For gamers, one of the most alluring possibilities created by Microsoft’s finally-completed acquisition of Activision Blizzard is the prospect of games like Call of Duty, Diablo, and Overwatch on Game Pass. Microsoft’s subscription service is already a hell of a deal, and adding annualized iterations of Call of Duty plus everything Blizzard does makes it…

As much as I enjoyed unloading magazines into Warzone’s rendition of King Kong that one time, Call of Duty’s limited-time events don’t usually pique my interest until October comes around. This year is no different—Warzone’s “The Haunting” event kicked off this week and there’s a ton going on. New boss fights are littered across the…

The new soulslike Lords of the Fallen got hammered pretty hard in its first few days on Steam, primarily over complaints about its dodgy performance. For some players it’s been fine, but others encountered issues with low frame rates, stuttering, and crashes. Some people on Steam said they weren’t even able to access the main…

Railgrade isn’t the game that its trailers and store page led me to expect, and it seems that I’m not alone, given a cursory glance at its user reviews on Steam. Like so many others, I went into this railway management sim expecting something similar to Transport Tycoon, or perhaps an automation-style game in the…

Twitter owner Elon Musk has come up with a bold new plan to rid the platform of bots and attract legitimate new users: Charging new subscribers $1 per year for access. The “Not a Bot” program, as it’s known, is now in testing in New Zealand and the Philippines, where all new accounts will have…

Real-time strategy games can be pretty complex, but you generally don’t have to concern yourself too much with the economic particulars of whatever war you’re fighting. You harvest your Tiberium, your vespene gas, your minerals, and turn them by alchemy into tanks, guns, and troops. You’ve got tactics to focus on, after all, no need…

Ghosts Exposed is one of the Halloween events happening this year in GTA Online. As is traditional during the spooky season, it’s time to dive back into Los Santos to earn some suitably ghoulish goodies. This time around, you’ll be hunting down ghosts, and taking photos to send as proof so you can reap the…

Sick of the sight of your keyboard? Well, you won’t be with the new Drop CSTM80 thanks to its novel quick-swap top case. The CSTM80 is a tenkeyless board with a magnetic top case allowing for super-swift swaps. Simply pull the top case off and drop a different one on for a pretty comprehensive change…

The Ghost Train is one of the new spooktacular bosses that was added to Warzone 2 as part of The Haunting event. This year, you’ll be hunting hellish monstrosities, from familiar faces like Diablo’s Butcher, to, yes, a literal train. Your objective isn’t to destroy this one, though. Instead, you’ll be infiltrating Fire and Brimstone—solid…

A Runescape player asked the Old School RuneScape (OSRS) subreddit what should have been a very simple, straightforward question (thanks, GamesRadar). Being the internet, they sure didn’t give them a simple or straightforward answer. “My cousin stole my Kodai Wand. How can I ask for it back without starting family drama?” asks user MethIsntCool. Anyway,…
