Wolfhound is a game that I’ve kept my eyes on for quite some time, listing it on both our 2025 and 2026 most anticipated lists. While an exact release date for this retro-inspired indie is still forthcoming, indications hint that it may arrive at the tail end of this year, and a build that I’ve recently played provided more reasons to be excited. The sophomore effort from indie developer Bit Kit, Wolfhound is similar to Metroid, but with a solid helping of Wolfenstein thrown into the mix. You play a WWII all-American captain named Chuck Rosetti who’s sent to investigate…
Valve’s new Steam Machine was originally slated for an early 2026 launch. The little black cube, which is a compact gaming PC that runs SteamOS, has been a project at Valve since 2013, but it’s only now that the company feels they have both the software and hardware to make it truly viable. It’s no surprise, then, that anticipation for the Steam Machine is high, but early 2026 has come and gone, and there’s no sign of a launch yet, as multiple issues are causing delays. Speaking about the Steam Machine, Valve UX designer Lawrence Yang, who worked on the…
If you thought Mortal Kombat was just about colorful characters butchering each other in all manner of bloody and brutal ways, think again. Mortal Kombat 2 features a drastically different take on fan-favorite characters Kitana and Jade, with the former the revenge-fuelled beating heart of the blockbuster sequel.Though a follow-up to 2021’s Mortal Kombat, with many returning cast members, Mortal Kombat 2 is something of a creative reset for the series (one star even considers the first film a “prequel” to the main event), with Adeline Rudolph’s Kitana at the center of the fight for supremacy between the champions of…
Horizon Hunters Gathering continues to be a game with a name that has quite odd mouthfeel (I want to say it like Horizon Hunters: Gathering when it should be like Horizon: Hunters Gathering (Guerilla Games this is my request to start using colons in the Horizon series, please and thank you)). It also continues to be a game that isn’t out yet, but you will have another opportunity to try it out later this month. As shared over on the PlayStation Blog, this next playtest will take place between May 22nd and 25th. It’ll once again be a closed…
I’m always willing to try out some funky build in League of Legends – AP Twitch, if you can consider that an alternate build, is a personal favorite of mine. Being able to throw my Venom Cask into a crowded teamfight and watch everyone disappear never gets old, and because the play rate is much lower than the ADC version, I always get the sense that nobody knows how to deal with me. When Riot recently opened the door to alternative builds for other characters, it piqued my interest. Adding decent AP scaling to Ezreal, in theory, meant that he…
Following comments from star Jamie Lee Curtis that the show is set to end after season 5, The Bear has a surprise-dropped a special episode starring and co-written by Jon Bernthal and Ebon Moss-Bachrach.Per Variety, the episode, titled ‘Gary,’ follows Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) and Mikey (Jon Bernthal) in a flashback that sees them taking a work trip to Gary, Indiana. The episode focuses on “the two friends’ complicated relationship, uncovering new layers of Mikey’s mental state while offering crucial insight into the man Richie is when audiences first meet him in Season 1, adding emotional context that reframes their story…
At this point in time, even if Tango Gameworks were ultimately saved, there’s no telling when we might get a new Hi-Fi Rush game. I’d like it to be soon! That thing is the definition of a perfect 7/10 (I will not be reading any commentary on this oxymoronic statement). Alas, I shall have to continue waiting, but there seems to be a solid entry in the action rhythm genre out today in early access in the form of Dead as Disco. You’d be forgiven for thinking that this is some kind of Suda51 joint off the cuff.…
Meet the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Omni, the new not-quite-flagship headset from SteelSeries. Taking the fantastic and hugely popular Arctis Nova Pro and cranking things up a notch, the Nova Omni adds full console compatibility – no need to choose Xbox or PS5 – improved sound quality, and a better mic to this wireless gaming headset, all while retaining the swappable batteries and generally fantastic design of the Nova Pro. I say “not-quite-flagship” as the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Elite is SteelSeries’ current top-of-the-line option, with its premium build materials and carbon fibre speaker drivers. The new Nova Omni, then, slips in…
The Boys series finale is headed to theaters for a special, uh, sensory experience.Rather than screen in IMAX, The Boys season 5 episode 8 will be available in 4DX theaters across the United States and Canada. Per an official press release, 4DX “pushes movie-going boundaries through a multi-sensory experience that incorporates motion-based seating synchronized with more than 21 different effects.”Basically, your seat will move, you’ll feel wind when Supes are flying, and you’ll feel your face get wet when someone gets absolutely slaughtered on screen. As someone who grew up with the Shrek 4D ride at Universal Studios and thoroughly…
A slightly strange aspect of Crimson Desert thus far has been that the more you get through it, the more enemies you beat, and the less enemies you actually have to fight. It’s been a contentious point for some who want to test out their buff boy end-game builds and only have hot air to slice at. All is not lost, however! As the latest update for the RPG has introduced some handy features that will let you experiment with these builds. First up is the addition of a Rematch feature. This is exactly what it sounds like,…
