As someone who has been a die-hard adherent of Firefox for going on 20 years. I was shocked to discover that less than 3% of Internet users surf the web using Mozilla’s open-source web-browser. Sure, Firefox can feel like it’s held together with masking tape at times. But it’s still superior to Edge while also…
You don’t need to be a music fan to have a vampire weekend this week, as toothy survival game V Rising is free on Steam for the next few days. Developer Stunlock Studios has announced that the game will be freely available until Monday, with a deep discount on the full version if you find…
The character system used in Fallout is famously based upon its roleplaying system called SPECIAL. But this wasn’t always the case. In fact, for most of the original game’s development, Fallout’s mechanics were based upon a licensed, table-top roleplaying system called GURPS, which, yes, sounds more like a digestive tract disorder than a TTRPG ruleset….

Overwatch players expected a lot more for its 10th anniversary in-game event. For many, grinding for loot boxes that contain old skins with new colorways and some sprays didn’t feel worthy of such a significant milestone, not to mention the huge amount of games you have to play to earn them in the first place….
After a long and legally tumultuous development, Subnautica 2 made its splashdown into early access yesterday with an impressive launch, drawing hundreds of thousands of players in its first 30 minutes and selling more than 2 million copies before 12 hours were up. Today, Unknown Worlds is following up that triumphant launch day with its…
While Deadlock’s sort-of-launch last year was proof that Valve does, in fact, still make videogames, its immaculate vibes served as a different sort of reminder: That the studio remains among the best in the business of characterful animation.
