For a certain kind of FPS fan, Battlefield 6‘s big multiplayer reveal is hitting at the perfect moment. Call of Duty is firmly in its slop era, leaving DICE and co. with an opening to be the only big-budget FPS around that doesn’t devolve into a clown show of ugly premium skins like CoD’s Beavis…
Prolific FromSoftware dataminer Zullie the Witch is back with another interesting piece of Elden Ring Nightreign esoterica: The version of Dark Souls 3’s Nameless King you fight on foot is different than the one riding the dragon, and FromSoft had to get creative with how it hides the transition. In the first phase of his…
A nice little lineup. The Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase for July 2025 may have come and gone, but if you need a reminder of all the games that featured in it (and if our full round-up wasn’t enough for ya), then the Big N has got you covered. A brand new infographic shared on the…
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld the decision in the Epic vs Google lawsuit, which began in 2020 and in late 2023 found that the Play Store and associated payment systems are monopolies. What does Epic co-founder and CEO Tim Sweeney think? “Total victory in the Epic v Google appeal!“ Google can still…
The GPD Win 5 is looking to be a strange device. An AMD Strix Halo-powered gaming handheld that lacks any internal battery, it doesn’t have the benefit of a keyboard like a laptop or the portability of, well, every other gaming handheld. I felt confused when it was announced last week, and now that there’s…
My favourite one is both. Note. This article contains minor, non-narrative spoilers (specifically, Bananza forms and mid-game layers). Did you know there was a U-turn jump in Bananza? I just realised this morning! He does a roll jump (that can be chained into another air roll) and lands with a sonar splash. I’m not exactly…
If you’ve managed to overcome the difficult final boss (at least at the launch of early access), you’ll likely have come across the Sizzling Key in Grounded 2. Or, perhaps you’ve stumbled upon the locked chest in Pine Hill that requires it. Either way, it’s not immediately clear what you actually need to do with…
There are many differences between Razer’s BlackShark V2 and the new V3 line of gaming headsets—from sparkling new drivers to super-speedy low-latency connections—but the thing that really jumps out to me is the fact that it’s wireless from top to bottom. Once, it was just the Pro version that got the wireless treatment at launch,…
Every time I feel like I’m getting a handle on the growth-based nature of capitalism—the idea that the number has to go up, and simply making a profit isn’t enough, yadda yadda—a stat in an earnings report clocks me over the head and uproots me from whatever mooring I thought I had. For example, did…
It’s been one week since the UK government introduced its Online Safety Act, legislation that requires people to provide age verification in order to access content that is adult-related. Two surveys conducted before and after the rules came into place, by a research and data analysis group, suggest that a significant portion of the British…
