Overwatch’s season 1 Conquest event came to a close a few weeks ago. We knew Overwatch won the competition straight away, although it was close, but now we know the exact number of players who actually stayed loyal to Winston’s cause, and it’s not great. As it turns out only 32% of all the Conquest…
AI must have been doing push-ups in the dead of night lately, because a lead Linux kernel maintainer says it’s pretty recently started to come in very useful. Not necessarily for coding—although I’m sure that landscape is constantly evolving, too—but rather for generating security reports. Speaking to The Register, Linux Kernel dev Greg Kroah-Hartman explained…
I’m over 100 hours into Crimson Desert now, and I still do not understand why Pearl Abyss felt the need to give us three playable characters. I was surprised enough that the developer didn’t put the reputation gained from Black Desert Online’s stellar character creator to use. Instead, my first time booting up the game…

Where do I even start? Street Fighter has, historically, featured some pretty weird storylines, but I don’t think anyone was prepared for incest. Then Alex came along. This new DLC fighter for Street Fighter 6 (who first appeared in Street Fighter 3: New Generation) arrived on March 17, and let’s not beat around the bush…
Things are not great in the videogame industry right now. It seems like no matter what you do—make a hit, make a flop, don’t make anything at all—there’s a good likelihood that you’re going to end up out of work. For people who’ve been around long enough, it brings back memories of the game industry…
With over 600 hours sunk into Baldur’s Gate 3, Larian’s superlative fantasy RPG, I’ve got to get my new run kicks from somewhere (am I right, or am I right?), so for my latest assault on the Elder Brain, I decided to do a pure solo Durge draconic bloodline tiefling from the lower planes. The…
No, the ROG Kithara is not the gaming headset to solve the cost of living crisis. It is a joy to listen to your games and music with, though, and a genuine curiosity in a crowded market. You don’t need one, and neither do I, but let’s sit awhile anyway and enjoy what ROG and…
Astarion from Baldur’s Gate 3 is certainly up there in the hall of fame of killer RPG companions—not just because he’s literally a killer as a vampire, but because he’s a nuanced, complicated character performed by a very talented actor. It’s no shock that Neil Newbon, who played him in Larian’s finest, received awards for…
A lot of my favourite games ever made fall under the expansive rubric of “eurojank.” Stalker, the first Witcher, Mount & Blade—the list goes on. But maybe it’s a little unfair to confine the jank phenomenon exclusively to Europe. After all, what is 2004 RPG Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines, which is still getting fan…
