I was just as surprised as anyone to hear word back in July that we could see another Logitech Superstrike gaming mouse this year. The first one, the G Pro X2 Superstrike, only launched a few months ago, and yet rumours suggest the X3 Superstrike will be revealed later this month during the Logitech G…
Dwarf Fortress has an endless capacity for telling stories. It’s a game built on procedural generation, and any longtime player’ll be able to spin up a dozen yarns about some absurd thing that happened to their gaggle of miners. Just look at a headline from our own Lincoln Carpenter: “Dwarf Fortress forensic specialists blame mysterious…
Folks who pick up Valve’s soon to be released VR headset, the Steam Frame, may get a free Half-Life game with their purchase. Unfortunately, I’m not talking about a brand new release.

Goodwill Geralt. One of the biggest surprises from this year’s Gamescom ONL showcase was the announcement of The Witcher III: Wild Hunt – Remastered for the Switch 2; a reveal made all the more sweet thanks to the confirmation that it would be free for current owners.
