At first glance, Motion Twin’s acclaimed roguelike platformer Dead Cells could be accused of being a little light on content – just a handful of ‘biomes’ and four bosses to master. Yet somehow the plucky French studio turned in 2018’s premier time-sink – a game that grabs you from the get-go and refuses to let…
Catching up with Keychron’s CEO, Nick Xu, at Computex today, it wasn’t just carbon fiber keyboard concepts that caught my eye, it was a set of new mouse switches, and even a wee tease of something just over the horizon. Keychron originally unveiled its new MagOptic switches a month ago, showing off a new type…
Top Deal: Windows 10 is peeking around the corner and ready to pounce once July 29 rolls around. Of course, if you’re running Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, you can upgrade for free, otherwise you’ll need to fork over funds for a license. Even so, that doesn’t mean you have to pay full price. Instead,…
The Nacon Revolution 5 Pro gaming controller takes a lot of queues from the Microsoft Elite Series 2, both aesthetically and in terms of its key features. There are a few main differences between the two. It’s important to consider Nacon’s alignment with PlayStation as opposed to Xbox, so it’s not the most direct comparison…
Hey Xbox Insiders! We have a new Xbox Update Preview coming to the Beta ring. It’s important we note that some updates made in these preview OS builds include background improvements that ensure a quality and stable build for Xbox consoles. We continue to post these release notes, even when the noticeable changes to the…
Tune-a fish. After last week’s Splatoon 3 music shenanigans (in which Nintendo uploaded and removed one track only to quickly replace it with another), you might assume that there would be a short break before we heard any more tunes from the Splatlands. But you would be wrong! This is Splatoon that we’re talking about,…
Maybe it’s just years and years of games like Fallout and Dying Light and Metro, plus a few decades of movies like Mad Max that take place after some civilization-shattering calamity… but I’m just a bit burned out on post-apocalyptic wastelands. Bleak, barren landscapes. Ruined buildings and rusted metal. Grubby survivors wearing tattered clothes. I’ve…
It’s rude to stare, but I’ll make an exception if you’re looking for Stareweed in 99 Nights in the Forest. You’ll need it for making potions as part of the Halloween event, and while most ingredients are easy to find, this one isn’t so straightforward. Unlike the other event plants, you’ll have a few extra…
The months leading up to Modern Warfare 3 have slowly shown us how this year’s Call of Duty isn’t quite like the others. Nowhere has this become clearer than in the Modern Warfare 3 campaign, which some players are calling one of the worst of the series, and not for the usual reasons a CoD…
You may have heard of a little RPG series called Ultima, which was so successful in the ’80s and ’90s that series creator Richard Garriott earned enough money to travel to the bottom of the ocean and also the International Space Station. Part of the success of his game studio, Origin Systems, was due to…
