The best Darktide Hive Scum build for my money isn’t about melee at all. Just like the Arbites before it, the Hive Scum class can be extremely strong in close-quarters, bashing enemies with his Crowbar or chem-laced Bone Saw to apply DoT effects. But does it feel different? Not really. Where the Hive Scum truly…
And just like that, the year is over. While 2025’s new game release calendar saw the occasional dry spell, we were never left lacking for long, and with a gauntlet of big shooter releases barely behind us, I’m ready for some downtime. I’ll need it before the new 2026 games roll in. That’s not to…
FOV 90 (Image credit: Future) Welcome to FOV 90, an FPS column from staff writer Morgan Park. Every week, I’ll be covering a topic relevant to first-person shooter enjoyers, spanning everything from multiplayer and singleplayer to the old and the new. Greetings from a post-Thanksgiving stupor, FPS enjoyers. I had a nice AFK holiday with…
Two weeks after Megabonk developer Vedinad withdrew the game from contention in the Best Debut Indie category at The Game Awards, it’s back in the fight—not as a debut (or indie) game, but in the fan-voted Players’ Voice category. “WE’RE SO BACK,” Vedinad screamed (virtually, of course) on X. “Megabonk is nominated for The Game…
Elden Ring: Nightreign is a better game that I thought it would be, but that doesn’t mean it can’t get any better. This week’s DLC drop is FromSoftware’s chance to add a bunch of stuff nobody expected to show up in a co-op spinoff. Dark Souls has plenty of bosses to borrow from and the…
The hunger for a hot new life sim in the Sims-like style is still going strong and everything we know about Paralives suggests it’s going to be a worthwhile new contender next to The Sims series and Inzoi. It’s being made by a much smaller team than either EA or Krafton, but is still planning…
It would be foolish to say that this is the final, incontrovertible proof that AI hype has gone too far. After all, just a week ago Microsoft’s head of AI was clearly getting high on his own supply when he said that he just didn’t get why folks don’t like the idea of turning Windows…
I love Fallout: New Vegas but you know what I don’t love? New Vegas itself. The strip and the casinos are a bit of a letdown. The streets are nearly empty. The casinos are dull. And the biggest crime of all: you can’t play poker. For the past 15 years, our choices of casino games…
Have you ever thought you wanted to experience the actual hardship your in-game characters have to go through on a daily basis? The blood, the sweat, the tears, and more sweat? No? Well, apparently someone has, because ShakeMistake on YouTube modded Red Dead Redemption 2 to be able to use his rowing machine as a…
The departure of Hideo Kojima from Konami saw the publisher react, initially at least, like a spurned lover. There was an ill-advised attempt to remove the creator’s name from certain packaging, followed-up by the even more ill-advised spinoff Metal Gear Survive, before things went quiet and, for years and years, Konami did nothing with the…
