Nobody likes game delays. Sure, a delay is temporary and suck is forever, as Gabe Newell once said, but it still chafes. But sometimes a little extra development time can go a very long way. In a new interview with the NoClip podcast, immersive sim maestro Harvey Smith shared one such story about Deus Ex,…
When a big old tree talks, I listen. He said, “I have a task of great importance,” as soon as I opened my eyes, and who was I to turn him down? “Take this note to the King, it should be a short quest,” he instructed, and although there is no king in the playtest…
What’s that sound I’m hearing? Could it be the sound of five rings? Well, no, because that’s not the kind of rings Musashi wrote about. It’s the sound of a desperate bit of wordplay constructed to lead into a post about the launch times and release date for Onimusha: War of the Sword. Musashi’s the…
Los Santos Customs I’m modding GTA 5 every day in a quest to either transform it into a PC version of GTA 6 or break it entirely. Come back tomorrow to find out what new horrible thing I’ve done to Rockstar’s baby, or check out what I got up to earlier. The problem with Grand…

Stalker 2 studio GSC Game World has joined with Ukrainian charity United24 on a new fundraising initiative that aims to raise $100,000 to help fund efforts to remove mines and other explosive devices from the real-world Chornobyl Exclusion Zone. The Zone—the real one—was established in 1986 following the disaster at the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant….
Tech tariffs imposed by the Trump administration were ruled unconstitutional back in February, though the saga is far from over. Many companies have since sought refunds, and consumers battling rising hardware prices are wondering whether they’ll see those recouped costs trickle down. Well, as far as major players Microsoft and Sony are concerned, the answer…

Today’s State of Play showed off a trailer with what we can expect to see, and there’s a lot. Like building a whole-ass castle, for…
