history, using their config files to help them do so. “People are intentionally abusing the cheating detection system to cancel games with no…

While union members outside Bethesda’s Maryland office celebrated a recent Microsoft visit by positioning a field of red flags representing laid-off workers and a giant inflatable rat on the lawn, inside the building CEO Asha Sharma was apparently having a delightful time watching a playthrough of The Elder Scrolls 6. So that’s nice. “The scale…
Lord of Undead is a “grim” third-person RPG about building an army of vicious zombies in order to maliciously raze the villages of mortals. The goal is to defeat peace and innocence, all the better for evil to prevail. You also get to build houses. It sounds pretty fun and, as far as I can…
At the finale of Deus Ex: Human Revolution you choose which button to press to trigger one of its endings while an AI explains the differences between them. It was not a well-liked way to wrap up the game, and when just over six months later Mass Effect 3 came along with a remarkably similar…
“Built like a brick wall on roids.” That’s the passive ability Lee Sin—err, Xizun, the blind monk, used to have in League of Legends, which itself used to be a very different-looking game called Onslaught: War of the Immortals.
