You can now play Counter-Strike 1.6 in VR thanks to the modders who already gave Half-Life and Doom the same treatment
When dabbling in any of the titles on our best FPS games list, the goal is to feel locked-in and immersed. You want to feel the bright-white flash and piercing ring of a flashbang, the satisfaction of a long-range snipe, or the sensation of flicking onto the cranium of an opposing player. Virtual reality attempts to increase your immersion, but transplanting a competitive experience into a headset is a real challenge. That hasn’t stopped a team of modders from porting one of the greatest shooters of all time to VR, and the timing seems apt given Valve’s Steam Frame is…

Despite being twice the size of Hades, Hades 2 spent half as long in Steam Early Access because its devs already knew "what needed to be in" it
Hades 2 creative director Greg Kasavin has explained how Hades 2 spent less time in Early Access than its predecessor, despite being a far bigger game.As Supergiant Games’ first sequel, it was unexpected to see Hades 2 follow up the previous game by launching first into Early Access before a full launch followed. Hades dropped in December 2018 and took just under two years before it was released in September 2020, while Hades 2 arrived in September 2025, a year and four months after its Early Access launch.Speaking to GamesRadar+, Kasavin was asked how Supergiant managed to double the size…
You can eat rats and unicorns in lip-smacking autobattler Dunderbeck, and I absolutely refuse to play the demo
You cannot pet the dog in Dunderbeck, but you can assuredly eat the unicorn. Just drag its corpse over the puckering mouth on the righthand side. Alternatively, you can chuck the dead unicorn into the mincers on the left and combine the resulting horny horsemeat with other sources of… nutrition, such as rainbow-coloured turds and spoons. I do not know what foodstuffs might result. I refuse to play Dunderbeck’s demo. I watched 20 seconds of the trailer, then spent the next ten minutes brushing my teeth. Here you go.
Hytale's mammoth pre-orders have covered "the next two years of development," proving the Minecraft challenger is really here to stay
As I write this, we’re about 24 hours away from Hytale’s debut. Once a custom Minecraft server, it’s on a quest to also become one of the best building games ever made, sporting a similar appearance and sandbox approach but with a greater focus on fantasy adventuring and being an even more versatile experience for modders and creators. Squaring up to Minecraft, though, is a tall order, but the Hytale hype has been strong enough that I’ve always felt it had a chance. However, I’m now more confident than ever, based on new information from Hypixel Studios’ founder, who says…

Hideo Kojima has "always had a lot of bad dreams," and one nightmare included "voluptuous nude women," reanimated "decomposing bodies," and a very impolite coach
Hideo Kojima is a mastermind of creativity – even if he claims it’s nothing special, the guy has a lot of wild ideas, and those apparently don’t stop even when he’s asleep.Writing on Twitter, Kojima reveals he’s stumbled across “a nightmarish memo” of a bad dream he had in early 2017. The Death Stranding creator says he’s “always had a lot of bad dreams,” and someone once suggested that he keep a dream diary. While “the nightmares didn’t stop, and I eventually gave up,” he’s now shared an example of one of them.In the dream, Kojima moves alone “to some…
The Division: Definitive Edition looks like it may be a thing, assuming this poster in Japan's the real deal
A poster advertising a definitive edition of Tom Clancy’s The Division appears to have been spotted by folks attending a Ubisoft-run eSports event in Japan. At least, that’s assuming this isn’t some elaborate ruse designed to draw in spies from other game studios, while only Jack Ryan can see what’s truly going on.
