Grammy-winning British singer-songwriter Adele is currently in the middle of a multi-year Las Vegas residency at Caesars Palace. “Weekends with Adele” runs until 2024, and the idea came about after the artist found herself fed-up with the touring life but still wishing to perform in more intimate settings where she can talk to the audience…
As promised, Starfield’s big DLSS update is now live in beta testing on Steam, which means Nvidia owners can finally take advantage of the higher frame rates their GPUs are capable of. It seemed weird that Starfield did not support DLSS at launch, given that more than 80% of PC gamers have Nvidia graphics cards…
Live service games are evolving. The major multiplayer shooters of the 2010s are starting to show their age in the 2020s, leaving their stewards to answer an interesting question: How do you move a service game into the future without disrupting its active player base, or starting completely fresh? In the cases of Overwatch 2…
Age of Wonders 4, easily Triumph’s best 4X, received a meaty free update alongside its premium expansion this week. The expansion itself is pretty tantalising, introducing a new form with the Avians, the Reaver culture, new tomes and a whole lot more, but the free update feels almost as significant. The Golem update, which is…
Dario Casali, who started working at Valve in 1996, has started his own playthrough of the original 1998 Half-Life on YouTube (thanks, Gamesradar). The episodes are coming out at a blistering pace, with Chapters 1 through 8 already released, but the Chapter 1 walkthrough comes front-loaded with a fascinating glimpse into the classic’s early development….
The search for the Diablo 4 cow level is much more than a cowspiracy (apologies) at this point. IGN spoke to the game’s production developer Tiffany Wat, and associate game director Joe Piepiora at BlizzCon 2023 where hints were dropped, adding more fuel to the fire. It’s not much to go on, but Wat may…
What a wonderful year to be a soulslike fan! I’ve enjoyed hours of being beaten to death in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, Lies of P, and Lords of the Fallen. All three have interesting ideas and generally solid execution. But they also have flaws that are fast becoming tiresome soulslike staples. So here’s a wishlist…
Baldur’s Gate 3 has voiced narration—a lot of it, as I’ve personally confirmed by playing the dang thing while having the sound turned on. I recently had the pleasure of speaking to the voice behind the game’s reams and reams of narration, Amelia Tyler, earlier this week. While Tyler’s dulcet tones do stay largely consistent,…
There is quite a lot of Starfield. A gajillion planets. A crafting system I still haven’t unlocked all of. An embarrassment of cowboys. But there’s one thing it’s relatively sparse on: voice acting, specifically for the game’s main character. Starfield opted for an unvoiced player character for its space-based antics, possibly because everyone made fun…
This is what can only happen after 67 corporate Teams meetings, 208 slide deck revisions and input from at minimum 38 “stakeholders” (barf). It’s a new Alienware gaming rig with an Intel Arc A770. And it’s yours for the hilarious price of $1,949. We give you the latest Alienware Aurora R15 Gaming Desktop, from Dell….
