Disk Cleanup (Image credit: Future) Welcome to Disk Cleanup, our regular weekend feature delving into the PCs of PC gaming luminaries. Come back every weekend to read a new interview, digging into the important questions, like “How tidy is your desktop?” and “What game will you never uninstall?” Felipe Falanghe got into PC gaming by…
It’s been a big week for Project Zomboid, the wildly successful zombie survival sim that, like a doomsday prepper holed up in a fortified basement, simply refuses to leave Steam early access. Its first major build update since 2021 coincided with a slight price increase for The Indie Stone’s undead phenomenon, but this didn’t stop…
Works of cart. CTRL: Essays on Video Games is an anthology examining the cultural impact and effects of gaming through deeply personal reflections. Edited by Dean Fee, it’s a brilliantly varied collection filled with memories and illuminating accounts that run the emotional gamut. Lilliput Press kindly sent me an early copy and I finally managed…
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 just closed out its second year of post-release support with a one-two punch of updates. Patch 14, aka The Confrontation Update, adds a new enemy and significantly expands the game’s PvP options.

Ahead of the release, the development team has now showcased gameplay footage of this version of the game. It starts at around the 13-minute mark, and the stream runs…
Sometimes I understand why modders flame out, burn their bridges, and give up entirely. Every time I look at a posts page on Nexus Mods, for instance. A perfect example of this has been the reaction to Relysia’s True Third-Person Camera mod for Baldur’s Gate 3, a labor of love that gives the traditionally birdseye…
If you’ve never heard of the original Xibalba, that’s not too surprising. The 2014 browser game from Phobos Lab is a weird little artifact of its era, a chonky retro styled Doom clone premised around the Mayan underworld. The blocky aesthetic exists alongside Oculus Rift functionality, allowing players to immerse themselves in the weirdly…
The Switch patch is “on the way”. Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game launched for the Switch last week and the developers have revealed some more plans for the title going forward. Firstly, the upcoming patches will add Ranked Mode, Lobbies, Spectator Mode, a Beginner’s Zone, more Casual Modes, new tutorials and combo trials. The team…
