Whenever I read the news to see what’s going on in the world of cybersecurity and internet privacy, I find out loads of heinously depressing stuff. It genuinely feels like it’s only a matter of time before I write about Google launching a subscription service so that you can pay to avoid it extracting your soul through your smartphone. Today, though, I have some good news for you – even if I’m not going to encourage anyone to cancel their VPN subscriptions just yet. So, what’s up? Well, believe it or not, the good news actually comes from America for…
Asus, Lenovo, MSI, and Alienware have all packed up the gaming laptops they’ve been displaying on the CES showfloor all week, but some machines have been suspiciously absent. The Razer Blade wasn’t featured once at CES 2026, in either its 14-inch, 16-inch, or 18-inch form factor.That’s a bizarre twist. Vegas’s January show is normally the gunshot at the start of the race, the CES showfloor acting as a starting line for the best gaming laptops of the year before they make their way to the shelves in the spring. And yet Razer’s still in the locker room.While the 2025 Razer…
Wizard Pool! It is, probably, exactly what you think it is. You are a wizard, and you play pool. Well, admittedly there is a smidge more to it than that, alongside a healthy amount of charm. Styled in a way that looks like an N64 game in the kind of way you remember that era looking rather than how it actually looked, you play as Kue, a budding young wizard tasked by his uncle to complete a trial in the form of a tower filled with magical, illogical pool tables. The tutorial levels are simple enough, giving you…
The first game may have had a few issues, but in my personal opinion, Code Vein remains one of the best soulslikes for its style alone. Before Elden Ring and the later titles it inspired took the world by storm, it was a daring attempt at an anime-infused action RPG, but with combat that flowed as much as the blood in the game does. Code Vein 2 looks like it’s going to have even more unique offerings, and right now, you can pre-order it at a brilliant discount before launch. With the same tantalizingly dark atmosphere that games like Bloodborne…
Final Fantasy 7 definitely has more spin-offs and peripheral vignettes than any other game in the storied series, by far, and grappling with the decades of additional lore was a major consideration for the developers of the ongoing Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy.The remade trilogy’s director, Naoki Hamaguchi, spoke about balancing the jenga tower of new and old stories in an interview with GamerBraves. “Even from members such as creative director [Tetsuya] Nomura and producer [Yoshinori] Kitase, they didn’t just want to make a remake,” he said. “They wanted to make a story that could include the compilation of the…
Late last year, RocketWerkz shared the first details of Kitten Space Agency – a spaceship engineering management game from a team including the original developer of Kerbal Space Program, which aims to fill the sparking void left by the downfall (or is it?) of Kerbal Space Program 2. Aside from introducing feline astronauts, the game runs on a new engine that can support a fancier and more consistent physics simulation. It looks like catnip for Kerbollards (TM), though I have some broad reservations about the project’s use of new community-funding platform Ahwoo. Among those working on Kitten…
How do Hytale mods work? The Minecraft mod community is perhaps one of the biggest around, with new mods still arriving on a daily basis, over ten years since the blocky sandbox game’s initial release. From subtle aesthetic changes to full-on gameplay mods, you can find it all, so of course, the question of how Hytale mods work surrounds the release of the unofficial Minecraft spin-off. Hytale comes from the creators of the immensely popular Hypixel Minecraft server, and maintains the block-game look and style the team is already used to working with. As such, the comparisons to games like…
He might be praying to the Allfather for a hand in the recent Avengers: Doomsday trailer, but Chris Hemsworth is certainly keeping his cool in the new trailer for director Bart Layton’s upcoming thriller, Crime 101.The new movie, which seems to be matching the temperature of films like Heat and The Town, is adapted from a Don Winslow novella set in Los Angeles. Hemsworth takes the lead as a top-tier criminal who regularly leaves the law in the dust and plans to keep it that way for the final job he has lined up. As is customary for every thief’s…
I think as long as you make a new year’s update post before the incredibly arbitrary date of January 13th, you’re still able to do so without me thinking “come on, it’s almost February”, which is exactly what EA did with their new years Sims update post. Perhaps reassuringly, after word came last year of EA’s concerning acquisition, the post opens by doubling down on what the team has previously said regarding staying committed to their values (those values including inclusivity is welcome though I wish they’d be more explicit about who is being included). But the post also,…
With GTA 6 currently scheduled for November and unlikely to see a PC release this year, we’ve had to turn back to the classics to scratch the Rockstar itch, and Red Dead Redemption 2 has delivered. In what’s been dubbed the ‘Spider Dream Mystery,’ or simply the spiderweb easter egg, one off-hand discovery has sent the community spiraling down a bizarre rabbit hole that only continues to stretch out as the days roll on. Personally, I’ll take any excuse to revisit one of the best open-world games ever made, but this particular thread has continued to surprise me as more…
