I’m a member of way more Discord servers than I actually engage with, and I can only put so much blame on my pathologically narrow attention span. I’d be frequenting a few more communities were it not for something I’m sure we’ve all experienced: having to share spaces with somebody whose vibes are frequently, y’know,…
The early access launch for fresh new Sims competitor Inzoi is just about six weeks away and information about its features—those coming in time for early access and those planned to be developed later—are arriving at a weekly pace now. Over the weekend we got yet more details about Inzoi’s life sim features, this time…
A new update for Civilization 7 aims to address “some player feedback” from the advanced access release of the game, and promises “larger, more substantive updates” on the way in the future. Civilization 7 doesn’t fully launch until February 11, but it’s been available since February 6 for players who ponied up for the Founders…
Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick said in a recent interview with IGN that PC has become a “much more” important part of the gaming ecosphere than it was in the past—one that generates a significant portion of sales for multiplatform games. And if you think that means he’s ready to commit to a PC version…
In a recent Bloomberg interview with Balatro creator LocalThunk, the notably private, anonymous developer opened up a little bit about the roguelike card game’s origins, including how he first realized he was on to something special with what had started as just another hobby project.

The incident occurred after M80 had lost a match 2-1 to DarkZero Esports, and saw Budega shouting at members…
If history teaches us one thing, it’s this: it’s always a great idea to invade Central Asia. It just can’t go wrong. Honestly, if this games journalism thing doesn’t work out, I’m thinking I might head over there with the lads and establish some kind of thousand-year imperium. That or back to SEO writing. Ah,…
OpenAI boss Sam Altman has been merrily blogging away about his thoughts on AGI, or Artificial General Intelligence, and there’s a lot of food for thought. A key takeaway, however, is his link between Moore’s Law, and what he perceives to be the AI equivalent. Point two of his “three observations” regarding the oncoming AGI…
The next family of cards in the new RTX Blackwell series of Nvidia GeForce GPUs is going to be an interesting one. Theoretically, the lower we go down the RTX 50-series stack, the less exciting the graphics cards look to be on paper. The generational differences in silicon look slight, and there’s a general expectation…
I like to think I’m pretty speedy when it comes to building a gaming PC, but my record is firmly in the mud. Two contestants at Newegg’s PC speed building contest at Megacon 2025 have finished with sub-five minute times, and that’s a mighty impressive feat, even if it does come with some caveats. And…
