Steam Controller hype is building, as signs of the impending launch of Valve’s much-anticipated revival of one of its most-loved hardware launches have now been spotted twice in just a few days. Last week, we saw a huge shipment of “WIRELESS PC CONTROLLER[s]” delivered to Valve, and today, a listing for a Steam Controller unboxing video has been spotted on SteamDB. Not only are both of these Valve Steam Controller leaks in such quick succession, but both come from reputable sources. The Steam Controller shipment leak was based on publicly available shipping documents, while this fresh unboxing rumor comes from…

Final Fantasy 14 hasn’t exactly been in the best shape since Dawntrail – you know, with its “Mostly Negative” reviews nearly two years post-launch and all – and active player counts show as much, with numbers reportedly dropping.We can find these numbers in the unofficial census that Lucky Bancho, a fan who gathers all sorts of data from The Lodestone regularly, has put together on his online blog. Just two months ago, he noted a nice increase of 110,000 players, which brought the number of active folks from 820,000 to 930,000. It seemed like good news, potentially marking a turning…
Helldivers 2’s latest warbond is set to deliver two new exosuit stratagems, bringing a bit more variety to the robotic getups you can summon to help fight Super Earth’s enemy of the week. One’s the Helldivers 2 debut of a mech from the first game, while the other’s got a big shield. Unsurprisingly, the gear pack they’re part of is dubbed Exo Experts, and it’s set to arrive next week.
I’ll forgive you if you don’t know what a ‘condo’ is. In the real world, the term refers to a flat or apartment in a larger building. In Roblox, however, the term has taken on a completely different, darker meaning. Condos here are slang for games that involve sexual themes. These aren’t allowed on the platform, but poor moderation from the developer means that plenty of unsavory user-generated content slips past the automated filters. However, a recent ban has shown that this may be about to change. Roblox is the biggest sandbox game in the world, which is no surprise…

Hasbro has unveiled its latest Marvel Legends action figures, and Ultimate Wolverine is finally entering the fray. Revealed during the company’s latest live stream, this darker, alternate universe version of Weapon X is just one of seven new Marvel Legends action figures that are up for pre-order now (ranging from Alpha Flight team members to the first Robbie Reyes Ghost Rider). However, I’d argue Ultimate Wolverine is one of, if not the, most eye-catching.That black and red costume is phenomenally striking, and I say this as someone who’s not even a huge fan of the comic. Seeing it finally make…
