For ten years, I’ve been obsessed with a single dialogue choice (really a collection of choices) at the beginning of Pillars of Eternity’s first expansion, The White March: Part One. Once you’ve finished beating back an ogre attack on the town of Stalwart, you’re free to poke around, meet the residents, accept side quests, all…

Rainbow Six Siege pro Sho “BlackRay” Hasegawa of the Japanese CAG Osaka esports organization has been arrested along with six others for allegedly kidnapping and confining a man for a period of three months, during which time they tortured him and extorted around 2 million yen ($13,000). A machine-translated report by Jiji.com (via SiegeGG) says…

Ichiro Lambe is a games industry veteran with one hell of a CV: he co-founded Worlds Apart (which became Sony Online Denver), founded Dejobaan Games (probably best-known for the excellently named skydiving game AaaaaAAaaaAAAAaAAAAA!!!), and consulted at Valve for a spell, during which he was one of the key movers behind the creation of Steam…

With the launch of The Edge of Fate expansion, we’re introduced to yet approach to gear and levelling in Destiny 2, including Armour 3.0 and world/gear tiers. I swear it’s a yearly overhaul at this point. But boy, what a grind it is this time around, pushing us towards the Portal—a brand-new ‘main menu’ so…

The first time I sat down to test out the Sony WF-C710N, I was disappointed. Though they connected to my rig easily, what followed was hours worth of fiddling around, disconnecting audio, and crackling sounds. I figured this wasn’t what was supposed to happen, took it to another rig and had the same problem. After…

When I was a young warthog, trying and failing to touch type with my wee hoofs at the family computer, I had a choice of two audio output devices—some relatively decent speakers or a headset that wouldn’t look out of place in a call centre. As a teen growing up during the advent of both…

People mill about laughing in the sun, but something’s off. The world feels grainy and sluggish like I’m wading through sand. I need to keep the girl close. Aether & Iron is so dripping with noir it’s leaving behind fedora-shaped puddles. It’s full of steely internal dialogue like this where you hear the main character,…

We’ve finally got word when the next Everdark Sovereigns are coming to Elden Ring Nightreign, and it’s sooner than I thought it would be, clocking in at just two weeks away. Soon, players will be able to contest with Everdark versions of Tricephalos, Augur, Fissure in the Fog, and Equilibrious Beast. “The veil thins, and…

This week, a new expansion launched for Destiny 2. The Edge of Fate marks the start of a brand new saga—and ushers in a major overhaul to some key systems, seemingly aimed at making the game more accessible for newcomers and more sticky for its remaining playerbase. In theory, then, this should be a big…

Back in June at the PC Gaming Show, Rocketwerkz revealed what’s next for its co-op survival game Icarus: A major DLC called Great Hunts Campaigns that effectively turns Icarus into a first-person monster hunting game. Rocketwerkz said at the time that Great Hunts would launch “soon,” and today it got more specific by announcing that…
