Palworld, aka that game everyone has spent the last two years referring to as “Pokémon with guns,” is out on Friday, but streamers are already broadcasting it ahead of launch—and going off early Twitch numbers, it’s a hit. Wednesday morning (Pacific time) Palworld had around 60,000 viewers on Twitch, and that figure has climbed steadily…
I never really gave much thought to it, but a computer repair business would be an excellent place to run a criminal enterprise. You’re handing your precious PC to a complete stranger to fix it, but who’s to say what else they’ll do while they have access to your box of electronic goodies? They could…
Some game announcements just immediately grab my attention, and Vampire Therapist is definitely one of them. Honestly, it had me at the title—I mean, Vampire Therapist, there’s no way you don’t want to know more about that—but the underlying concept looks genuinely interesting too: It’s a dark comedy narrative adventure about a cowboy who was…
The Finals got its first ever limited-time mode today in patch 1.5.0, continuing developer Embark’s uncommon strategy of surprise content drops untethered from a public roadmap. The mode is Solo Bank It, a new take on normal Bank It that trades four teams of three for one big 12-player free-for-all. When some people see “limited-time…
Rock Band 4 never made it to PC. Developer Harmonix said in 2015 that it was uncertain whether there was a sufficient audience for the game on PC, and then in 2016 it proved that worry valid by launching a crowdfunding campaign for a PC version that barely achieved half of its $1.5 million goal….
They say every dog has its day, but for EverQuest’s Fippy Darkpaw it turns out it’s a whole year. The Year of Darkpaw celebration kicked off this month with promotional events, collectibles, and bonus dungeons for tenacious adventurers still playing EverQuest to sink their gnoll fangs into. The fun will continue with new time-locked servers…
Look, up in the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s… Abraham Lincoln? Who… is a bird? It only takes a few minutes playing Time Survivors, a new Vampire Survivors-like, before you’re in control of the sixteenth American president, flapping his arms and flying over ancient Egypt, massacring aliens with a yo-yo and summoning…
Before there was Wordle, there was Threes!: A simple, logic-based puzzle game that blew up into a huge, often-copied hit. Mobile gaming site TouchArcade called it “about as close as it gets to a perfect mobile game” when it debuted on iOS devices on February 6, 2014, and with the tenth anniversary of that big…
Remember Cambridge Analytica? The British political consultancy operated from 2013-18 and had one mission: to hoover-up the data of Facebook users without their knowledge, then use this personal information to tailor political ads that would in theory sway their voting intentions (for an exorbitant price, of course). When the scandal broke, it was accused of…
Baldur’s Gate 3 companion Gale may be “the Sword Coast’s biggest wife guy,” but he’s also apparently a bit of a touchy sort who will permanently leave your party if you don’t cough up magic items when he asks for one. Not cool! Also not intentional, as it turns out, as the latest Baldur’s Gate…
