Los Santos Customs I’m modding GTA 5 every day in a quest to either transform it into a PC version of GTA 6 or break it entirely. Come back tomorrow to find out what new horrible thing I’ve done to Rockstar’s baby, or check out what I got up to earlier. It might feel minnowish…
While I’ve been pleased to watch Capcom begin teasing out previews of the expanded monster roster we’ll face in Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance, its returning Elder Dragons have left me with a persistent feeling that something’s still missing—something utterly detestable and unsettlingly phallic. Thankfully, that hole in my life has been filled. Over the weekend,…
As someone who spent a lot of their childhood talking to trees, I’m of the opinion that videogame forestry doesn’t need to look any better than Alan Wake 2‘s Pacific Northwest woodlands. That hasn’t stopped AMD from innovating though; by leveraging ‘tetrahedral cages’ to help render a vast scene of greenery, researchers at the company…
World of Warcraft: Forever has a nice little toggle that lets you switch between Classic’s old-school models and Retail’s newer, shinier ones. But which one are you using? Personally, I’m sporting the HD models. The big braided mohawk style on trolls just looks so much better. You can see a little comparison of my current…
Pika! (Translation: “So connected to love”). The Pokémon Company and European Space Agency (ESA) have announced a new collaboration to celebrate World Space Week (4th -10th October). As part of the collab, a special Pikachu plush was sent up to the International Space Station for a total of 67 days, from 11th April to 27th…
I swore I’d never become this evil “I think there are some genuine wrinkles in MoP: Remix, for sure. I’d like to see the shared XP buff thing return, for example—but the frog farming is only a problem if you view the event as a competitive experience, which it isn’t designed to be.”– me, May…
You and what army? Koei Tecmo, in collaboration with developer Omega Force, are prepping the battlefield for the upcoming release Dynasty Warriors 3: Complete Edition Remastered. To whet bloodthirsty appetites, the re-envisioned edition of the PS2 warmonger will be receiving a demo on Thursday, September 24. A fan-favourite entry in the seemingly endless franchise, Dynasty…
Karate classic IK+ also in the mix. A reported retail leak suggests that Evercade’s December releases will include compilations of two classic series: The Last Ninja and James Pond. The listing was spotted by outlet Total Video Games, which noticed a gun-jumping placeholder on retailer The Game Collection. According to the listing, The Last Ninja…
I’m calling it here—this is as bad as it’s gonna get. Insomniac’s Wolverine has been getting slapped around a fair bit because it’s perhaps the summit, the zenith—of ‘how much handholding can you put in a game before we all get sick of it’. And listen, I’ve actually defended yellow paint on this site before….
(And the legacy of gaming’s weirdest box art). For video game fans of a certain age, Matthew Smith needs no introduction. The British-born bedroom programmer tore up the early days of the ZX Spectrum with a series of wild, compelling, and somewhat anarchic titles, games which were emboldened with working-class spirit and emblazoned with some…
