Winning matches and grinding competitive ranks might be the main goal of Marvel Rivals, but the true draw is playing dress-up with your favourite comic book superheroes. While you can earn some cosmetics by completing in-game challenges, events, or via the battle pass, many of the most sought-after skins require units. Units are one of…

Much to Todd Howard’s chagrin, testing audiences for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle loved Troy Baker as the leading man: ‘They picked you every time’

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle seems to’ve been whipped into good shape by Bethesda, a much-needed win for the studio—capturing for fans (including our own Ted Litchfield, who gave it an 86 in his review) the pure distilled essence of the action adventure classic, like a modern Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay…

Palantir and Anduril have teamed up to ‘ensure the US government leads the world in artificial intelligence’ and this is what happens when LOTR fans get to name companies

I’ve never been that much of a Tolkien buff, but even I know a Lord of the Rings reference when I see one. Gundalf, Bilbao, and Legsolarse are much beloved characters for many of you (I’m told), so an exciting partnership between Palantir and Anduril should be right up your street. Okay, perhaps not quite…

Ubisoft has fixed some of the issues with Avatar, Outlaws and the Windows 11 24H2 update, but the big three Assassin’s Creed are still borked

Printers, webcams, routers—the usual things that have issues after a big operating system patch. For the Windows 11 24H2 update, games also joined in with the failure party, specifically five big releases from Ubisoft and the problems were so bad, that Microsoft prevented the update from being applied to any PC with those games installed….
