As is not unusual among folks of a certain age, it’s hard not to wonder about the effects of unfettered internet access on my impressionable younger self. Ah well, back to doomscrolling and staring into the vast content pit it is. Wait, what was I doing? Oh, yes, the news! Earlier this week Texas governor…
Elden Ring Nightreign is FromSoft’s experiment to see how players tolerate a Soulslike’s worth of punishment when it’s packed into a repeatable roguelike format, and the experiment is almost ready to commence. On Thursday, May 29, squads of nightfarers will be unleashed for co-op boss killing, and you’ll need to know exactly when Nightreign unlocks…
Quality Assurance in games is one of the most underrated parts of game development. These departments usually employ people to go over games with a fine toothed comb making sure everything works correctly. But, due to the ever more complex nature of gaming, this can often be incredibly tedious work, even if you genuinely love…
The opening seconds of the trailer sold me on the whole enterprise. It’s the unforgettable scene from the start of Half-Life 2 where a Combine cop tells Gordon Freeman to pick up a piece of trash. Only you’re not playing Gordon Freeman in this scenario. You’re playing the Scout from Team Fortress 2, a man…

Unfortunately, with modern technology we don’t really have a…
We’ve had a TMNT sidescrolling beat-em-up, a TMNT turn-based tactics RPG, and a TMNT Hades clone with co-op. They’re even in Call of Duty, if you can afford to fork out like $90. It’s a good time to be into the Ninja Turtles, whether or not you believe 2025 is the year of the ninja….
One of the best looking prebuilt compact PCs is back, with the new Corsair One i600 PC. This new mini-beast looks a lot like last year’s Corsair One i500 PC with a beautiful toned down appearance, and hard hitting specs. And of course, a price tag to match. The new Corsair One i600 follows in…
Morrowind came out in 2002, the same year as isometric RPGs like Icewind Dale 2, Divine Divinity, Freedom Force, and Dungeon Siege. Its first-person/third-person perspective was a selling point at the time, though some would argue that playing a full 3D game with randomized to-hit chances made for an unsatisfying experience. Nowadays, thanks to the…
There’s a clue for the May 29 (1440) Wordle right here if you find yourself in need of a nudge. Have a read right now and give your first line a huge boost, or save it for later if you like, there if you need a helping hand. We’ve got today’s answer ready to read…
Few games commit to building an alternate reality like Vice Undercover. Much of the game is played on the fictitious Amigo OS, an amalgam of Windows 3.1 and early Apple operating systems with a dozen built-in applications, a boxy media player, and even a persistent Clippy pastiche with all sorts of eager advice for you….
