There was a spot of skycontroversy earlier this year when former Skyblivion world designer Dee Keyes took issue with the mega-mod’s planned launch in 2025. Keyes was critical of project management over “crunching” in pursuit of what he called “a pointless and unachievable release date.” And it turns out he was right, at least about…

GameStop’s been on a roll with bizarre trade-ins as of late. After announcing “Trade Anything Day,” an idea that sounds more like a sketch comedy bit than a real thing, it has awarded a record-setting payout of over $30,000 to a customer who handed in a “fully authenticated PSA 10 Holo Gengar.” It’s also really…

As is ever the case with FromSoftware DLC, part of the challenge with Elden Ring Nightreign‘s expansion is working out how to unlock The Forsaken Hollows. Thankfully, it’s nowhere near as cryptic as something like the Artorias of the Abyss expansion in Dark Souls, which was pretty much impossible to find unless you knew where…

A Reuters report says Russia has blocked access to Roblox in the country over concerns that it is “rife with inappropriate content that can negatively impact the spiritual and moral development of children.” That may not be entirely wrong, but the allegations themselves certainly are: The ban was prompted by what Russian media watchdog Roskomnadzor…

Ron Gilbert is something akin to PC gaming royalty, having worked on all-time greats like The Secret of Monkey Island and Maniac Mansion—he also designed the Mona Lisa of edutainment, Freddi Fish and the Case of the Missing Kelp Seeds, so he’s good in my book. You might think such a resplendent back catalog would…

Citing a “surge in demand for memory and storage” driven by AI data centers, Micron announced on Wednesday that it’s made the “difficult decision to exit the Crucial consumer business in order to improve suply and support for [its] larger, strategic customers in faster-growing segments.” In other words: sorry, PC gamers, but you’re no longer…

As everyone else drools over the new characters and bosses coming in Elden Ring Nightreign’s DLC, I am ecstatic over a quality-of-life change in the latest patch notes. Sure, melee characters, like Wylder and Raider, are getting big buffs to related passive effects, but I personally have received a huge buff because you can now…

Towards the end of last month, Brendan Greene’s studio PlayerUnknown Productions finally launched its new survival simulator into early access. And it’s changed quite a bit in just the few weeks it’s been out. Prologue: Go Wayback! started with a single mode: survival. In this, you’d get dropped into a new procedurally generated map and…

When I first played Prologue: Go Wayback! at the beginning of 2025, my first thought was ‘Boy, this would be great if there were a bear or two in these woods’. Don’t get me wrong, I liked the survival loop of roaming around, damp and hungry, but I always thought animals would add a little…

The saga of Horses has taken another unexpected twist as the Humble Store, which just a couple days ago affirmed that it would carry the game as a DRM-free download despite its ban on Steam and Epic, has now apparently stopped selling it. Steam was the first major storefront to refuse to carry Horses, a…
