I like the new Dune movies. They’re good. I also like that Funcom’s survival MMO Dune: Awakening is based, stylistically and aesthetically, on the new Dune movies. That’s great. But I do miss some of the sheer weirdness of the original Dune film. Lynch’s Dune film. And if I had to narrow it down to…
Funcom has begun revealing details of the Chapter 3 update coming soon to survival MMO Dune: Awakening, and it sounds like a pretty substantial one. Speaking with game director Joel Bylos last week, he told me the update is aimed at giving endgame players more to do, and will include a ‘completely revamped Landsraad system,’…

More rare titles get a second lease of life. Retro-Bit’s reissues have proven to be an absolute godsend to cash-strapped gamers who want to own some of the most desirable video games of the past few decades. We’ve seen the likes of Gleylancer, Eliminate Down and El-Viento all get new physical copies in recent years,…
I will admit, I was expecting more from the Corsair One. More heat, more noise, more annoyance. After all, the original Corsair One, while admittedly smol, was a noisy ol’ chimney of a PC. But the current design—a bit taller, a bit deeper—is far more suited to the task of keeping both high-end CPU and…
