Thanks to Helldivers 2’s ongoing server issues and broken matchmaking, I’m yet to see even a single online stranger drop onto my planet. Most of the time I just play with friends anyway, but recently I’ve had the itch to play when none of them are around, and what I’ve discovered is that diving solo…
The Bard has a reputation in Dungeons & Dragons at-large, let alone Baldur’s Gate 3. Stereotypes would tell you that it’s a class for silly little guys, only played by those with a penchant for seducing dragons and getting themselves into trouble. Sure, they’re not immune to becoming badasses—like one Scanlan Shorthalt from Critical Role—but…
As AI continues to dominate the conversation in just about every space you can think of, a repeated question has emerged: How do we go about controlling this new technology? According to a paper from the University of Cambridge the answer may lie in numerous methods, including built in kill switches and remote lockouts built…

Now it’s planning “more content” and “more…

Dave James, Managing Editor Hardware (Image credit: Future) This month I have been mostly testing… handhelds and laptops: I’ve been going mobile with my gaming recently, checking out new handhelds, with new chips inside, and shiny new laptops, too. The OneXPlayer 2 Pro wasn’t super-exciting, but I’ve also got the Meteor Lake-powered OneXPlayer X1 in…
Today is apparently Bruce Wayne’s birthday, but I’m ashamed to say I’ve neglected to send him a gift. It’d be hard enough thinking about what to get a real billionaire for their anniversary, let alone one that doesn’t exist. Fortunately, Warner Bros and Valve have found another way to mark this special occasion that I…
With Cyberpunk 2077’s redemption arc firmly in the rear-view mirror, CD Projekt Red is now full throttle on three separate projects. We already know, more or less, what two of them are: One is a new trilogy of Witcher games codenamed Polaris, and the other is a Cyberpunk sequel codenamed Orion. But one mysterious star-themed…
