Unity has not been having the greatest time in recent years, much of which is down to its former CEO John Riccitiello. Calling developers “fucking idiots” didn’t seem a wise move when your business depends on, erm, developers, but that was nothing next to Unity’s plans for a mooted runtime fee that would see game…
If you have a designated co-op buddy, you need to be playing the We Here Here series. I’ve been calling them some of the best co-op games for years and it continues to be true, especially today as the developer Total Mayhem Games has stealth launched another game in the series—for free, if you claim…
For decades, videogames based on comics licenses have struggled with the perception of being low-quality licensed cash-ins. But over the past six or seven years that perception has begun to shift, helped in large part to the explosive critical and commercial success of the Batman Arkham series developed by Rocksteady and published by Warner Bros….
Hey, Traveler! You’ve been exploring No Man’s Sky’s quintillions of planets for a while now (almost 10 years, if you can believe it). You’ve dug holes in those planets, exploited their resources, built bases and settlements on them, and spent hours either killing their lifeforms or taming and riding them. Did you ever think about,…
Along with the promise that its next generation Arrow Lake desktop CPUs will be coming to market in the second half of 2024, Intel also announced that another new architecture will arrive this year, too.

Open world survival RPG Kenshi can be cruel, especially in the early hours. As our reviewer put it back in 2018, “basic survival plans can be easily derailed by a city guard who plants drugs on you then demands money you don’t have, or by finding yourself deep in a region inhabited by vicious alien…
Two months ago, the internet gathered around and informally crowned Marvel Rivals as the new popular hero shooter of note. I’m having lots of fun with it, but its rule-breaking heroes and experimental abilities have kept a question nagging in my noggin: Why isn’t Overwatch 2 trying anything like this? Well, now it is. In…
I keep a pretty close eye on all the games Hollywood is turning into movies, and I’m well aware that just because a development deal is struck doesn’t mean a film will ever get made. Take the Just Cause movie, which was announced way back in 2011 and still hasn’t materialized, or the Beyond Good…
I’ve owned an awful lot of ethernet cables in my life, in all sorts of colors. Black, blue, white, grey, yellow, green… even brown and red, I’m pretty sure. If you asked me what’s the most common ethernet cable color outside black and white, I’d probably go with blue—but this weekend I learned that when…
(Image credit: Future) Robots are just PCs that can walk around, and these days they’re doing a lot more than just going for a stroll. Christopher Livingston doesn’t trust them, not one bit, and is reporting on their movements monthly. Here at Clanker Watch we’re keeping a close eye on the burgeoning age of robotics,…
