Warhammer is a decidedly British pastime—it did originate in the UK, after all—but I’ve met plenty of fellow Warhammer nerds right here in the land of opportunity. With all the political strife as of late, it even feels like the grim darkness of the far future is already here! If you too find yourself in…
Red Dead Redemption 2 has some of the most precisely represented horses in the videogame industry. They have multiple distinct gaits, a realistic sense of weight, and miraculously, their little Arthur Morgans shrink in the cold. It’s an admirably attentive but kind of stupid detail touted as much by the game’s fans as its detractors,…
As reported by Eurogamer, Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney took to X (formerly Twitter) to criticize an attempt by US lawmakers to ban the social media app and its accompanying generative AI tool, Grok. The move came after users discovered that Elon Musk’s Grok has the ability to take photos of real people, including minors,…

Remappy days. The long-awaited Metroid Prime 4: Beyond finally released in December, and well, not everyone is happy with it. The game’s focus on NPCs and a literal desert of an open world did not resonate with gamers as well as Retro Studios had hoped. I hate to admit it, but I agree with the…
Sonic Adventure 2 was one of the first games I remember watching my sibling play, mostly because they would often fight about who gets a turn next while I just sat there, not really knowing what was going on. But I really liked the characters, and that feeling stuck around long after I started playing…

November brought us Diffusion, a massively ambitious sci-fi adventure with some truly eye-popping environment design, especially considering the age of its tech. Yes, it featured some terrible AI generated text-to-speech. But its creator…
