The winds were in favor for Starfield to be another generational RPG from the genre titans at Bethesda – industry maestro Todd Howard was in charge, it had an enormous budget with most estimates tripling that of Skyrim’s, and the developers had more time to work on it than any previous Bethesda title – but there’s no denying that its legacy pales in comparison to games like Skyrim, Oblivion, and Morrowind.Former Bethesda loremaster and Skyrim co-lead designer Kurt Kuhlmann, who was around until about the time Starfield released, says that’s because Bethesda Game Studios simply got too big for lead…

It’s no secret that Steam dwarfs the Epic Games Store when it comes to the amount of purchases and the number of active users. Epic’s never been shy of that fact. The company’s CEO, Tim Sweeney, has been equally unshy about criticizing some of Valve’s practices. Now, in the process of acknowledging how making a game free on EGS for a week increases sales on other platforms, including Steam, Sweeney appears to have taken a rather fierce jab at Valve boss Gabe Newell. This all began last week following comments made by David Oshry, the CEO of New Blood Interactive.…

’90s kids, it’s time to pour yourselves a champagne glass full of the finest orange soda, because Nickelodeon superstars Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell have a new movie in the works, and it’s even weirder than their usual hilarious absurdity – because they’re meeting Frankenstein (or more accurately, Frankenstein’s monster).Kenan and Kel announced the movie themselves while Mitchell was filling in as a guest host on Good Sports, Thompson’s podcast which is usually co-hosted by Kevin Hart. As one might imagine, the film is simply titled Kenan and Kel Meet Frankenstein, and that is also the entire plot.”Delivery drivers Kenan…

One of the big focuses of Razer’s slew of gaming gear announcements from the recent CES tech trade show was its use of AI. From an AI gaming headset to AI game assistants and AI game development tools, it covered a wide variety of approaches to using the new technology. Now, in a recent interview, the company’s CEO claims that gamers should be celebrating the potential role of AI in game development. As a maker of some of the best gaming mice, keyboards, laptops, and more, Razer is certainly well placed to make a judgment call on how AI is…

In player discussions of free loadouts in Arc Raiders, which are treated as an essential mechanic by some people and the devil incarnate by others, two solutions to this perceived scourge are often proposed. Developer Embark could guarantee that players using free loadouts spawn late into active raids, or the devs could offer exclusive raids with a minimum gear value to weed out the dreaded frees. I discussed the feedback on late spawns in Arc Raiders with design lead Virgil Watkins, and I also wanted to get his take on the idea of premium or high-value raids that function like…

I didn’t really go into MIO: Memories in Orbit expecting much. I didn’t play the demo, nor did I even know it existed until it was released this week. However, I was instantly captivated by the art style, and even though there are a couple of issues that keep it from reaching Hollow Knight Silksong levels of quality, it’s one of the most beautiful Metroidvania games I’ve ever played, and you can grab it at a great discount at launch. MIO: Memories in Orbit puts you in the shoes of the titular Mio, a nimble little robot that awakens in…

With the drop of a new patch, Funcom has finally given Dune: Awakening players a feature they’ve been asking for for months: character transfers.The new feature is the big highlight of the new 1.2.40.0 update, with Funcom saying in the patch notes: “you can now transfer your character, inventory, backed-up bases and vehicles, and bank contents (including your Solari) to a new Sietch and World.”Dune: Awakening came out in June 2025, and it wasn’t long before people started to look for ways to move their character over to a new server, typically because their current server gradually lost players and…

If you find Darkwood too dark, perhaps you will like I Hate This Place, an isometric (is it, tho?) survival horror based on the comic book of the same name from Kyle Starks and Artyom Topilin. I Hate This Place is dark – it has hungry tentacle nests, antlered stalkers, and spiders of many sizes – but going by the trailer, at least, it’s nothing like as harrowing and hollowing as the Acid Wizard game. The colours are bright and splashy, the munsters, funky: think Stranger Things. It occurs to me that we need a thematic darkness scale…
