Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick said in a recent interview with IGN that PC has become a “much more” important part of the gaming ecosphere than it was in the past—one that generates a significant portion of sales for multiplatform games. And if you think that means he’s ready to commit to a PC version…
In a recent Bloomberg interview with Balatro creator LocalThunk, the notably private, anonymous developer opened up a little bit about the roguelike card game’s origins, including how he first realized he was on to something special with what had started as just another hobby project. LocalThunk worked in IT before making Balatro, and was apparently…
Rainbow Six: Siege esports team M80’s head coach, Matheus ‘Budega’ Figueiredo, and team manager, Igor ‘Vivas‘ Vivas, have been “ejected” from the 2025 Six Invitational by Ubisoft, following an “altercation” that was partly caught on camera. The incident occurred after M80 had lost a match 2-1 to DarkZero Esports, and saw Budega shouting at members…
If history teaches us one thing, it’s this: it’s always a great idea to invade Central Asia. It just can’t go wrong. Honestly, if this games journalism thing doesn’t work out, I’m thinking I might head over there with the lads and establish some kind of thousand-year imperium. That or back to SEO writing. Ah,…
OpenAI boss Sam Altman has been merrily blogging away about his thoughts on AGI, or Artificial General Intelligence, and there’s a lot of food for thought. A key takeaway, however, is his link between Moore’s Law, and what he perceives to be the AI equivalent. Point two of his “three observations” regarding the oncoming AGI…
The next family of cards in the new RTX Blackwell series of Nvidia GeForce GPUs is going to be an interesting one. Theoretically, the lower we go down the RTX 50-series stack, the less exciting the graphics cards look to be on paper. The generational differences in silicon look slight, and there’s a general expectation…
I like to think I’m pretty speedy when it comes to building a gaming PC, but my record is firmly in the mud. Two contestants at Newegg’s PC speed building contest at Megacon 2025 have finished with sub-five minute times, and that’s a mighty impressive feat, even if it does come with some caveats. And…
If you’re one of the 23 people around the world who has managed to snag an RTX 5090, you might be tempted to splash out on a fancy set of power cables to make your new upgrade look the best it can. That got us thinking about what set would be best to use, so…
I have a confession: I think I might like Warframe. Although in general I think of myself as a strict adherent to the singleplayer philosophy of Saint Moses of Scetis—to “sit in your cell, and your cell will teach you everything”—when it comes to videogames, I admit that’s been chipped away over the last couple…
This past weekend saw a bizarre, still largely unexplained outage of Sony’s PlayStation Network service, effectively rendering a bunch of folk unable to access digital games and online servers. As someone who moonlights as a console sicko, I’ll admit it was a real spanner in my weekend plans. It was quite frankly terrible timing, too—as…
