Last week Bungie was accused of using the designs of an independent artist, Antireal, without her knowledge or permission. It’s a pretty cut-and-dry case: elements of Marathon’s environment art unquestionably copy iconography from posters designed by Antireal in 2017. It didn’t help that several of the game’s art team also follow her accounts on social…

It was nary a week ago that I came to you with news that a modder named ColdTyrant had ginned up a system to keep Oblivion Remastered’s Dark Brotherhood keep going forever: bolting on a whole Hitman Freelancer-esque contracts mode with an accompanying gacha rewards system. It was cool as heck, and is now old…

In the spirit of a technology developed by AI company Anthropic, Microsoft sees the future of AI where there are lots of different systems, created by lots of different companies, all working together, in peace and harmony. Or to put it in the same words that Microsoft used, create an “agentic web”. That’s according to…

I do not typically recommend completely tanking a city’s economy, potentially ruining the lives of all of its citizens and being heralded as a complete idiot, as a way to learn a valuable lesson. But this is exactly what happened to me in Anno 117: Pax Romana, and I came out the other side really…

No one likes the ‘um, actually’ guy. Whatever momentary high an um-actually-arsehole gets from jumping on a technicality in an off-the-cuff remark is either completely drowned out, or worse, strengthened by the resulting collective groan. Unfortunately, today, I’m going to be the ‘um, actually’ guy. My target? Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang—this can only end well…

There is, as ever, a lot going on in the world of Hideo Kojima. In an interview published in a recent issue of French film magazine Le Film Français, Kojima spoke about his ongoing projects (via VGC): There’s Death Stranding 2. There’s the Death Stranding film adaptation in production at A24. And of course, there’s…

One Oblivion Remastered player has gone to extreme lengths to keep one rather murderous NPC alive: and in the end managed to fix things so not only did Glarthir take care of all his tormentors, but massacred half the town’s guards too, and got away with the entire thing. The NPC in question is a…

President Trump called April 2, 2025 ‘Liberation Day’, due to the announcement of ‘reciprocal’ tariffs against other countries. Since then, there’s been lots of uncertainty and back-and-forth over what’s being tariffed and by how much. That’s already had a knock-on effect on the PC gaming hardware industry, which relies heavily on global supply chains, from…

We’ve been doing this PC gaming thing for ages now. Yonks. I was definitely doing it, like, in January even. And yet despite our platform of choice’s long and glorious reign, people still look at you funny when you tell them you built your own PC. ‘Are you a warlock?’ they ask, ‘some kind of…

Chapter 15‘s Cosmic Realm is a mind-bending location that sends you round in circles, which makes finding all of the City of Ry’uul secrets a bit of a pain. Though far from the largest level in Doom: The Dark Ages, its several separate maps make it hard to figure out exactly when you’re able to…
