Remember—let me see here—one week ago? When 2005 survival horror shooter Cold Fear disappeared from Steam completely out of the blue? Well, disregard that entirely. It’s back in GOG Preservation Program form. In other words, GOG’s done some work on this one. “The new GOG release of Cold Fear isn’t just a reappearance on a…
Back in August 1994, not long after Doom had pulled PC gaming blinking into the spotlight, Magic: The Gathering released a small expansion named The Dark. Comprising just 119 cards, the set was unique for how it upended the traditional depiction of Magic’s mana colours. Most notably, it radically reinterpreted White mana cards—normally presented as…
I was so conflicted when I first started working on this review of the Lenovo Legion 9i Gen 10. I came into it with this expectation that it was going to be a simple, easy, plug-and-play, get-it-tested-and-done article. A lengthy piece about a $4,000 laptop, brimming with hardware, glowing with accolades and triumphs on its…
Hell is empty and all the devils are here. In a transparent attempt to get harried videogame news writers to write bewildered articles (touché, Microsoft), Xbox has partnered with Crocs to release an “exclusive collection” of atrocious branded footwear. I fully concede that I’ve fallen into the trap on this one, but can you blame…
I’m as guilty as anyone for hammering the skip button when a videogame’s credits begin to roll, but I acknowledge that a scrolling list of names is an important part of the game. At a time when layoffs abound, projects are cancelled at a moment’s notice, and work in the games industry is more difficult…
As my muscular colleague Jeremy pointed out already, Apple has been making gains. It’s doubled the single-core performance of its in-house chips, the M-series, in five years, and while the predicted single-core score in Geekbench 6 for the new M5 was 4100 (based on the M5 iPad Pro), in my actual testing of a 14-inch…
Back in August, Ubisoft announced a live-action Far Cry TV series was coming to FX, co-created by Noah Hawley of Alien: Earth and Rob McElhenney, who now goes by Rob Mac, of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Weirdly, the announcement, which appeared on Ubisoft’s own website on August 9, promptly disappeared, and Ubisoft pretty much…
Another year on this godforsaken rock is grinding to a close, and you know what that means: award season! The Golden Joysticks just wrapped up, The Game Awards are coming, and to kill some time in between you can now nominate your games of choice for the 2025 Steam Awards. I’d actually wondered how Steam…
It’s been well established on this website that Battlefield 6’s transport jeep is an abomination. Not only is the Light Ground Transport (LGT) bad at its only job of safely transporting players from A to B, but despite its high mobility and machinegun nest, its lack of armor plating means your chance of survival goes…
It’s obvious a ton of work has gone into fantasy sim Tavern Keeper, from the intricate and often hilarious animations of the patrons and staff to the flexible and easy-to-learn item design tools to the fully-narrated interludes that make your pub feel like it’s part of a storybook adventure. Tavern Keeper arrived on Steam in…
