As long as I’ve been in this technology media game—and the origin story there dates back to the early Mesozoic—some company or other has been trying to flog 3D display technology. So far, none of it has stuck. Even Nvidia’s 3D Vision goggles didn’t catch on. Could that be about to change with the new…

When we last saw Gi-hun, also known as Player 456, he’d rejoined the gladiatorial Squid Game and sparked a rebellion to shut it down for good. Surprise, surprise: his uprising failed, and in the teaser for Squid Game Season 3 we see Gi-hun respawn in the lobby for one more round. There’s not much longer…
The next game from Katamari Damacy creator Keita Takahashi is about a teenager who’s permanently stuck in a T-pose, a default 3D modeling pose you’ll sometimes see glitched-out videogame characters revert to. In To a T, you’ll help Teen—the kid is actually named Teenager—navigate life with their immovable outstretched arms, which in Takahashi’s own words…
All these years later, the Warcraft 3 modding scene is still producing fully fledged games. The mod Battleships is sort of like a take on DOTA, but instead of RPG-style heroes, players pilot upgradable warships afloat in watery labyrinths. The big shakeup is that your weapons fire themselves, so any harassment and creep farming will…
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 isn’t just an RPG, it is also apparently a multiverse. Warhorse Studios recently announced that the game has surpassed three million copies sold, and that means there are now more than three million Henries running around causing trouble in medieval Europe. I’m not the only one who immediately considered the abundance…
Today, Microsoft shuttered Skype. The 22 year old telecommunications program is survived by its many successors, including the detestable Microsoft Teams. Skype was first released in 2003, and was sold three times over the next decade: first to eBay, then to the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, before finally entering the Microsoft family of products…
A new Ecco the Dolphin game is in the works, and a countdown website is now ticking down to what I can only assume will be an official reveal when it hits the zero mark—which will happen in a little over 8,500 hours. Okay, so 8,500 hours: That doesn’t sound like all that long a…
Vampire survival action game V Rising is having a pretty dang good couple of weeks, posting Steam numbers it hasn’t seen since launch after a major update added a new region last Monday. Per SteamDB, V Rising’s concurrent player count has climbed as high as 75,000 players in the past 24 hours, putting it firmly…
Put down the frog: There’s no need to do anything rash. That’ll apply to you, reader of a very specific age, if you were thinking of throwing out your old Webkinz—the toys-to-life plushie that was springing into browsers circa 2005—because the classic version of the game hasn’t been playable on browsers in ages. Last week,…
