Nvidia announced DLSS 5 back in March and it received, let’s say, mixed reactions. A lot of people weren’t happy about how, judging by the demos, it seemed to essentially just slap a ‘yassifying’ AI filter on top of a game scene. Nvidia itself confirmed that all the tech has to work with for each…
A security engineer has “ported” one of the best known password recovery utilities to the GameBoy Advance. The port is based on Hashcat, a password recovery utility that otherwise pitches itself as the “world’s fastest.” But I’m doing the bunny ears around ‘ported’ because even the developer admits this is “not really” Hashcat in full….
It’s a little surprising there aren’t more The Elder Scrolls clones. Aside from Avowed, the only other example I can think of is Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon. It launched in May last year after a stint in early access, and the response was positive, perhaps surprisingly so, considering how tough it must be…
Less than a week after Ubisoft promised that a new Ghost Recon game is coming but probably not anytime soon, the company says it will mark the series’ 25th anniversary in August with some proper news on what’s coming next. “It’s been a while Ghosts!” the announcement excitedly states. “We know some of you saw…
It’s taken centuries of human advancement, but soulslikes and demanding third-person action games have finally reached a level of cultural proliferation where we as a society can ask the all important question: What if the dinosaurs could have simply parried the meteor? That’s the tantalizing possibility suggested by Dinoblade, a probably paleontologically accurate soulslike launching…

Arrested last week, Wilkins—alongside two unnamed co-conspirators—is accused of using the private information stolen from those infected computers to steal over $200,000 in cryptocurrency. According to…
Steam’s Train Fest has begun, meaning there are deals and discounts on lots of locomotive games, even a few brand new ones like Denshattack, which just came out this month. But when it comes to train sales there’s really only one train game to talk about: Train Simulator Classic, a sim notable for having a…
This week, Path of Exile will ditch a system that defined it for over a decade, making the action RPG considerably easier to approach for new players. The developers at Grinding Gear Games told PC Gamer that they’re questioning everything that’s sacred going forward, but apparently some things are still off the table—at least for…
It’s that time of year again: The next Call of Duty is on deck, and Activision’s got the beta dates to prove it. Modern Warfare 4 won’t hit the streets until late October, but the multiplayer beta begins a full two months ahead of time. As usual, Activision is holding two beta weekends: One for…
