The future of EA has looked, well, uncertain since it got picked up in the biggest leveraged buyout in private equity history. For one thing, it’s now on the hook for $20 billion in debt. For another, the buyout came from a group of investors that included Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund and Affinity Partners—founded…
Arc Raiders has a boatload of materials for you to loot topside, and while most of them say what they’re used for, Rusted Tools certainly do not. They’re considered a rare recyclable material, and that’s likely what you’ve done if you’ve found some already, and now you’re frantically searching for more upon the grave realisation…
If you’ve been wanting a mini PC refresh with the latest Nvidia Blackwell tech, Asus’ popular NUC line is back again, except not really, or only kind of, because although the latest mini PC looks a heck of a lot like a NUC, it’s dropped the NUC name, likely given that it’s rocking AMD silicon….
Solo developer Zeekerss may be best known for Lethal Company, arguably the most influential game of the last few years. But it’s actually the latest in a long line of spooky experiences from the game design wunderkind. Previous projects include the lo-fi paranoia generator It Steals, the survival horror throwback Dead Seater, and the physics-heavy…
I’m far from the biggest Microsoft fan, but Windows 11 Insiders have been enjoying an early look at some features that I’m decidedly envious of—and I’m definitely not talking about the introduction of Ask Copilot in the taskbar. No, I personally don’t care much for any of that AI nonsense. In Preview Build 26220.7051, the…
Scrappy is one demanding rooster in Arc Raiders, and nowhere is that more evident than his level four upgrade, where he tasks you with tracking down six prickly pears, six olives, and a cat bed. That’s quite an ask, though you’ll be pleased to know that you’ve likely stumbled across the best olive location already….
The Broken Monument mission in Arc Raiders may give you a starting location, but it’s a bit of a scavenger hunt, as you pick your way through the Scrap Yard looking for three items Tian Wen sent you to retrieve. While it’s not quite as involved as What We Left Behind or Eyes in the…
Somehow, Saints Row returned. Well, kind of. In a giddy post on the Saints Row subreddit, a lead on the original game in the Saints Row series announced that someone, somewhere might be interested in firing up Volition’s (RIP) open-world crime games once more. Chris Stockman, who served as design director on the first Saints…
When REPO announced it would be receiving a bunch of new monsters in September, I naively thought they wouldn’t be too scary. Most of REPO’s existing critters are unsettling, especially the Upscream and the Animal, but there’s nothing that really petrifies you. The same can’t be said for the game now though, and having spent…
I am really optimistic about Starfinder: Afterlight, an upcoming CRPG based on the Starfinder 2e TTRPG system. It’s got a lot of things going for it: sensible developers, a gorgeous artstyle, official support from Paizo, and voice direction by Neil Newbon of Baldur’s Gate 3 fame. Also, its Kickstarter has had the crap funded out…
