I don’t want to get anybody’s hopes up, but with BlizzCon 2026 now just over a week away, it really is starting to look like something—possibly something big—is happening in the world of StarCraft. The excitement began earlier this week when Korea’s Chosun (Google translated, via WCCFTech) ran a story saying Nexon is close to…
As Microsoft continues to flail for a remedy to the reputational damage it’s incurred as a result of its repeated mass layoffs, bungled industry consolidation strategies, and partnership with Israeli surveillance agencies, its gaming division is returning to a favorite page from its playbook in recent years: Hiking service costs. Today, Xbox announced that it…
Ever since the Control mod appeared I’ve been enjoying jamming the released DLSS 5 .dll files into a bunch of different games, to greater or lesser effect. Some games it works well in, some it doesn’t quite take and you end up with visuals that look a lot like the characters have worms writhing around…
Every time I use my laptop I get that pins and needles feeling in my hands. It’s like a cactus constantly pricking me. Turns out it’s this Dell XPS 9370 I’ve worn through the palm rests, and now I’m just being stabbed by carbon fibers. In hindsight, it is perhaps a bad… pic.twitter.com/cA30b2Tr1ASeptember 1, 2026…
Nobody likes game delays. Sure, a delay is temporary and suck is forever, as Gabe Newell once said, but it still chafes. But sometimes a little extra development time can go a very long way. In a new interview with the NoClip podcast, immersive sim maestro Harvey Smith shared one such story about Deus Ex,…

What’s that sound I’m hearing? Could it be the sound of five rings? Well, no, because that’s not the kind of rings Musashi wrote about. It’s the sound of a desperate bit of wordplay constructed to lead into a post about the launch times and release date for Onimusha: War of the Sword. Musashi’s the…
Los Santos Customs I’m modding GTA 5 every day in a quest to either transform it into a PC version of GTA 6 or break it entirely. Come back tomorrow to find out what new horrible thing I’ve done to Rockstar’s baby, or check out what I got up to earlier. The problem with Grand…
At Gamescom, I got to see a hands-off demo of Guild Wars 3 and chatted to the developers about what they have in store for us when the MMO hits beta next year. You can read about the significant changes to movement and combat in my Guild Wars 3 preview, but we also discussed how…
Working out how to escape Xanthe’s trap in The Blood of Dawnwalker took me a lot longer than I’d like to admit. This event only occurs during your assault on Griefberg Castle if you chose not to spare Xanthe, or straight up killed her before starting the final sequence. Obviously, this guide will contain some…
