Marathon‘s Cryo Archive is a maze, made only more complicated to navigate by the fact that you need Security Clearance to access most areas. It’s a system unique to this endgame map, and it’s not immediately obvious what it is and how to increase it. But if you want to extract from the ship in…
It’s fine and dandy loading into Cryo Archive in Marathon and looting it for all its worth—seriously, there’s high-end loot everywhere—but you actually need to escape for it to count. The Cryo Archive extract system functions very differently from the other maps, where you casually stroll on over to an exfil beacon and beam outta…
Sand: Raiders of Sophie, the PvPvE extraction shooter where you build and drive huge stompy mechanical bases around on a desert planet, “will not be releasing this March” as planned, developer Hologryph announced today. “It’s been a difficult few months for us here in Ukraine,” the developer wrote in a Steam post, “with frequent severe…
Back in February, Larian rolled out a small update for Baldur’s Gate 3 that aimed to fix a few crashes, technical issues, and in particular, corrupted saves. And it worked! Except, well, it apparently also broke a few things along the way. So you know what that means: A new hotfix to fix the old…
The premise of Pragmata may seem utterly unfathomable right now so I’ll try and break it down for you: an evil AI takes over a lunar research station, and being evil, it tries to eradicate our human protagonist Hugh and his android companion Diana. Ok, that’s actually pretty fathomable right now. Funnily enough, the hardest…
More than a year after the launch of Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl, the first official story expansion has been revealed as Cost of Hope, “a new chapter of a well-known conflict” between Duty and Freedom, two of the Exclusion Zone’s most powerful factions. Duty and Freedom hold directly opposing views—Duty believes the Zone must…
Devolver Digital lifted the lid on a new Serious Sam game during today’s Xbox showcase, and it’s a little bit different from the ones that have come before. Serious Sam: Shatterverse is a run-based multiplayer FPS for up to five players, each of them a Sam from a different dimension, who travel through a multiverse…
When I retire (who am I kidding), I’d like to have a proper workshop. I’ve always been a tinkerer, someone who likes to take apart bits of engineering to see exactly how they work. Which is why I feel a certain kinship with David Schütz, who’s been cracking open Tesla Model 3 computers on their…
Personally, I’ve yet to see significant evidence of burn-in on any OLED panel I’ve used, be that desktop, laptop or phone. But I can’t quite shift the notion that it’s a long-term risk. But not enough of a risk, it seems, to stop the market for OLED monitors taking off last year, with sales nearly…
The world of AI boffins really is baffling, sometimes. I’m finally used to the idea that I can chat to a non-sentient, very knowledgeable and occasionally hallucinatory machine, and already we’re talking about AI models interacting with AI models. It’s only in such a world that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang could think to utter the…
