Hey, you! Don’t just stand there half-naked with your stomach growling. Grab a stick, pick up a rock, craft a rope from whatever the heck “plant fiber” is, and combine them to make your first crude axe. Then chop down some trees, build a mech suit (I may have skipped a few steps), climb in,…

Yesterday seems like forever ago now, doesn’t it? Or that could just be the jet lag ruining my sense of time. Anyway, apparently we had an Nvidia keynote, and apparently the RTX 50-series GPUs were finally unveiled. I seemed to have a whale of a time, as I wrote an article dedicated to nerding out…

I’m dumped into a randomised dungeon and expected to fend for myself using nothing more than whatever I find lying around on the floor, the stairs to the next…

Gaze at the mountain of multiplayer shooters and tremble. I’ve long maintained that we’re in a multiplayer golden age—there have never been more and better shooters to choose from than we have right now, and most of them can be enjoyed entirely for free. If only anyone had the time. If I had to describe…
Games are only ever getting more expensive to make. It’s a truth noted by game developers, called a “death sentence” by former publishing chairmen, and conveniently cited by studio executives as they explain why they need to lay off another 200 employees. Despite the universal agreement that game development costs are rising, we rarely see…
Mark Zuckerberg says social media platforms Facebook and Instagram are going to “get back to our roots” by removing fact checkers and replacing them with a “Community Notes” system modelled after the one used by Elon Musk’s X.
