Logitech G Pro X TKL Rapid review

With the Logitech G Pro X TKL Rapid coming with both Logic’s first attempt at rapid trigger and its own SOCD tech, its focus is very clear: This wants to be the cutting edge, even if that edge was dulled by SOCDs’ banning in Counter-Strike in the latter half of last year. Logitech’s version of…

A not-so-subtle tease suggests Games Workshop is finally bringing Total War: Warhammer 3’s Grand Cathay army to the tabletop wargame

One of the interesting quirks of 2022’s Total War: Warhammer 3 is that it featured two major armies that never actually existed in the tabletop game Warhammer Fantasy.

If you’d ask me, I’d say Sony’s very well and truly felt the sting of Concord’s flop, given it’s slowly been shutting down other live service projects—despite the successes of Helldivers 2, though it’s not as if the company hasn’t endured some hits regarding its handling of the game, to say the very least.

Ancient Egyptian horror game Amenti had everything lined up to make it a stellar scarefest—except it forgot to include some actual horror

Horror games don’t have to be action-packed thrillers to be fun. Some of my favourites (or least favourite, depending on how you look at it) have been quiet journeys full of tension and anticipation with minimal fights—games like Amnesia: The Bunker or Little Nightmares. But there is a line between a psychological horror game and…
