Founded on February 1, 1991, id Software is responsible for the creation of Doom, Quake, and it picked up the mantle of the Wolfenstein series with Wolfenstein 3D. To celebrate the company’s 35-year anniversary, and a day late, John Carmack has posted a video to X reflecting on how things have changed. “Every day that…
Competitive gaming gear often isn’t all that exciting. That’s because, like the ill-fated switch to Dvorak or Colemak (if you had to Google that, it proves my point), players get used to a certain standard. You can’t push the boat out too much or overcommit to a single selling point. Most competitive players simply want…
I had heard of the elusive Arc Raiders Bird City event. I’d seen pictures of it included in the Headwinds update, heard the tales of raiders dropping heaps of rare rubber ducks in dark alleyways, but I hadn’t actually seen the event live for myself until today. The Bird City map event adds more birds…
Here’s a list of things the ZX Spectrum is better at than me. One, maths. Two, being an iconic retro computer. And three, landing on the Mun in Kerbal Space Program, apparently. YouTuber and KSP extraordinaire Scott Manley has taken to X to show off his latest achievement, using the 43-year-old device to control a…
Tekken 8’s second season has not been the most successful for Bandai Namco. The promise of a stronger emphasis on defensive play somehow manifested itself as even more offense and aggression, and has left a good chunk of players begging since last April for something to change. Well, now that the 2025 Tekken World Tour…
We’re still in a relatively ‘slow’ period for new releases, but February is when our list of upcoming 2026 games starts tossing in a few heavy hitters like Nioh 3 and Resident Evil Requiem. It’s not busy compared to years prior, sure, but I’m thankful for the free time when I look ahead at the…
It’s been five years since Valheim revitalized the survival craft genre. At the time I remember thinking “why would anyone want to play a new game in this style when there’s already Minecraft, Ark and Rust?”. With the benefit of hindsight I know that two things worked in Valheim’s favour. One was its clever finetuning…
Last month Bloober Team, the horror studio responsible for the Silent Hill 2 Remake and The Medium, posted a teaser for an unannounced project. The teaser featured an illustration of a rose, leading some brilliant internet sleuths to deduce that it must surely point to a remake of the cult 2006 survival horror Rule of…
Larian is currently offering a Divinity franchise sale on Steam, with markdowns of 75-90% off for each game. If you’re grabbing all six Divinity games together, it’ll only cost you $23 for 17 years and hundreds of hours of RPG from the studio that made Baldur’s Gate 3. Just don’t grab the Divinity: Original Sin…
The Fallout TV series is a bonafide hit, and Season 2, if anything, is even more highly regarded by both critics and fans than Season 1. So, wouldn’t it make sense for Bethesda to make lightning strike twice? People love Skyrim even more than Fallout, so shouldn’t Bethesda try to turn The Elder Scrolls into…
