It’s hard to believe it’s been over a decade since The Witcher 3 first released, and even harder to believe they found a way to make Geralt’s tub transformation even shinier. The seminal open world RPG’s hotly anticipated remaster has finally arrived, and it’s pulling people back into the Continent all these years later (now…

The Cursed Apple, wherein Valve’s latest MOBA Deadlock takes place, is ‘an urban fantasy setting’ in the same way that Limp Bizkit is ‘an American rock band.’ Sure, the label is accurate, but Deadlock is unmistakably, crucially, and specifically New York the same way Fred Durst is sort of like the living avatar of Jacksonville,…

Every other week, I’ll be sharing my thoughts on the genre, interviewing fellow MMO-heads like me, taking a deep-dive into mechanics we’ve all taken for granted, and, occasionally, bringing in guest writers to talk about their MMO of choice.

On the subject of teeth, one of these classes is a tank called Rat King, a giant humanoid rodent who started out as a fan concept…

What comes to mind when I say ‘big brand competitive gaming mouse’? If you’re anything like me, that particular Rorschach test will make you spit…
I thoroughly enjoyed 007: First Light when it launched back in May, but one area where I thought it fell short of delivering a fully-fledged James Bond experience was in its cars. While there are some great vehicle sequences in First Light’s campaign—including a fight on a cargo plane and a killer action scene involving…
This is how I knew Dicevaders got its claws into me: the first thing I did this morning was boot up my Steam Deck (which is next to my bed, of course), just so I could get another run in before logging on for work. This kind of compulsive behaviour hasn’t been part of my…
