Originally released in 1999, it and its Six Ages successors are some of the finest fantasy in videogames, with systems-driven storytelling involving everything from settling multigenerational cattle disputes to undertaking mythic quests in the realm…

As reported by TheGamer, BioWare producer Mark Darrah opened up about the history of attempted Dragon Age remasters and remakes at BioWare in a recent interview with MrMattyPlays on YouTube. The former BioWare dev thinks a remaster of the first three Dragon Age games is the best shot the series has at a future, but…

Civilization 7 got off to a rough start when it dropped earlier this year: Systemic changes, particularly the addition of “ages,” proved deeply divisive, but there was also a slew of more basic problems with bugs, AI issues, and a widely-disliked UI. It remains stuck with a “mixed” user rating on Steam, and concurrent player…

Last month, the UK rolled out new age verification measures under the Online Safety Act 2023 (OSA), a new bill intended to protect the most vulnerable in the country from the worst of the internet.
