Just when you thought Marvel Rivals’ competitive balancing couldn’t get any worse, a new system to throw games turns up. Incentivised throwing is the name, and ruining people’s win streaks is its game. Third party websites popped up with the sole purpose of placing bounties on players’ heads. The intention being that if people find…

Growing up, I always thought that I’d make a good medieval doctor; I’m not squeamish around blood, and I’m pretty handy with a butcher’s knife. It was just an inkling, though. But after playing only an hour of Bloodletter, I now know that this is what I was put on this earth to do. Stranded…

Arc Raiders is undeniably a one-of-a-kind extraction shooter, finally bringing the niche, hardcore genre to the masses. And while its retro-futuristic aesthetic, reminiscent of Fallout, is a joy to wage war pr make life-long friends in, the same can’t be said for its cast of quest givers. Try to think of any characteristic or personality…

I was working the gas pumps one day, many years ago, when a guy rolled in and said, “Fill ‘er up.” So I said “Okay,” and filled ‘er up. I found out later that the car in question—a Mercedes, I think—required diesel fuel, and I had filled it full of unleaded. That was a bad…

Following a report from an independent analyst, one crypto thief has reportedly been caught by the FBI after $46 million went missing from the US Marshals. The accused is the son of a government contractor, who worked for the US Marshals previously. Kash Patel, the director of the FBI, originally took to X to declare…

Earlier this week, the Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) published a report on an exploit kit specifically targeting older Apple iPhones. Those with an up-to-date iOS may only feel momentarily smug as it turns out the kit, called Coruna, can sink its hooks into a wide range of phones—though the malicious range of this exploit…

A lot of the discussion around Marathon has been its emphasis on PvP. It couldn’t be more polar opposite to Arc Raiders, where most matches feel like friendly walks in the park as everyone puts down their weapons and starts collecting mushrooms, toasters, and whatever else in unison. If you see another player on Tau…

By inexplicable coincidence, the best videogames ever all seemed to come out when I was between the ages of 10 and 13. KOTOR, Oblivion—the list goes on. Scientists are presumably trying to figure out just what was in the water during that period, leading as it did to, objectively, the bestest and most important games…

At the risk of being known as even more of a dork around these parts, I am now going to publicly admit that I have long fantasised about living near a big mouse and mouse pad testing facility. I’m in possession of enough mice and pads now that I could probably recreate that myself, but…

Once you complete Order/Chaos for MIDA in Marathon, Gantry will give you the Protect/Destroy contract, which has five steps. In the trickiest one, Protect/Destroy 3, you need to tag marked locations across Dire Marsh. In other words, paint some MIDA propaganda to spite Orion. Your artistic ability aside, tagging the marked locations is one of…
