Reader, I used to worry about being insufficiently cool. I no longer have that albatross around my neck, because no matter how cool I get, I will never be cooler than Rebounder – “a precision platformer set in a four-ink, pulp-print world”, created by ATOMIK devs Thirtythree Games, which makes me think of the Mega Drive’s awesome Comix Zone. It casts you as a 2D astronaut who gets around by grabbing, hurling and ‘rebounding’ from explosive alien spores.
Hytale founder Simon Collins-Laflamme has addressed the thorny topic of paid mods for the up-and-coming sandbox game, aiming to strike a balance of supporting mod makers without a negative impact on the player experience. He lays out the current intention of Hypixel Studios, which is to keep mods featured in-game free to install with “no price tags in the browsing experience,” while considering longer-term ways to allow people to support their favorite creators. Given that Hypixel Studios was originally built as a Minecraft modding community, it should come as no surprise that Hytale mods are at the forefront of the…
Xbox CEO Asha Sharma is now addressing reports of major leadership changes at the publisher which see some of her past colleagues at Instacart, Meta, and Microsoft’s own CoreAI product stepping in as two 24-year veterans leave their positions. Sharma explains this executive overhaul – Xbox’s second upheaval since February, if you count Sharma’s own appointment – is only a part of Xbox’s metamorphosis, as Microsoft also prepares to scale down its Copilot AI assistant.Like Google’s Gemini and other, increasingly intrusive AI bots, Copilot is accessible through most Microsoft products, including as a phone app, and Xbox announced in March…
The Outer Worlds. It’s a game I haven’t thought about much since reviewing The Outer Worlds 2 last year, and it’s just gotten its first patch in about three years. That’s because Obsidian are planning to delist its base version from storefronts at the end of this month, leaving the more polished Spacer’s Choice edition as the definitive Outer Worlds going forwards. They’re also adding grenades to it, as an apparent make good aimed at pyromaniacs.
As someone who regularly uses their computer as a TV PC, the new Steam Controller looked like the answer to my prayers, finally allowing me to replace both my DualSense controller and mini multimedia keyboard with one device. After spending the past two weeks with Valve’s new controller, I think this device has so much potential, but it’s held back by unintuitive software. What makes the Valve’s controller so appealing is the trackpads, which essentially act as a mouse and keyboard. The trackpads are far more accurate for desktop browsing compared to a joystick, with the left trackpad dedicated to…
Daredevil: Born Again season 2 may have come to an end, but the cameras are currently rolling on Daredevil: Born Again season 3. The explosive second season truly ended with a bang, leaving us wondering the heck is going to happen to our favorite vigilante.We won’t have too long to wait for season 3, as Disney has already given us an expected release date… and it looks like we’ll continue to have a few more leaked set photos to tide us over in the meantime. Consider this your hub for all things Daredevil: Born Again season 3, as we’ve got…
Unknown Worlds have released the PC system requirements for Subnautica 2, the ocean exploration and survival game hitherto defined by extravagant legal clashes between publishers Krafton and certain ousted and/or reinstated UW executives. I fear they are going to make you cry. The system specs, not the executives.
A massive new Sins of a Solar Empire 2 update makes wide-reaching changes across the entire space strategy game, but I’m most pleased by Stardock’s decision to strip out the AI-generated art that was leaving an unpleasant taste on the rest of the experience. The huge ‘UI Horizons’ overhaul offers dramatic redesigns to the front-end menus, helping you better set up your next adventure. It also includes the much-requested return of an in-game map editor, modding improvements, improved enemy AI, and new defensive tools for all three factions. Sins of a Solar Empire 2 is a very robust sequel to…
Daredevil: Born Again season 2 may have come to an end, but that doesn’t mean it’s all over for the Man Without Fear. The explosive finale saw things to come to a head for Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk, and it seems like things may have changed for good in Hell’s Kitchen.In short, a lot went down in the Daredevil: Born Again season 2 ending, which means that you might have some unanswered questions. We get into it all right here, from a breakdown of the plot to details on post-credits scenes and season 3.Look no further for your complete…
Due to work and a press trip, I am still only half way through redecorating the kitchen. The walls are now a lovely shade of terracotta, but dust sheets cover the floor, there are no doors on the cabinets, and paint pots and stained brushes litter the room. I just want to cook a meal on the hob. A single delicious hot meal. Alas, I am at a wedding this weekend and so the kitchen remains in limbo. Enough of my decorating doldrums. This is what the rest of the team are up to. JamesI quite like the look of…
