There are few bigger franchises in the games industry than Warcraft. From an RTS that ushered in Blizzard as a game industry powerhouse to one of the world’s most dominant and enduring MMOs, with various sequels, spinoffs, and multimedia crossovers along the way, Warcraft has grown over the past 30-plus years into one of the…
There was a bit of a blowup in January when GOG forum users noticed a sale banner that appeared to be AI generated. In response to the initial allegations, forum member KosmicznaPluskwa, whose avatar indicates they’re a senior graphics designer and member of the GOG team, confirmed that the banner “is fully AI,” although they…
Super Earth’s greatest nemesis has penetrated the network. In what appears to be a widespread hack carried out by the socialist Automatons, official Helldivers 2 social media channels and its Discord server have been inundated with cryptic binary communications. Only through cunning codebreaking skills (googling a binary translator) were we able to decode the messages….
The last few years have seen more videogame developers unionising in an effort to ensure the industry offers sustainable careers for all, and the quality assurance workers of Blizzard have just secured a huge win by ratifying a contract with parent company Microsoft. As reported by Game Developer, QA workers at Blizzard’s Albany and Austin…
As a tank main, it’s always a good day when we get a new frontliner in Overwatch, and Domina is certainly a great addition to the roster. With a large shield, plenty of zone-controlling capabilities, and a railgun pistol, she’s more than a rival to the long-reigning Sigma. Domina is one of five new heroes…
We’ve all been wanting a cat with a jetpack in Overwatch for a long time, but I can’t say I ever expected it to actually happen, even though there’s a monkey scientist and a hamster mechanic. Aptly named Jetpack Cat, this new support hero uses a flying mech to dish out heals and cart people…
I love Fallout, but we haven’t had a new Fallout videogame in quite some time. Sure, I could go and replay Fallout 3—the best one—but why go to the Wasteland when you can bring the Wasteland to you? That’s what realgrillgamer thought (I assume) when they made their very own Fallout Vault in The Sims…
What noise do you think a concrete keyboard makes? I’m not sure, but I may be about to find out, as Keychron is about to launch a wireless, magnetic-switched model with a “full concrete body”. The Keychron K2 HE Concrete Edition looks very much like a regular, off-white coloured keeb, but the company sure has…
There’s a tradeoff that comes with gaming headsets that are labelled ‘lightweight’ or ‘breathable’. In order to get those low weights, they often have to do away with some of the rigidity you might traditionally expect, and this can lead to them feeling flimsy. Logitech’s G522 Lightspeed is almost certainly a lightweight breathable headset, but…
I’m writing about cryptocurrency again, which means bitcoin’s either gone massively up in value, or it’s in the middle of a, err, “significant downturn.” Well whaddaya know, it’s the latter. The world’s most headline-friendly cryptocurrency dropped in value below $70,000 per coin on Thursday for the first time since 2024, with its losses overall this…
