Before releasing Saturday morning cartoon roguelike Mythforce, developer Beamdog made its name remastering BioWare and Black Isle RPGs like the OG Baldur’s Gates. But there was always one that got away: Icewind Dale 2. Though an official remaster remains impossible for reasons I’ll get to, modding group Red Chimera has produced their own take on…

When you first start Mob Factory, it seems like just a very simple tower defence game. There’s a hole in the ground. Worms come out of it. They follow a clearly marked path towards your castle. You set up crossbow towers, which shoot arrows at the worms, so that they die and don’t reach your…

The new Modern Warfare 3 zombies mode is a little different than its previous incarnations, and takes a fair bit of influence from Warzone 2’s DMZ. The aptly named, MWZ, is an open world version of zombies in which you drop into the Urzikstan Exclusion Zone with your squadmates and have to survive to extract. …

I chatted to Amelia Tyler earlier this week. In case you’re unfamiliar, Tyler’s the voice of Baldur’s Gate 3’s narrator, but she’s also a huge nerd and a seasoned roleplayer. While we talked about her favourite voice lines—as well as playing the Dark Urge‘s inner monologue—the conversation inevitably shifted towards pen & paper. We got…

Twitch will no longer let viewers pay their way to the top (of chat) come November 15. It’s dropping the controversial Hype Chat feature it brought in back in June this year, which allowed people to spend anywhere from $1 to $500 to get their chat messages pinned—in dazzling technicolour—to the top of a streamer’s…

GPU silly season continues with a new round of claims from serial ‘leak’ outlet Moore’s Law is Dead. This time it’s the pricing and full specs for Nvidia’s rumoured RTX 40 Super GPUs. Namely, we’re talking RTX 4080 Super, RTX 4070 Super, and the word salad that is RTX 4070 Ti Super. All of what…

Mods are one of my favourite things about PC gaming, and Baldur’s Gate 3 is no different. Give players even the slightest bit of access to your code, and they’ll create whole new games, stunning graphical overhauls, and community patches to squash bugs. Then there’s also the horrors. The latest lovecraftian nightmare to pull into…

Strategy is the quintessential PC genre, keeping us buried in maps, army lists and build orders since the earliest days of PC gaming. And it’s one of the most diverse, catering to everyone from hardcore grognards to people who just want to see Gandhi nuke Montezuma.  In this list, you’ll find everything from fast-paced, competitive…

Big damage numbers are fun, sure, but slapping a bunch of damage-over-time effects on your foes and watching them wilt has its allure too. Remnant 2‘s new archetype, the Ritualist, will let you do just that, and it’ll be arriving alongside the game’s first DLC next week. The full trailer dropped on the game’s official…

It might be strange to recall after Hitman 3’s stonking success, but series developer IO Interactive was in a very precarious situation not so long ago. When 2016’s Hitman failed to please IOI’s owners at Square Enix, the corporation began scrabbling around looking for someone to take the studio of its hands.  We know how…
