Four hours of Battlefield 6 multiplayer made one thing extremely clear: Battlefield was perfect just the way it was. I’m no Battlefield 2042 hater—in fact, I maintain it got really good—but it proved that the Battlefield formula doesn’t infinitely scale. Double the players was not automatically better, nor was its faux-class system that emphasized flashy…
It took 16 long years, but Plants vs. Zombies is finally coming back. Unveiled during today’s Nintendo Direct showcase (but yes, it’s coming to PC, let’s clear that up straight away), Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted is a full remaster of the original game, “with new levels, fresh twists, and 15 years of never-before-seen franchise history.”…
I don’t think it’s remotely overstating things to say that Destiny 2 is currently in shambles. That much was clear from our review of the recently released Edge of Fate expansion, which scored 54%. “Somehow, Bungie has taken the worst elements of multiple live-service grinds and combined them into something nonsensical that feels terrible to…

During the quarter that ended June 30, Wilds sales had fallen by more than 95% from its launch quarter, leaving the…
Despite building an alternative to Microsoft Office, LibreOffice developer Mike Kaganski still has to deal with Microsoft’s customer support since having his account locked. This led to a familiar tale of fighting a losing battle against customer support services that don’t quite understand what you’re saying. In a blog cheekily titled “Microsoft, anybody home?” (via…
Your average roguelike deckbuilder gives you plenty to worry about. Will I get that last card I need to perfect this combo? Is my damage high enough to beat that next boss? Have I got enough card draw to make this strategy work? But one thing you don’t normally have to worry about is your…
Elden Ring Nightreign’s latest patch is out after temporarily being delayed due to a tsunami warning, and it brings a whole host of new features including duo expeditions, a new Everdark Sovereign (Augur), and, perhaps the most exciting new addition, an improved sorting system for relics. “New filtering options have been added to the Relic…
One of the joys of writing our Budget or bust feature is the possibility of stumbling across a diamond in the rough, and that’s exactly what’s happened to me recently. I’ve been testing the Amazon Basics USB Condenser Microphone of late, and I can now confirm that it’s a brilliant little audio-grabber for a mere…
