Have you used it yet? When the Switch 2 arrived last June, Nintendo introduced a special “Welcome Offer” for GameChat, which allowed users to access these features for free for a “limited-time”. As we get closer to the end of March, it means there’s now just over a week left to try out these features…
And Requiem debuted as the best-selling game of the year. It’s been quite a busy start to the year with a lot of major games releasing on not only the Switch 2, but across all platforms. Now that February is over, Circana’s Mat Piscatella has shared data for the “Top Best-Selling Platinum Games” on Nintendo…
This popped into my head literally like a lightbulb turning on. I just figured it out. I was sitting there using ChatGPT, working through something… typed a prompt, got a response, tweaked it, tried again, refined it, pushed it a little further… …and it hit me. This is a text adventure. Not “kind of like…
Death Stranding 2‘s PC launch on Thursday may have been overshadowed just a bit by Crimson Desert, but as I wrote in my review, it’s a great game, whether you’re in it for the Hideo Kojima story or the delivery sim sandbox.

Kirsten Dunst has been signed up for the Minecraft Movie sequel, which currently doesn’t have a title, as the player avatar Alex. Alex is one of the default avatars in the game, is female, and has red hair: so Mary Jane feels like a pretty good fit. Dunst is of course known for many more…
The ways in which AI has made our lives worse in the last few years feels, on some level, personal. The RAMpocalypse and Nvidia’s pivot to AI datacenters have made PC gaming a dramatically less affordable hobby. Google is rewriting journalists’ headlines to make them worse while also scraping our work into “AI overviews” that…
Silksong contains remnants of all sorts of cut content, unfinished fragments of a game that never was. One of the things left out was an alternate version of the Last Judge fight that would’ve appeared in the game’s secret third act. YouTube user Kilroy Was Here tracked down the snippets of leftover code for the…
Yesterday, Slay the Spire 2 developer Mega Crit pushed its “first BIG post-launch patch” to the game’s opt-in beta branch, giving players a chance to test the update’s changes ahead of their eventual implementation on the main branch. The beta patch brought “a huge balance pass,” retuning enemies, artifacts, and both the costs and effects…
We warned you last week that the window was closing on OpenTTD, the open source remake of Transport Tycoon Deluxe that was, until quite recently—we warned you, bro—available for free on Steam and GOG. The reason, the OpenTTD team explained, was the imminent return of the real Transport Tycoon Deluxe, the 1995 business sim developed…
