Bungie has announced the next playtest dates for Marathon, the extraction shooter reboot of its pre-Halo scifi series. But while we might’ve expected an open beta after April’s closed (but shareable) alpha test, Marathon’s next technical test is once again running behind closed doors, and you’ll need to apply for a slot. The closed playtest…
Outside of a brief internet cafe dalliance back in the early 2000s, I haven’t played much RuneScape, either in its modern or old-school forms. But maybe I should, because Old School RuneScape continues to generate tales of triumph, tragedy, fantasy cop-befuddlement, and jaw-dropping luck. Take, for example, the player who just became the second confirmed…
In a game called Cozy Caravan, I’d have expected more focus to be on the actual driving. Buzzing around in my giant bee-drawn wagon is pretty adorable, and many of the chores I’ve got do encourage me to develop a little route of regulars around the map, but the cooking minigames are really where it’s…
Los Angeles is home to the J. Paul Getty Museum and they’ve created a special tool which allows Animal Crossing: New Horizons fans to access a open-access collection of iconic artwork. If you go to the Animal Crossing Art Generator you can scan a QR Code to bring some of the Getty’s archive for artwork…
I felt pretty content upgrading to an RTX 4070 Super last year, yet taking one peek on Reddit put my modest rig to shame. One Nostalgic user has managed to own so many retro Nvidia cards that it was this close to shattering the shelf some of them rested on. The aptly named u/GPU-Collector has…
Blizzard’s loved a good roadmap, lately—and, as an occasional WoW player, it’s mostly been reaping the rewards of them. But things aren’t so bright and sunny over in Diablo 4 land, with the latest one falling a smidge flat. For starters, half of the thing’s burnt off: Seeing as Diablo 4’s next major expansion isn’t…
One of the interesting quirks of 2022’s Total War: Warhammer 3 is that it featured two major armies that never actually existed in the tabletop game Warhammer Fantasy. Both Kislev (angry, ice-themed Russia) and Grand Cathay (mystical ancient China) had long featured in the lore, but outside of a handful of models and a pamphlet…
Final Fantasy XVI players will soon be able to enjoy two new DLC chapters for the critically-acclaimed action-RPG, one very soon indeed: Echoes of the Fallen launches on PlayStation Store today! The second DLC, entitled The Rising Tide, releases Spring 2024. Both are paid-for DLC, but players can purchase the Final Fantasy XVI Expansion Pass…
Elden Ring Nightreign doesn’t just have brutal bosses with the aim of a sniper and the fury of Zeus, it also has, at times, a map that tries to kill you. And I’m not just talking about the storm. Occasionally there’ll be Shifting Earth events. These start popping up after you defeat the first Nightlord…
As synonymous with the Borderlands series as its trillions of guns, masked psychos, and dodgy vehicle controls are its iconic musical intro cinematics. Serving to acquaint us with four new Vault Hunters and the setting they’ll be gunning through, they’ve taken us everywhere from a bus driving across Pandora to a rocket hurtling through space….
