There are times when World of Tanks feels less like a videogame and more like a giant ad budget looking for something to be spent on. This year, all those huge sacks with dollar signs on them have been thrown Benedict Cumberbatch’s way, making him the game’s newest “Holiday Ambassador” and the star of an…
A Chinese startup founded by a former Google engineer claims to have created a new ultra-efficient and relatively low cost AI chip using older manufacturing techniques. Meanwhile, Google itself is now reportedly considering whether to make its own specialised AI chips available to buy. Together, these chips could represent the start of a new processing…
Lies of P was already one of my favourite non-FromSoftware soulslikes—partially because I’m a big Sekiro freak, but also because it was just very well put together. Then its DLC released and it blew my freaking socks off. It’s done good by developer Neowiz, too—not only selling well, but also pulling in an award for…
Since it was bought by Krafton in July, players have been looking at Last Epoch developer Eleventh Hour Games with a worried expression. Will the formerly independent studio pivot to AI, or be gutted like Subnautica developer Unknown Worlds was? No, said founder Judd Cobler, and it won’t be charging money for Last Epoch’s upcoming…
A brand new YouTube channel called Games’ Past dedicated to unearthing prototypes and canceled videogames has kicked things off with a humdinger of a find. It’s a pre-release build of Fallout: New Vegas from a month before it went on sale, one that’s two gigabytes larger than the final version and jammed full of things…
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is big. It’s sold more than five million copies so far, and it dominated the Golden Joystick awards, matching the record set in 2023 by Baldur’s Gate 3 (which was also big). But in a post-Golden Joysticks interview with Radio Times Gaming (via GamesRadar), creative director Guillaume Broche said he didn’t…
I’m sure we all get that sudden, seemingly random urge to boot up Minecraft every now and then. And like any game as intensely moddable as the venerable voxel sandbox, each revisit is bound to become further divorced from the intended experience than the last. But here’s something really different: as if to explore the…
We learned last week that the realm of Fortnite, the real ‘everything app,’ will be expanding its borders even further through the adoption of Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill—specifically an “unfilmed scene” entitled The Lost Chapter: Yuki’s Revenge. A colorful videogame filled with cartoonish characters struck me as an odd thing to mash up with Tarantino’s…
The ZX Spectrum is easily one of the most iconic PCs of all time, and it’s fondly remembered by British gamers as a 1980s powerhouse. Although long gone, it’s far from forgotten, as can be gathered from this Lego Ideas project. Made by lem.designs, the project is a faithful replica of the ZX Sinclair, all…
Captain Wayne – Vacation Desperation is a funky, offbeat shooter made in the Doom engine that I’ve been looking forward to since trying it’s demo over two and a half years ago. Its launch has come with an added pleasant surprise as well: The full game, including a campaign and endless horde mode, is available…
