To pay for an MMO subscription is to unfortunately know that you will eventually have to pay more than you’d like to because prices never go down, now do they. Today, the MMO in question is RuneScape, with Jagex announcing an increase for both monthly and yearly subscriptions, the second price increase in under two years. Before, you’d be paying $14 a month if you were paying month to month, but that’s now going up by a whole dollar to $15. If you’re someone that opts for a 12 month membership, that’s now gone up from $99.48 to…
How many acts are there in Slay the Spire 2? If you’re working your way through the acts in Slay the Spire 2, you might be wondering just how many there are to go before you reach the end. The original game featured a fourth act that was only accessible if you collected several items throughout your ascent through the Spire. During your time in Slay the Spire 2, it’s worth keeping an eye out for these events and items that appear throughout each act, such as the Byrdonis Egg, Lantern Key, and the Colossal Flower event that nets you…

Peter Moore is one of the most memorable executives the game industry has ever seen. He presided over the Dreamcast at Sega of America and the Xbox at Microsoft and helped stoke the fires of the console wars. We still debate whether that tattoo was real to this day, but Moore’s final stop in the game industry is perhaps the most notable. He did, after all, lead the sports division of EA during the span when the publisher was voted the Worst Company in America in 2012 and 2013.”We were voted, two years in a row, the Worst Company in…
Video games are weird little things. It’s pretty rare for films to get scrapped part way through production, even if these days some production companies opt to use even finished projects as tax write offs. But games can frequently get canned, disappear for a bit, and even return after many years of silence. Enter SiN Reloaded, the Nightdive-made remaster of the classic boomer shooter, that is alive once more! Back in 2023, Nightdive essentially parked SiN Reloaded due to other projects they were tackling at the time, promising that the remaster wasn’t dead, and that it was just…
When is The Blood of Dawnwalker release date estimate? The action RPG is in development by Rebel Wolves, the studio co-founded by Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, director of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. It was announced on the day of the Wolf Moon, and rather fittingly follows the rise of a powerful clan of vampires in an alternative 14th century. Set during a time of devastation, this vampire game is a supernatural slant on the events of the plague. Vampires lurk in the darkness, biding their time until the Black Death takes hold of the land, when they seize the opportunity to…

Unless the gods of mythology take pity on you like they did Pygmalion, whose ivory sculpture came to lovely life, it’s rare that work ever truly cares about you as much as you worship it. 55-year games industry innovator Don Daglow gave this advice to other developers during his recent panel at the 2026 Game Developers Conference (GDC), where he’ll be collecting a Lifetime Achievement Award. Instead, he tells his peers to respect the craft as much as the reward.”Games are a business, and right now, for the last few years, it has not been a good time,” says Daglow…
The everything but the kitchen sink RPG Crimson Desert is finally out in a little over a week, but those of us in the realm of personal computers have been left wondering what it is exactly we’ll need to run the thing (I’m sure those flashy particle effects take their toll). Well, wonder no longer, intrepid Crimson Deserter, Pearly Abyss have released the PC specs you’ll need to be sporting to get this thing running. No matter what settings you play on, there’s three things you’ll need for sure: 16GB of RAM, Windows 10 or newer, and 150GB…
Back in my day, Runescape was the value king when it came to membership. For a fraction of the cost of what World of Warcraft demanded, you could delve into everything Gielinor had to offer. What’s more, you could run it on your dad’s old Dell, no graphics card required. While Old School Runescape still works fine on any old potato or toaster, as of Jagex’s freshly-announced price rise for its premium subscription, I now find myself facing down a reality I hitherto could never fathom: OSRS, at least here in merry old England, is now more expensive per-month than…
