Just three days after Greg Street confirmed that Fantastic Pixel Castle is closing due to the loss of NetEase funding, yet another NetEase-backed studio says it’s suffered the same fate. Bad Brain Game Studios, founded in 2023 and headed up by former Ubisoft Toronto lead producer Sean Crooks, announced today that it will close its…
What a strange time to be alive: Netflix and production company A24 are reportedly turning messy co-op cooking romp Overcooked into a reality competition, and I’m not going to immediately assume it will be terrible. Videogame adaptations don’t suck now, you may have noticed, and while I’m sure there are still plenty of TV execs…
Fantasy management sim Tavern Keeper has only been out on Steam for three days but it goes back a ways—quite a long ways. Developer Greenheart Games, maker of 2013’s Game Dev Tycoon, has been working on its pub sim for more than a decade. Looks like all that hard work has finally paid off: Tavern…
The demise of traditional x86 PC processors in favour of leaner, more efficient Arm chips has been predicted since, well, it seems like forever. For that notion to gain any traction for PC gaming, however, support for discrete graphics cards is needed. Say hello, then, to the Minisforum MS-R1 (via PC Watch), a compact PC…
You don’t have to have lived through a certain era to be a fan of it, but the best retro vibes one can experience are with those that spark the memories you have of those times. If you’ve been a PC enthusiast for as long as I have, then you’ll probably look at SilverStone’s new…
Red Dead Redemption’s ending—which, heads up, I am gonna spoil here—is famous for a reason. Gamers are a cosseted bunch, and it was (heck, it continues to be) very rare that an open world didn’t stick you right back in the protagonist’s boots after credits rolled, so you could go mop up whatever side quests…
A bipartisan bill might just offer a step in the right direction for workers’ rights in the age of AI, calling for further investigation “regarding artificial intelligence-related job impacts” (via The Verge). The “AI-Related Job Impacts Clarity Act” will require both publicly-traded firms and government organisations to report to the Department of Labor how many…
The oddly stylish mannequin-like medical robot, Lance, has somehow lost his ESR Analyser, whatever that is exactly, claiming it simply poofed out of existence. Cue the A Reveal in Ruins mission in Arc Raiders, where Lance asks you to find another analyser for his research. Although A Reveal in Ruins has two steps to complete…
Arc Raiders has heaps of random junk for you to collect, as well as more practical items like guns, shields, and keys, but they’ve all got their uses one way or another. The biggest sink for all these bits and bobs is undoubtedly the Expedition Project, which overshadows even donating all the resources for workbench…
Remember the Assassin’s Creed: Shadows controversy? I barely do. If you listened to a very particular crowd back when it was revealed the game would feature Yasuke, a real historical figure who’s been referenced a whole bunch in Japanese media anyway, you’d have thought it was the end of days. Initially, Ubisoft tried to mollify…
