Speaking to Bithell Games founder Mike Bithell on the release of the studio’s latest game, Tron: Catalyst, I had to get his take on the current state of licensed games.

Pope Leo XIV is a pontiff of firsts: He’s the first American Pope, his love for Wordle makes him the first gamer Pope, he’s the first Pope to declare war on AI, and now he’s the first Pope in human history to both own and have signed a Pokémon card. Yeah, I wasn’t expecting that…

As a longtime Dwarf Fortress devotee, the last few years of DF development have felt like a wonder. For most of the procedural fantasy sim’s history, there could be years between updates as development progress was subject to the circumstances affecting the Adams brothers’ lives and attention.

World of Warcraft: The War Within is in its home stretch, as Blizzard starts prepping for the next step in its trio of announced expansions, Midnight. Arriving August 5, Ghosts of K’aresh will very, very likely be the last major content update before the expansion hits. While the official blog doesn’t state this, all signs…

With the Happy Ghast out in the wild now, Minecraft is working on its next drop for the year. Details about the contents of the drop are thin on the ground right now, but we have seen the first new mob – the Copper Golem. It’s not quite the towering beast you’d expect, especially after…
