August is shaping up to be a relatively quiet month when it comes to videogame launches, at least when it comes to brand new diversions. It is, however, a weirdly busy month for remakes and remasters, which seem poised to dominate this part of the summer. I like to pretend I’m above nostalgia, but in…
Remember the Black Mesa Incident? Well that just happened in my room, thanks to a very sprightly little chip in the RTX 5060 laptop that I’m testing. The Asus TUF A14 (2025) in front of me has an Nvidia RTX 5060 and an AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 APU inside of it. You might expect…
Italy’s antitrust authority, AKA the body the looks into monopoly abuses by companies, has reportedly launched an investigation into Meta. According to Reuters, the Italian authority is considering, “allegations the company abused its dominant position by installing its artificial intelligence tool on messaging service WhatsApp.” The key detail, it seems, is that Meta foisted its…

I bang this drum a lot, but what the world needs right now, more than anything, is a remaster (and PC release) of Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction, a game I mostly remember for letting me fly around in a helicopter and collapsing infrastructure. Would it hold up? Possibly not, but it’s one of very few…
EA’s CEO, Andrew Wilson, has tapped masterfully into the greater machine spirit of corporate jargon to deliver news that’ll doubtlessly have you very excited about the future of Battlefield 6: “This isn’t just a product. We’re really building out Battlefield as a platform.” I’m salivating already. Alright, in fairness, Wilson was preaching the monetisation choir—delivering…
Baldur’s Gate 3 was one of the best RPGs of the decade, and it’s not getting a sequel—at least, not one made by Larian, anyway. That’s simply because the developer’s heart wasn’t in it, or the prospect of making DLC, either. I can’t quite blame them. If I spent close to 10 years doing anything,…
Aside from some nasty performance issues, Obsidian and Eidos Montreal’s Grounded 2 is off to a great start in early access, and thanks to the release of the roadmap we now have a good idea of what’s coming next. While the team’s not ready to commit to a hard timeline, the early access roadmap shows…
