Eric Barone has a problem: He wants to make his new game, Haunted Chocolatier, but he also has a deep love for his indie mega-hit Stardew Valley—and, more to the point, a seeming inability to stop working on it. It’s a tough spot alright, one he’s talked about before, but speaking to PC Gamer’s Wes…

Large-scale PvP warfare leads to some of the best stories in gaming, but it takes a certain level of dedication to participate in something like war MMO Foxhole (in which players once fought for 48 hours straight and built “a religion around a corpse pile”), and getting involved in EVE Online’s shenanigans is a lifestyle…

While we’ve become all too accustomed to a classic game delay, it’s rare that we see a game yaled. Y’know, undelayed. Hastened. Advanced. Okay, I’m putting my thesaurus away to tell you that Gearbox just revealed that it’ll be bringing Borderlands 4’s release date forward by an entire week and a half. That’s taken the…

In late March the news broke that four Korean companies were competing to pitch for the StarCraft license from Blizzard. NCSoft, Nexon, Netmarble, and Krafton are all absolute giants and, attracted by StarCraft’s long and storied history in South Korea, were pitching everything from an MMO to a mobile game as a continuation of the…

To absolutely no one’s surprise, A Minecraft Movie is still performing well at the box office, like really well, over $816 million well. While it may be the most marketable thing I’ve ever come across in my life, props where it’s due, as it looks like A Minecraft Movie will be able to contest the…

In all the maddening volatility of the triple-T era (Trump, Tariffs, Trade war) I have been surprised by just how resilient and stable the laptop market has been. At least so far, anyways. Sure, Razer panicked and pulled down pre-orders temporarily for its new Blade laptops because of the Orange One’s fiscal foibles, but it’s…

Thanks to bots, scalpers, and even more bots, companies have been implementing strange ways to get GPUs into the hands of enthusiasts over the last few months. We’ve seen lotteries to ‘win’ the chance at purchasing cards, we’ve seen customers buying returned GPUs to beat the scalping market, and we’ve seen potential customers purchasing RTX…

When it comes to turn-based tactics, there’s still one undisputed king of the genre: XCOM. If you’ve never experienced its brand of tense, alien-killing strategy before—or if there’s a game or two in the series you skipped—then the good news is that today is a very cheap day to catch up. Humble Bundle’s new XCOM…

If we can all agree that 8 GB ain’t cutting it in 2025 for a proper gaming graphics card and even 12 GB is becoming marginal in the most demanding titles, how to solve that pesky VRAM anxiety for the long term? Well, there’s a rumoured RTX 5070 Super with 18 GB. But why not…

Marvel Contest of Champions, a free-to-play mobile fighting game first released in 2014, is bringing a roster of over 300 Marvel superheroes and villains to PC. Surely that is too many Marvel people for a fighting game, I thought. But then I clicked through all 19 pages of Champion spotlights on the official site, and…
