Moon Beast have released a pre-alpha demo for their action-RPG Darkhaven. You know, the one from the former Blizzard North devs, which harkens back to Diablo 2 while stirring in a dynamic world and terrain destruction reminiscent of Minecraft. I did a big interview feature about it. Now, you can play a very early build and decide whether I’ve been quaffing the Kool Aid. I spent an hour with a Darkhaven build myself last week, and while it’s got a long way to go, I did have fun. It’s very Diablo, with familiar red and blue health and…
In many of the biggest, most popular games and series, we’re starting to see AI-generated or AI-assisted assets slowly creep in. Call of Duty’s calling cards, for example, or Arc Raiders’ text-to-speech system for generating dialog. While there’s always some level of pushback and disgruntlement, there’s a growing amount of acceptance or indifference to it as well. It seems that the EA Sports FC series has jumped on the wagon too, with iconic soccer commentator and FC 26 star Guy Mowbray giving EA permissions to use an AI version of his voice to generate new lines of commentary. This has…
When Tord Reklev talks, Pokémon Trading Card Game players listen.Tord Reklev is widely accepted as being one of the best Pokémon TCG players ever. He’s a 5-time International champion, with 14 top-8 finishes to his name, and 18 top-8 finishes at the Regional tier of competition.His name has dominated the last 15 years of competitive Pokémon, and he’s influencing the future, too. This year’s winning deck, played by Dutch player Edwyn Mesman, was described by the commentators as “from the mind of Tord Reklev.”Last weekend, during Pokémon’s biggest tournament of all time, VGC spoke to Reklev after he’d finished playing…
It’s been four years since we’ve seen Luke Skywalker, and it’s fair to say that Star Wars fans are not taking it well. They’re so desperate to see the Force-wielding hero, in fact, that they’ve started plotting ways in which he could realistically return… from an animated series to recasting Mark Hamill.”It’s absolutely crazy that it’s been over a decade since The Force Awakens and the most we’ve seen of Luke’s Jedi Temple was one episode of a Boba Fett spinoff,” one took to Reddit to note, prompting replies about what a “damn shame” it is that the character has…
Battlefield 6’s Season 2 thunders onto PC today, a three-month festival of Battlefoolery that begins with a new map, Contaminated, new modes for the Redsec battle royale component, a dinky yet deadly helicopter, and some new guns and gadgets. The EA shooter’s Steam playerbase has slumped following its chart-topping release last year, but don’t worry, ye Battlefaithful, because Season 2 has officially recaptured my interest by filling my lungs with psychoactive vapours. In new limited-time mode VL-7 Strike, available in regular multiplayer and Redsec, you must wear a gas mask and replenish its filters to avoid falling victim to…
Verdict MSI’s most powerful gaming laptop takes the crown as the fastest we’ve tested when it comes to game frame rates. It’s also mighty powerful for other tasks too, thanks to its 16-core AMD CPU and 64GB of RAM. Its 18-inch, 120Hz, 4K+, miniLED screen also looks fantastic and is backed by good speakers and plenty of connections. This large laptop also runs relatively cool and quiet. Its price is high, though, plus its styling is a bit underwhelming and its keyboard a bit disappointing. Pros The fastest gaming laptop we’ve tested Superb-quality display Runs relatively cool and quiet Price…

Original Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe has one request to help the new actors in the HBO adaptation settle into their magical roles.After discussing calls to protect the new Harry Potter actors from outside noise in an interview with Screen Rant, Radcliffe commented, “If everyone really means that… one of the things you can do is not ask [them] about us – me, Emma [Watson], and Rupert [Grint] – all the time. I would like not to be some weird spectral phantom in these children’s lives.”Radcliffe added, “It’s going to be a new thing, it’s going to be a different…
Amid soaring SSD prices, slower-but-cheaper mechanical hard drives may have offered an attractive reprieve for anyone wanting to embiggen their PC storage on a – and I know it’s increasingly difficult to use this word without breaking down into desperate laugh-crying – budget. Unfortunately, that probably ain’t happening either, as leading HDD manufacturers Western Digital and Seagate have both revealed that they’ve already sold “pretty much” all of their mechanical drive stock that was allocated for 2026.
Is Marathon on Game Pass? Following in the footsteps of live service shooters like Helldivers 2, hopping into Marathon is going to set you back a few bucks. If you’re already subscribed to Microsoft’s Game Pass service, then you’re presumably here in the hopes that you won’t have to shell out any more of your hard-earned cash. Marathon only looks better and better with each new glimpse we get of Bungie’s revamped extraction-based FPS game. It’s certainly come a long way from its 2025 closed alpha, and is on course to land as one of this year’s best shooters. Ahead…
