When it comes to ultimate sim racing immersion, the tippity-top of racing wheel tech is widely considered to be direct drive. Attaching a wheel directly to a powerful electric motor results in instantaneous and highly-detailed feedback, the sort you’d receive if you really were at the helm of a fearsome, fire-breathing speed machine. Trouble is,…
We all have that moment when our eyes are opened to the hijinks made possible by proximity chat. For me, it was the night some guy in DayZ drove a truck through the town I was looting while screaming at the top of his lungs, the volume gradually rising and falling as he disappeared over…

I didn’t think there was any way birdwatching could become fear-inducing, but Birds Watching proved me very wrong. Instead of the relaxing walking simulator you’d expect from a game primarily about watching the birds, it keeps you nervous: looking over your shoulder at all times in case some towering monster is lurking behind you.

Giving up freedoms and privacy for a mirage of promised safety is very 1990s-coded. So, with this in mind, it seems like an apt moment to talk about Ricochet’s continued struggles with the 1991 period piece Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.
