Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced is out on Steam today, and so far it seems to be going either really well or not great, depending on how you want to look at it. In terms of players, things are rosy: Nearly 115,000 people are playing at the moment, and it hit a 24-hour peak of…
It’s been a few years since current-gen consoles got their fancy GTA 5 upgrade loaded with new features and modern graphics updates, but that version is finally available on PC now as Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced. The souped-up version of GTA comes to PC with Hao’s Special Works auto shop, new vehicles, and enough…
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is great. So great that I slapped a 90% score on it in our Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 review. But frankly, I wasted a lot of your time in that piece, nattering on about narrative and mechanics and whatever when I could have just presented you with my grand unified theory…

Perhaps even videogame NPC behaviour? While all of the above work on the same principle—to risk oversimplification, that is a computer stitching together human-created fragments to make something…
There are a lot of studios taking a crack at developing ‘the next Disco Elysium‘, but the one that’s intrigued me the most so far is Rue Valley. Emotion Spark’s narrative RPG is set during a 47-minute window in an out-of-the-way motel, featuring an enigmatic protagonist trying to forget about some unexplained trauma. At the…
Last week (a week ago today, in fact), I wrote about the upcoming Logitech G PowerPlay charging mousepad and how I was a little disappointed because while it’s a little cheaper, it also looked like it was going to be a little smaller. And I say “looked like” because, well, that’s what the specifications on…
