I’m mourning a friend today, and what’s more, my friend’s memory is being slandered. Not only will Divinity not carry forward the unique armor system Larian crafted for Divinity: Original Sin 2, my coworkers keep bashing it. PCG guides writer Rory Norris called it “broken” in giant letters on our front page. I forget what…

I don’t know when the first argument about a videogame was had, but something tells me it was before the first videogame was finished. Still, things seem to have gotten much worse in recent years, and Fallout co-creator Tim Cain took to his YouTube channel Friday to discuss the issue of “arguing about games” at…
What’s the best part of making $800,000 in videogame sales on Steam in a single year? You might think it’d be the money, but not so. It’s actually the free chocolate you get from Valve for making all that money on its digital sales platform. As Gamesradar noted in its report on this, there’s a…
You might remember Slork. He featured in a PC Gamer article with the headline “Slork,” and the strapline, “Slork.” Everyone had a good time slorkin’ it back then, and the unfinished hero quickly turned heads with his ridiculous name and experimental, stealthy playstyle. That being said, I have bad news, #SlorkNation: Valve has melted Slork’s…
In its big Divinity AMA yesterday, Larian clarified its use of generative AI tools in development: No AI art or concept art, but the studio is leaving the door open for other applications like using machine learning—and potentially generative AI, it’s unclear where it draws the line in some of its communication—to help clean up…
While the gory trailer certainly turned heads, we still don’t know much about Larian’s upcoming Divinity game. Even the teases seem shrouded in mystery—design head Nick Pechenin responded to a Reddit AMA question yesterday with a comment that sounds like a reveal, but confirms nothing. He wrote in the thread: “There was something that bothered…
The crimson comeback. As someone who witnessed its initial release, I’m delightfully baffled that Nintendo is resurrecting the Virtual Boy. We aren’t just getting a passing mention or a trophy in a Smash Bros. game; we’re getting a full-blown revival, including a dedicated NSO app, a $100 authentic replica peripheral, and a $25 cardboard cutout…
I have a theory, which is that video games ultimately exist to create the most complex simulation of defending Earth against alien threats possible, so that in the event aliens really do invade Earth, there will be people who know exactly how to respond. Is this theory plausible? Unlikely. Have I just made it up…
When it comes to announcing something from Allan Turvey, it’s usually a new game that’s just been announced such as the case with Asteroids RX, Percy Penguin or even Terrapins. But this time he’s decided to do something different, as in relation to the upcoming festive period, he is putting the word out for everyone…
