Revolving Ocelot. While there are many instances of video game box art being altered from territory to territory – typically to give Kirby ANGRY EYES or to stick a gun in somebody’s hand – the case of Konami’s 1998 masterpiece Metal Gear Solid has been something of an outlier. While the Japanese and North American…
“The delay has proven immensely beneficial”. After being delayed to “allow time for performance adjustments“, Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition finally arrived on the Switch 2 last month. So, was it worth the wait? Digital Foundry has now taken a look and confirms the delay has been “immensely beneficial to the quality of the final release”….
After a quiet few months, September finally hits the gas, and our list of monthly PC game happenings is filled with brand new adventures, series continuations, 1.0 updates, and events galore. I’m still playing catch-up after Gamescom, and now we’ve got Tokyo Game Show queued up soon. It’s the same schedule every year, but somehow…
The way our hobby talks about player counts is all sorts of messed up. Steam concurrents are a useful metric for gauging a game’s general popularity, but they paint an incomplete picture.

In 2021, as studio CEO Pete Parsons cited the company’s recent “tremendous growth and opportunity,” Bungie announced its plans for a massive expansion to its Bellevue, Washington headquarters. The campus embiggening, which internal sources have reportedly described as costing “hundreds of millions” of dollars, more than doubled the size of Bungie’s offices from 84,000 square…
The White House, the epicenter of power in the most powerful nation in human history, has rolled out a new online arcade on its website. And yes, it is every bit as racist, repugnant, and creatively bankrupt as you’d expect. We’ll set aside the question of “why?” for now and get straight to the games,…
Another day, another DLSS 5 story that actually kinda doesn’t involve Nvidia itself doing anything, because it seems now AMD GPU owners can get in on the act. A new homebrew app has been released on Github that will allow you to run the DLSS Neural Rendering feature on a Radeon GPU. I’ve tried it…
