Slay the Spire 2 just released a major balance patch—and aside from forcing me into an update for my Silent Ascension 10 guide in the near future—it’s delivered a whole heap of changes to the game, including one fascinating RNG bugfix discovered at the hands of a determined player. RNG can always be a nightmare…
The Sims 4 painted the town green with its outdoorsy, fairy-themed expansion, but if you don’t want to work your way up the faefolk rankings to get to the good stuff, you can use Enchanted by Nature cheats for an easy shortcut. Some fairy features don’t have their own code, but here you’ll find cheats…
Valve is struggling to meet demand for its Steam Controller. The trackpad-equipped gamepad quickly sold out when it released in early May, and ever since there’s been a reservation system similar to the one once used for Steam Deck. And people have been using it, to such an extent that Valve has needed to upgrade…
Valve has revealed the ten most played Steam Next Fest demos, and based on the hours I’ve spent browsing the more than 4,000 demos, I’m not super surprised by the results. Bandai Namco’s forthcoming Sword Art Online RPG, Echoes of Aincrad, is grabbing a lot of expected attention, and so is the offroading sim by…
At this year’s EVE Fanfest, the developers of EVE Online sister game Frontier were touting its new driving controls and gamepad support—features that have already resulted in a vastly different game than Fenris Creations’ (formerly CCP Games) original MMO. As a big Steam Deck sicko, I was naturally curious whether Frontier’s gamepad support opened up…
This is not the first time the idea has been mooted. And the source here is either about as authoritative as it gets or as unreliable as humanly possible, depending on how you look at it. But President Trump says that Apple has agreed to make chips with Intel in the USA. Specifically, in a…
Of the thousands of demos on offer during the current Next Fest, I’ve far and away been most fond of About Fishing, The Water Museum’s downright Lynchian “fishing mystery game” of surrealist, psychological angling that’s eerie, absurd, and endearing in equal measure. My tackle box has a conspiracy board inside it, the town church has…
Life is about to get much easier for World of Warcraft players tired of having to track down guildmates to get a group together for a raid. Blizzard is officially acknowledging that Discord is the most convenient solution to this problem and will be integrating its chat directly into the MMO in the next update….
I’ve got some exciting news for fans of Sharknado, Sharknado 2: The Second One, Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!, Sharknado: The 4th Awakens, Sharknado 5: Global Swarming, and The Last Sharknado: It’s About Time. Anthony C. Ferrante, the director of all six Sharknado movies (and the upcoming Sharknado prequel, Sharknado Origins, coming soon to probably-not-a-theater)…
Although my mental conception of time is convinced it came out perhaps three weeks ago, Nightdive’s System Shock remake is three years old. The game released in 2023 after a long and winding road through development, consisting of various course corrections and reboots. All in all, it was eight years between the game’s announcement—originally as…
