Intel has reported its first-quarter 2026 financial results, and they read as something of a victory lap. It wasn’t too long ago the company appeared to be down on its knees, but CEO Lip-Bu Tan, now just over a year into his posting, struck a defiant tone in the opening remarks. “Intel is now a…
World of Warcraft‘s latest patch, 12.0.5, was a bit of a doozy—flooded with bugs from small irritants to busted classes, head-scratching design decisions, and raid-scuppering glitches. Not to mention just some confusing choices, like giving my class a new ability that makes it harder for everyone to not stand in the fire. It’s been one…
In the month since Archetype Entertainment gave us our first look at its sci-fi RPG Exodus, there’s been a drip-feed of teasers showcasing gunfights, the exploration of alien worlds, stealth and a man looking out of his balcony. The main takeaway from these teasers is that, yep, this sure looks like Mass Effect. Which isn’t…
Taming the legendary Phoenix in Crimson Desert is just one of the many new features that the most recent patch added to the game. While you can capture most birds using the Sotdae of Bond item, essentially a fancy bird feeder, this flame-feathered friend requires a rougher approach. Similar to the legendary Silver Fang and…

Bird-wise, you can befriend anything from a common variety Sparrow, to a legendary Phoenix, but first you’ll have to…
In what’s looking to be The Year of Linux (TM) as well as the year of the RAMpocalypse and future market uncertainty, it’s perhaps not surprising that some would try to get their hands on a solid, performant, and most importantly modular and upgradeable laptop that plays well with Linux. Though I will admit to…
Microsoft Gaming CEO Asha Sharma promised “a renewed commitment to Xbox” when she took over from Phil Spencer in February, and in the months since we’ve seen some movement on that front: A promise to avoid “soulless AI slop,” the end of the “this is an Xbox” strategy, and most recently, a reduction of Game…
Masters of Albion has Peter Molyneux’s paws all over it. The art style and arch British humor channels Fable, and it’s even set in a place called Albion (not the same Albion as Fable, of course). It’s all very gentle, very quaint, like I’ve just opened an Enid Blyton or Jill Barklem picture book. But…
If you’ve grown a bit weary of survival games where a stick and a rock can automagically be combined to make a tree-felling axe and you can build a comfortable base in a matter of minutes, how about something a bit more authentic? Wordless Forest is a FMV (Full Motion Video) survival game that could…
In February this year, Turkiye’s Family and Social Services Ministry announced draft legislation to impose various restrictions and overweening oversight on Steam, Epic, and other gaming platforms. The country’s parliament has now approved the bill, with some minor changes, which will mean tough times ahead for such platforms, and newly limited access for Turkish players….
