Razer’s Naga series has always been a bit eye-catching. Slapping tens of buttons on a gaming mouse will naturally make it stand out in the looks department, but having owned two Nagas in my lifetime, I can see it only really takes an evening to get why people love ’em. MMOs are notorious for demanding…
In a PlayStation State of Play video today, Phantom Blade Zero developer S-Game has finally shown off glimpses of a game world it’s largely kept secret up to this point, with eight individual maps that “seamlessly connect into a single world.” In my demos of the game over the last year and a half, S-Game…
Blizzard principal artist and lead designer Jay Huang used to make his living creating the “props” that make up World of Warcraft’s living spaces. Now he designs the systems that allow players to do the same thing with WoW’s new player housing feature. The game’s recent patch 12.1, The Curse of Ula’tek, added a huge…
In a recent video on his YouTube channel, legendary developer Tim Cain weighed in on one of the great RPG debates: Turn-based, or real time? But Cain doesn’t see it as a zero sum game, instead staking out a sensible, radical moderate position on a topic that can prompt forum knife fights. One unique aspect…
Bethesda Game Studios is warning owners of Fallout 4 to either log into a save or manually save their mod load order, because a new patch “focusing on general Creations improvements” is incoming.

It’s the sort of victory lap / “Gentlemen, to money!” deal you usually expect of the form, and I cannot overstate how…
10 billion hours in RobloxToy company Mattel is getting into the videogame business with the launch of Mattel Game Studios, which it says “will develop, publish, and operate original interactive experiences inspired by Mattel’s portfolio of iconic brands.” But the approach it’s taking to that task is rather different from what we’ve seen in the…
Well, we’ve been hornswoggled again. They did it. They’re doing it. Rockstar is, as we speak, putting the finishing touches on Grand Theft Auto 6, the Final Videogame, but icing you and me out entirely. No Xbox or PlayStation? Enjoy pressing your nose against the glass of your console-owning neighbours as they find themselves delighted…
Last month we got word that Jennifer English, star of Baldur’s Gate 3 and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, would be stepping down from her lead role in the upcoming Tides of Annihilation. Now, fans think they’ve figured out who her replacement is: Angela Sant’Albano, known for playing Grace Ashcroft in Resident Evil Requiem. This is…
