In a decade of tuning into Awesome Games Done Quick, I’ve seen runners speed through gaming history while blindfolded, with hands tied behind their backs, and even two runners sharing a single controller, but I’ve never seen what happened today at AGDQ 2024: a dog and his owner teamed up to speedrun an NES classic…
After some leaked screenshots from the EA app let the cat out of the bag last week, EA has revealed the full details on two new Sims 4 DLC kits coming this week. The Castle Estate Kit and Goth Galore Kit were both born out of themes voted on by players last summer and are…
Just a couple weeks after Square Enix president Takashi Kiryu said it intends “to be aggressive in applying AI” to its content creation processes, the company has confirmed with VGC that its new multiplayer party shooter Foamstars does in fact use AI-generated art—but just a teeny little bit.

When I play Hearts of Iron, field hospitals are an icon I add to my divisions that gives me a bit of my lost manpower back after each battle. That’s it. War Hospital, however, takes us down into the sickbeds and surgical clinics of the First World War’s Western Front in a way that emphasizes…
GSC Game World’s long-awaited Stalker 2 has a new release date, and yes, it’s another delay. Instead of arriving in the first quarter of 2024 as planned, the studio announced today that a “final release date” has been set for September 5. GSC acknowledged that the latest delay is disappointing, but said the need to…
