I wasn’t sure what to expect from my GDC 2025 preview appointment for Honor of Kings: World. It’s an upcoming action RPG MMO, a spinoff of Tencent’s mobile MOBA Honor of Kings—a game I’ve never played and rarely see mentioned in western games media, despite it being one of the best-grossing games of all time…
The Steam concurrents record for 25-year-old Valve game Ricochet has been blown out of the water by a group of players brought together by Half-Life fansite LambdaGeneration. Valve has made some of the most influential games of all time, but Ricochet probably can’t be put in that category. The arena combat game is best-known today…
Today sees the publication of Henk Rogers’ memoir, The Perfect Game—Tetris: From Russia With Love. Rogers has had a long and storied career in the games industry, but he will undoubtedly always be best-known for his association with Tetris, and in particular his leading role in extricating it from the Soviet bureaucracy and getting the…

The mech battler from World of Tanks developer Wargaming releases in early access on Steam this week, on April 2. I played a demo of Steel…
Schedule 1 is all about slowly climbing your way to the top of Hyland Point’s criminal underground, but there’s a lot of busy work along the way. There’s a long list of Schedule 1 console commands and cheats that can help you skip the tedious parts of the simulated drug business and focus on the…
Drug-dealer simulator Schedule 1 is as popular as Walter White’s blue meth in Breaking Bad, but it’s also in early access, which means there are plenty of new features and additions to the game to look forward to. To get a hint of what’s to come, I checked out the development roadmap, and there’s a…
Remember that brief moment immediately after Inzoi’s release when we could turn children into tire pizza? Good times. Krafton quickly patched out that little oversight, but it turns out that David Carradine cosplay wasn’t the only way young ‘uns could check out early, so now developers have done something about that too. Today’s new hotfix,…
Crumbs in the socket, nothing to see here. So, said ASRock last week in a blog post addressing reports of dead AMD Ryzen 9000 chips in its motherboards. But does that really fly in the context of getting on for 100 Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPUs said to have died in ASRock boards? To be more…
