Slack, the cloud-based chat platform used by individuals and companies around the world to communicate, collaborate, and say “holy shit” to each other when interesting or stupid things happen, is down. And yes, for those of you who, like us, use Slack for professional purposes, that means nobody’s watching and you can now safely make…
Yesterday, Warner Bros announced it was closing Monolith Productions in a “strategic change of direction”. A studio with a 30-year legacy, Monolith’s games include Blood, No One Lives Forever, Tron 2.0, Condemned: Criminal Origins, and more recently its excellent Middle-earth tie-ins Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War, which introduced the remarkable Nemesis System. Amid…
The Nvidia RTX 50-series has been hobbled by all kinds of problems, least of which being low stocks and resultant high prices. So when there was talk of missing ROPs in some of the new GPUs, it seemed like little more than nasty icing on an under-baked cake. However, if what founder and CEO of…
I suspect not many videogames have officially licensed fungus, but it certainly makes sense for Avowed, an RPG where you spend 50 hours in the shoes of a hero who has mushrooms growing out of their face. Thanks to a company called North Spore, you can now own your own little piece of the Dreamscourge,…
The autobattler’s been getting chimeric since Vampire Survivors released and plunged global productivity down the toilet. VS was a chaotic slot machine: you didn’t so much craft a build as you did keep pulling the lever and hope you could assemble something vaguely effective from what it spits out, which kept me occupied for weeks….
You know the deal, it’s Yeston, so prepare for something… special, and possibly a little outrageous. The company that brought us the genuinely very inspired ‘Cute Pet’ graphics card design (see the third image in the gallery further down) has certainly gone for ‘outrageous’ this time with its advertisement for an upcoming RX 9070 XT…
I’m a little staggered that I hadn’t heard of Shape of Dreams before—while it has updated and promoted its demo for Next Fest, it’s actually had a “prologue” available for a while, which has essentially been a sort of open alpha test for its devs. Click on that link, and you’ll find that while its…
Ella Purnell has doubled up with videogame TV series in the last few years, starring in both Arcane as Jinx and Amazon’s Fallout show as Lucy MacLean. Obviously the main commonality between the two is that they both take inspiration from popular videogames—League of Legends and Fallout, but another smaller link is that Purnell has…
Beautifully realistic life sim Inzoi is nearly here and we’re learning more every week about features as its game director Hyungjun Kim shares plans with fans. In a recent interview from the newest issue of the PC Gamer magazine, Kim goes even deeper into one of its less realistic elements, the karma system, where things…
World of Warcraft, in case you haven’t been keeping tabs since the mass exoduses of Shadowlands, has been on a bit of a self improvement kick lately. It hasn’t all been roses, mind, but as an occasional dabbler, I’m feeling downright positive about the overall shift away from borrowed power systems and into things the…
