The PlayStation network has been completely borked for 16 hours and counting at the time of writing, first going offline at 1 AM CET / 7 PM ET / 4 PM PT on February 8. Sony has yet to provide an explanation for the outage, which affects PSN logins and services across all platforms, including…
It’s a pretty great time to have a ravenous appetite for a good spy thriller. Sift through the mountain of streaming guff and you’ll find more than your fill. Want something sexy and slick? Mr & Mrs Smith will sort you out. Ever thought Gary Oldman would be great as a washed-up spy in desperate…
I’ll be honest, I almost passed on writing about Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2‘s datavault update. I like libraries as much as the next introvert, but they don’t exactly make for gripping headlines (unless it’s a library of digitised videogame magazines, that stuff rules). But then I discovered the datavault update doesn’t just expand your…
When I first became self-aware in Heart of the Machine, I had the option to immediately murder the humans near me and rush out into the city. I didn’t. I waited, snuck out, and started copying myself into a pack of other android bodies. I/We fled, hid and built a mainframe in a sparsely populated…

The tongue-in-cheek kart racer (which was originally titled Bloodborne Kart before Sony performed a legal visceral attack on its nomenclature) arrived on PC last year, wowing players…
Kickstart your weekend Wordle with our clue for the February 8 (1330), designed to give you a helping hand without immediately giving the game away. You can also use it further into the puzzle if you like, to nudge any yellow letters into place and sweep away those greys. Not clicking? Not enough rows left…
There’s clearly one opponent in the Monster Hunter Wilds beta that towers over the rest, and that’s Arkveld, a massive white wyvern. Arkveld wasn’t fightable in the first beta—Wilds’ “flagship” monster is a new addition for the second open beta, and I think Capcom included it to put cocky and complacent hunters in their place….
First reported by Ars Technica, the copyright case against Facebook parent company Meta over its use of authors’ work to train large language models has unearthed some embarrassing dirty laundry in discovery. Dozens of emails, allegedly between Meta employees, discuss torrenting massive amounts of pirated material—and seeding those torrents to boot—in order to train the…
