If you’ve been with us for a while, you may recall that it was kind of a big deal when Capcom announced that Monster Hunter World was coming to PC. (Alas, poor Dauntless.) We had to wait a little longer for it than our console pals, but when it finally showed up it turned out…
Every time I think I’ve mastered a handful of new perks and patch changes, another Dead by Daylight update gets me right in the gut with more Survivor-Killer combos. The horror hall of fame showdown typically introduces two Killers and four Survivors every year, along with its usual events and chapter progression. Even with a…
Four months after they were unceremoniously delisted, Roll7’s stylish skate games Rollerdrome and OlliOlli World are both back on Steam. Rollerdrome and OlliOlli World were removed from Steam in February, a move we assumed at the time was the result of the Private Division drama at Take-Two Interactive: After some extended cuteness and difficulty following…
Head to the URL starwarsweb.net and you may be somewhat surprised to find yourself on the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) homepage. But check it out on the Wayback Machine in December 2010, which is when it first appeared, and you’ll find what looks to be a fairly standard Star Wars fanpage. There’s a kid with…
We’ve come a long way with liquid coolers. The first generation was known for being loud and at risk of causing a puddle in your PC. While the latter is a slightly unfair reading of the upcoming tech at the time—a leak was uncommon and my ancient Corsair H100i is still going strong—the first part…
Two months in, Assassin’s Creed Shadows continues to trundle along quietly in the videogame background, presumably quite pleased with itself for pulling in a bunch of players and making such good use of its delays that Ubisoft now wants to delay a whole bunch of other stuff. The game’s 1.0.5 patch released today, bringing a…
Cache co-creator Shawn “FMPHONE” Snelling has announced that Valve has bought the map outright, following its addition to the CS2 Workshop in early March, and a mention in the background of the game’s latest update. Responding to player Aqua saying “this pretty much confirms that Valve bought Cache,” FMPHONE confirmed the news: “Thank you for…
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is, as far as JRPGs go, relatively short. Not too short, mind—if you want to throw yourself into its endgame challenges, you’ll be spending about 60 hours, and there’s always New Game+ if you want to do the whole thing over again. Given Sandfall Interactive’s team size (around 30, not counting…
Platformers are a tricky thing to iterate on. Given they’re one of the older genres in the medium, and there are only so many ways to play with the idea of ‘jump over platforms, sometimes fast’—it can be hard to come up with something that feels fresh. Aureole – Wings of Hope, by Team Stargazers,…
Here are the two things I know about PlayStation lead systems architect Mark Cerny: He wants to see my ears. He has the euphonious voice of the seraphim. Seriously, try listening to the guy talk without falling asleep. Well, today we can add a third entry to that list: he is better than me at…
