Katamari is a perfect example of a series I go through phases of being obsessed with playing, sort of like the Minecraft itch most people get for a few months a year. With that said, the last time I found myself utterly consumed by the story of the Prince and the King of the Cosmos…
My gosh, has it been a year already? Time just flies when you’ve been playing fantastic games like Citizen Sleeper 2, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, and Blue Prince. These are all games our esteemed Council of industry veterans put on the Most Wanted list last year, but they’re old news now, and it’s time to…
Battlefield 6 has been a big hit so far, finally giving us some great food, the likes we’ve not seen for nearly a decade. This is just the beginning, though, as Battlefield 6 Season 1 builds on this solid foundation with new maps, modes, vehicles, guns, attachments, and cosmetic items. This is the start of…
After a solid five hours with Battlefield 6‘s new content coming in Season 1, I can say with absolute certainty that it’s the maps you should be most excited for. The new guns are cool—we only had access to those in the first phase, so the SOR-300SC carbine, Mini Scout sniper, and GGH-22 pistol—but the…
All these years later I still have a grudge against EA. After PopCap delivered two classic PC games, Peggle and Plants vs. Zombies, EA bought ’em up, laid a bunch of ’em off, and turned PopCap into a mobile game developer. Plants vs. Zombies 2 and Peggle 2 didn’t even come out on PC! Ever!…
As if to confirm my point yesterday that OLED panel tech is far from dead, here comes TCL confirming plans for a new multi-billion-dollar OLED factory. But this is the really exciting bit. Not only will this factory focus on OLED panels for monitors, laptops and tablets, at least at first, but it also uses…
There was a time when even we PC gamers had to admit there was a place for console gaming, in part because consoles were just a lot cheaper than gaming PCs. It’s hard to make that argument today, though, and it looks like that won’t be changing any time soon, as Microsoft is keen on…
One of the best parts of Battlefield 6 is that you can pretty much play however you want. You don’t have to go in guns blazing all the time, you can focus on fixing vehicles, jetting through the sky, and oftentimes patching up allies. The Support class has always been my go-to in Battlefield games…
Things are dire in the game industry at the moment. Which is, unfortunately, a sentence I’ve been writing for a lot of moments—two years of moments, actually. I am now writing it again, wincing in sympathy, as former Riot executive Greg Street has taken to LinkedIn to have an (understandable) moan about his studio’s lot….
Artificial superintelligence is, for most of us I think, quite a scary thought. A human-like AI, far more intelligent and capable than any we’ve seen before, developed by companies that often seem unprepared (or uncaring) towards the potential knock-on effects of its deployment. Goody. Still, we’ve been told by industry leaders like Mark Zuckerberg that…
