Everyone has a price. Maybe it’s $100, maybe it’s $1,000, maybe it’s for someone to see your innate value as a human being, or maybe it’s $1,000,000. Popular streamer TimTheTatman recently revealed what it would take to get him to go back to Arc Raiders, and spoilers, it’s not the third option. There was apparently…
Curse of Strahd is one of the most popular D&D modules for a reason—it’s actually really compelling. Set in the misty, cursed lands of Barovia, Curse of Strahd is dominated by the titular Strahd von Zarovich, a vampire lord with a tragic backstory and a propensity for showing up at random intervals to give you…
PC gaming has always been an expensive hobby, but prices have become downright ridiculous as of late. It’s bad enough that Nvidia’s RTX 50-series cards cost slightly less than an international flight, but the memory supply crisis is also driving up the price of RAM and SSDs. Now it looks like motherboards might be next…
Silent Hill has gone international. Last year we went to Japan in Silent Hill f, and now the series is off to Scotland in Silent Hill: Townfall. As a middle-aged Scot who still remembers the ’90s, when Townfall takes place, I was simultaneously nervous and excited about the rare opportunity to play a game that’s…
Last week, in the wake of a rash of developer hardware thefts at this year’s Gamescom, the event’s organizers provoked a wave of outcry by publishing a statement that many perceived as callously placing the blame on exhibitors who hadn’t adequately insured their equipment. Today, Gamescom released an additional statement on X, admitting that its…
Making a live service game these days feels like trying to shoot an arrow at a flea while blindfolded. Striking gold with a hot new shooter or other team-based multiplayer game with a quirky twist seems like an exercise in futility, but that isn’t stopping developers and publishers from trying to be the next big…
As I’m making my way through the beginning of two-player co-op adventure Age Twisters alongside the founders of developer Piccolo Studios, I’m told the goal was to create a game that evokes the same feelings as watching a Pixar movie with your child. Now I am admittedly sprogless, but it wasn’t difficult to latch onto…
If you happen to pick up a copy of NBA 2K27, in your eagerness to try out the first official implementation of Nvidia’s DLSS 5 AI image tech, you won’t find it labelled as such in the settings menu. Instead, it appears as a simple on/off toggle under the label “DLSS Neural Rendering.” And while…
Onimusha: Way of the Sword is the latest victim of the dreaded AAA videogame disease: Padded Runtime Via Unsatisfying Upgrade Materials. It could be a lot worse: thankfully there’s no level gating in Onimusha that requires you to accrue an arbitrary set of stats before you can tackle a particular quest. It’s not an RPG,…
If there’s one thing you should never underestimate, it’s a gamer’s love for completing little tasks. Whether it’s battle passes, meaningless fetch quests, or in Arc Raiders’ case, its expeditions. There’s just the right amount of dopamine involved for a neuron activation, so you best bet that they’ll rip through them at an unthinkable speed….
