From time to time, I rely on machine translation. From time to time, machine translation reminds me why it can never truly replace human translators—case in point, referring to this VR glove as having ‘vibrator’ touch panels. Large Language Models are trained on many libraries worth of words, spitting out a statistically likely word vomit…
Hades 2 almost had me questioning Supergiant’s decision to make its first sequel. I loved Hades, which brought all of the studio’s past experience to bear on a killer action game for the roguelike curious, but I wasn’t convinced a sequel would be a better follow-up than whatever new idea for a game Supergiant could…

Last week brought a new update to Counter-Strike 2 that, among various tweaks to the game, added a brand-new way to obtain the game’s latest set of gun skins. The set is called the Genesis Collection, though sadly Valve neglected the chance to name them all after Phil Collins songs, and can only be bought…
Harvey Randall, Staff Writer (Image credit: Future) Last week I was: Reviewing Borderlands 4, a game I like very much despite its many warts. There’s been a healthy heaping of difficulty discourse surrounding Silksong, and with good reason. This game’s tough as nails. I just wrapped up my 60-hour playthrough of all three acts, and…
