Our top 100 games of 2025 went live earlier this week, and a strange phenomenon has happened. We don’t have any goddamn MMOs on there. Just to make sure I wasn’t seeing things, I checked all 100 entries: Not a single one. No World of Warcrafts, no Final Fantasy 14s, no Guild Wars 2s, no…
Tactical or tacti-cool, that is the real question when it comes to cosmetics in modern FPS games—or, maybe, the secret third answer: completely absurd and silly collaborations or celebrities, like most of the recent ones in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, which is odd considering I thought it was supposed to be a Cold…
Call me a nerd if you must, but I often think about the Apple Vision Pro. The VR/AR headset was a rare misstep from the company, a device that was subject to immediate ridicule upon its release primarily thanks to the fact it looked like a pair of SCUBA goggles, and came with a ludicrous…
Windows 10 may be essentially an ex-operating system, but that doesn’t mean Microsoft has relinquished its appetite for really ancient code. For proof, look no further than the icons contained within the antediluvian pifmgr.dll file that lives on in Windows 11 to this day. According to this blog post on the Microsoft Dev site by…
I’m sure we have plenty to actually thank AI for, but DDR4 pricing isn’t one of those things. For a long time, DDR4 RAM was cheap enough to be worth consideration if you were looking to build a budget gaming PC. But judging from some recent charts shared by semiconductor analyst Ray Wang, DDR4 pricing…
Katamari is a perfect example of a series I go through phases of being obsessed with playing, sort of like the Minecraft itch most people get for a few months a year. With that said, the last time I found myself utterly consumed by the story of the Prince and the King of the Cosmos…
My gosh, has it been a year already? Time just flies when you’ve been playing fantastic games like Citizen Sleeper 2, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, and Blue Prince. These are all games our esteemed Council of industry veterans put on the Most Wanted list last year, but they’re old news now, and it’s time to…
Battlefield 6 has been a big hit so far, finally giving us some great food, the likes we’ve not seen for nearly a decade. This is just the beginning, though, as Battlefield 6 Season 1 builds on this solid foundation with new maps, modes, vehicles, guns, attachments, and cosmetic items. This is the start of…
After a solid five hours with Battlefield 6‘s new content coming in Season 1, I can say with absolute certainty that it’s the maps you should be most excited for. The new guns are cool—we only had access to those in the first phase, so the SOR-300SC carbine, Mini Scout sniper, and GGH-22 pistol—but the…
All these years later I still have a grudge against EA. After PopCap delivered two classic PC games, Peggle and Plants vs. Zombies, EA bought ’em up, laid a bunch of ’em off, and turned PopCap into a mobile game developer. Plants vs. Zombies 2 and Peggle 2 didn’t even come out on PC! Ever!…
