Professor Charles Anthony Richard Hoare, known as Tony to friends, has died at the age of 92. One of the greatest programmers in the early history of computing, he invented the Quicksort algorithm after a bet with his boss, later devised Hoare logic (a system for rigorously assessing the correctness of a program), and was…
Did anyone else just have an off night in Marathon? Mine was a bloodbath: nonstop fights, third-party ambushes, and sneaky Assassin solos sending me back to the menu. While I’m happy to chalk that up to the random nature of competitive FPSes, matchmaking working itself out, and generally not being good at Marathon, I hadn’t…

Ark 2, starring Vin Diesel, was first revealed by Studio Wildcard way back in 2020, planned for a release in 2022. Long story short: Ark 2 is now coming in 2028. But I’ve had some questions on my mind for the past, oh, six years or so, about Vin Diesel’s involvement in Ark 2, especially…
We said last year, while comparing the Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch 2, that one of the few advantages the Switch 2 has on the games front is exclusive access to Bravely Default Flying Fairy HD Remaster. Well, you can strike that one off the list, because it just shadow-dropped—out of nowhere, no warning, today,…

If you do have your hand raised, I imagine you likely already…
Indie deckbuilder All Will Rise is, as Andy Chalk wrote last year, “clearly a game with something to say”. The deckbuilding RPG is particularly interested in the rich and powerful, and getting revenge on the billionaires destroying the world.
