Jackbox Games is poised to deliver its 11th Jackbox Party Pack this week, so how are they keeping things fresh after all these years? Well, by literally keeping things fresh: every one of the five games in Jackbox Party Pack 11 is an original. There are no sequels to fan favorites like Drawful or Quiplash…
I want to preface this by saying Little Nightmares isn’t the type of horror game that has kept me up at night, but on more than one occasion I have let out a yelp and jumped away from my monitor while playing the first two games. The demo of Reanimal however, the newest horror adventure…
That AMD is planning a dual-die Ryzen CPU with added 3D V-Cache goodness on not just one but both CPU core tiles has been rumoured for some time. But now we have apparent further details of the chip, including naming and claimed clockspeeds. Oh, and there’s an updated and higher-clocked single-die V-Cache Ryzen chip, too,…
The MSI MAG Z890 Tomahawk WiFi has been on the market for 12 months, as it was one of the first motherboards to be released alongside Intel’s Core Ultra 200S range of desktop CPUs, aka Arrow Lake, in October 2024. At the time, there were few other models to choose from, but that’s considerably changed…
Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2‘s main quest is an elaborate, labyrinthine conundrum that spans a century, full of vibrant characters and evocative writing. Bloodlines 2’s sidequests, on the other hand, are pointless, one-note tasks that will send you into a torpor. Every night, the primogens of Seattle’s vampire clans sit around in their havens,…

You want to know if you can hook up with any of the immortal bloodsuckers and find romance in Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2. I’ve got good news and bad news. In the World of…
Playing Dispatch, the super-powered workplace comedy from AdHoc Studio and Critical Role, I found myself thinking about 2012 a lot. And not just because I yearn for the days when I didn’t make weird noises getting up from my chair. See, that was the year Telltale reimagined the adventure game as a narrative-driven social conundrum…
Every great leader knows it: you can’t make an omelette without breaking some eggs. Sometimes you have to do bad things in order to achieve good things. Sometimes you have to spill a little blood. Sometimes you have to, let’s see here, kill 806 quadrillion people via famine in the space of a single year….
I really enjoyed surreal roguelike Ball X Pit when I reviewed it earlier this month—so it’s great to hear that it’s since gone on to be a huge hit. According to a post by the developer on Bluesky, it’s already sold 300,000 copies just in the first five days of being on sale. For context,…
Superheroes are a difficult genre to pin down in TTRPGs—game balance is basically impossible when you’re talking comic books, since having a cast of seriously varying power levels is part of the whole appeal. However, Masks—one of my favourite systems—nails it completely, and it’s also in Humble’s new RPG Bundle. This (up to) 27-item bundle…
