Last week I drove down to a fancy studio lot in Los Angeles to play Fortnite. “Play Fortnite” isn’t a very descriptive phrase these days, as the battle royale has long since evolved into a platform with numerous games under the official Epic banner, plus thousands more community-made modes. What I was there to see…
VA-11 Hall-A developer Sukeban Games unveiled a new trailer for its second game, .45 Parabellum Bloodhound, last week. We got a few more story and gameplay snippets from the anime-style action game, as well as a release window of this summer, just in time for VA-11 Hall-A’s 10-year anniversary on June 21. The explosively popular…
EVE Online developer CCP Games has announced the winners of its latest hackathon to build mods and third party tools for its blockchain-based survival MMO, EVE Frontier. The winner, CradleOS, took home $25,000 for its in-game civilization-building tool, with a remaining $55,000 split among other winners. Blockchain’s still a dirty word for me, but EVE…
I’ve never read Invincible, but through playing the acclaimed comic’s new licensed fighting game, I feel I’ve gotten to know its characters inside and out. I don’t say that because I know any more about them than when I started, but because it’s pretty easy in this game to punch people into showers of gore….
Microsoft released its Q3 FY26 earnings report yesterday, and the news on the Xbox is not entirely sunshine and lollipops. The company ate a 7% ($380 million) decrease in gaming revenue in the quarter, driven by a 5% year-over-year decline in Xbox content and services revenue and a 33% drop in Xbox hardware revenue. That’s…
The ongoing Musk v. Altman lawsuit has seen the release of various internal emails relating to OpenAI, which for now are mostly focused on the early years of the company’s founding, over roughly the period 2016-2020. OpenAI wasn’t nearly as prominent as it would later become, but one of the surprising elements is the involvement…
There’s an oddly momentous feeling to the idea of Deep Rock Galactic Survivor introducing a new class to the DRG universe. After all, the original four have been the only ones we needed for eight years now. What can you possibly add to a quartet that’s stood the test of time for that long? I…
I liked Atomfall quite a lot, especially after I stopped trying to play it like British Fallout and treated it as a linear survival-shooter instead. It was also the most successful game launch in Rebellion’s history, which is not nothing given that the company has been around for more than 30 years. Even so, I…
Water Filters are yet another item that you need to grab for the Avian Alarm project in Arc Raiders and have basically no purpose normally. Sure, you could recycle them or sell them, but it’s really not worth the hassle. Now, however, you need to donate three of them to your bird sanctuary, and you’re…
Everyone knows where to go to find lemons, apricots, and olives in Arc Raiders by now. That would be Blue Gate’s Olive Grove. But what about Agave? Like Prickly Pears, this plant feels much harder to pinpoint and find consistently. That’s annoying because you need eight of these prickly plants to donate to the new…
