Hackusations: We’ve all made one, been the target of one, or at least suspected that our online opponents aren’t legit. Few communities are more likely to call foul on your play than Call of Duty, whose prevalence among cheat sellers convinced Activision to form Ricochet, an entire division dedicated to anti-cheat, a few years ago….

Watching the new trailer for Shadow Labyrinth, which dropped during yesterday’s Nintendo Direct, you’d be forgiven for thinking it’s just a sidescroller about a sci-fi world beset by otherworldly monsters and wreathed in tragedy. I mean, it is all of those things, it’s just also a Pac-Man game, which you might have gleaned from the…

Take a look at the top games on Steam this week and nestled among big names like Marvel Rivals and Monster Hunter Wilds is Schedule I: an early access first-person drug-dealing sim that looks like extras from Rick & Morty are acting out the plot of Breaking Bad. I was pretty much expecting another streamer-bait…

Rare’s Sea of Thieves, the live service pirate-em-up and one of Microsoft’s great Game Pass stalwarts, has announced a new collaboration with Bungie’s Destiny 2. This must be a funny feeling for Bungie, which was acquired by Microsoft in 2000 and made its name with the Xbox-exclusive Halo games, before going independent in 2007, and…

Fists are flying, powers are blasting, and Arise Crossover may have just become my favorite combat-oriented game in Roblox. With so many beat-’em-up games on the platform, it takes a lot to make one stand out. This one is inspired by the hit webtoon and anime Solo Leveling so it’s bound to be an epic…

Have you ever stopped to really consider vehicle damage in games? The unfathomable number of complex calculations it must take to deform a car’s materials in real-time, in a way that makes you nod to yourself?
