A look back at The Exorcist’s 50-year legacy, impact, and reputation as the scariest horror movie of all time.

CD PROJEKT RED announced recently that they've teamed up with Anonymous Content, to develop a live-action project set in the Cyberpunk 2077 universe.

Make way for his Badgesty. There are less than two weeks to go until we finally get our hands on the first original 2D Mario adventure in 11 years. It's an exciting time, especially for those who weren't fully sold on the presentation style of the New Super Mario Bros. series when it launched on DS way back in 2006. Super Mario Bros. Wonder, as you'll have no doubt gathered from our earlier hands-on impressions and videos, strikes out from the somewhat...well...overfa​miliar gameplay mechanics of...

There's a moment early on in Super Mario Wonder that genuinely surprised me. I laughed out loud. I was shocked, almost scandalised. I had run up to a pipe, right, these staples of every Mario game reaching back into the series first appearance. I thought I knew the deal. Some pipes are just obstacles. But some are hollow, and you can drop down inside them to find new areas. Not this one. This one - whisper it - moved. As I reached it, I must have pushed against it, and the pipe slid across the g...

An investigative report into the development of commercial and critical failure The Lord of the Rings: Gollum has revealed a number of struggles faced by developer Daedalic Entertainment. Gollum released in a rather sorry state in May earlier this year, and was heavily criticised for a lack of polish and technical issues. A statement attributed to Daedalic Entertainment and released on its social media one day after release apologised for the game's quality and stated the studio's commitment to ...

A new Flashback 2 story trailer has been released, setting up protagonist Conrad B. Hart's new conflict with the terrifying Morphs.

A short while after being made available as part of Xbox Game Pass, Gotham Knights looks set to make its arrival on Sony's subscription service, along with some suitably scary offerings for October. That's according to reliable leaker dealabs, which has revealed that PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium subscribers will soon get their hands on Gungrave G.O.R.E, Elite Dangerous, Dead Island Definitive Edition, Alien Isolation, Disco Elysium The Final Cut, The Dark Pictures: House of Ashes, Gotham K...

Where was this ability in Dark Souls?

It wasn't meant to be a duel to the death, but then an NPC stepped in.

It's a battle that was always going to get a little messy, but we didn't expect to see it peak so soon. Meta is not only gearing up for the release of the Meta Quest 3 headset this week, but it already has one eye on the future as it marks Apple's Vision Pro as a serious competitor.

If there's one genre that never ceases to lure me in, it's anime games. Characterized by gorgeous animated graphics and rosters of stunning yet also complex characters, games like Scarlet Nexus and Tales of Arise easily rank as some of my favorite PC games ever made. If you, like me, love colorful sci-fi worlds or epic fantasy adventures, then this Steam sale is music to your ears.

Logitech is no stranger to Star Wars peripherals, having released a gaming headset to coincide with the release of the brand-new season of The Mandalorian earlier this year. However, now the original trilogy is getting representation, with the release of the release of the G502 X Plus Millennium Falcon Edition gaming mouse, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of The Return of the Jedi.

Developers at Cyberpunk 2077 and Witcher 3 developer CD Projekt Red have formed a union. The union was formed in response to the company's three rounds of layoffs this year, as reported by Eurogamer. Polish Gamedev Workers Union founders Lev Ki and Paweł Myszka say that all necessary documentation has been submitted but that the union hasn't heard any response from CDPR management, according to the publication.  "We started talking about unionizing after the 2023 wave of layoffs when 9 percent o...

There's a side mission in Cyberpunk 2077 that involves abducting a notorious union-breaker. One wonders if any of the people who worked on that have joined the union founded by CD Projekt RED employees this month. The union is part of the larger Polish worker's organisation OZZ Inicjatywa Pracownicza, and comes in response to CD Projekt's firing around 100 employees in July due to "overstaffing". Its membership is anonymous and open to people in the industry who aren't employed by the Witcher an...

A skilled Tomb Raider fan has reimagined the series' second game as a 3D side-scroller. Created by Delca, who is also working on a Tomb Raider Legend demake, this side-scrolling adventure sees Lara making her way around the likes of Venice, the Great Wall of China and, of course, Croft Manor as she searches for the Dagger of Xian. However, this time she can only travel backwards and forwards. It is a rather incredible recreation, and one that clearly has a lot of love attached to it. As I said i...

Looking for your next game to pick up on Steam Deck? Valve continues to put hundreds of games through Deck Verified so here's some recent highlights of games that are now Verified.

Early work on Apple's second-generation Vision Pro headset focuses on reducing the device's size and weight, as well as an improved experience for users who need prescription lenses, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. In the latest edition of his "Power On" newsletter, Gurman explained that Apple's Vision Products Group has moved onto next-generation headset models and is considering several options, including lower-end and more powerful versions. The work, which remains early, seeks to make ...

Nvidia is rumored to be releasing a souped-up version of the RTX 4080 in early 2024. The new graphics card, likely called the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Ti, is the first news we've heard in a while pertaining to new additions to team green's current GPU generation.

A new BattleBit update is here to breathe even more life into the multiplayer shooter, as a new map, XP changes and a series of quality-of-life improvements come to the game. The 2.1.9 update comes at a time when BattleBit's player count is the lowest it's ever been, though, with the current player numbers around just 12.5% of what they were at launch, or roughly a 90% drop off.

Much as your CS2 fps is influenced by the settings you apply and the graphics card you use, the processor in your PC has a similar amount of sway. With this in mind, it turns out that AMD CPUs may be the chips of choice for those seeking to secure the highest frame rates (particularly those with 3D V-Cache). Strangely, though, it seems that efficiency cores are holding back out-of-the-box performance on Intel CPUs.

Featuring a mixture of real-time strategy, city-building, resource gathering and… medieval dinosaurs. Well then, that's definitely a unique mixture and Dinolords went right into my wishlist.

According to Reuters, OpenAI is exploring making its own artificial intelligence chips, even looking into an acquisition. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman previously blamed GPU shortages for users’ concerns regarding the company API’s speed and reliability, leading to these moves. OpenAI using its own chips could reduce its costs too. Based on analysis by Bernstein Research, each ChatGPT query costs the company around four cents. At the moment, NVIDIA controls the market for chips that power AI application...

Apple often releases new Macs in the fall, but whether that will happen this year is far from certain. It's the second week of October now, and if Apple plans to launch Macs before the holidays, recent history suggests it will happen this month. Here's what we know so far. It's been over 120 days since Apple released a new Mac, the last being M2 versions of the Mac Pro, Mac Studio, and 15-inch MacBook Air, all of which arrived in June. Prior to that, in January, Apple released ‌M2‌ Pro and ‌M2‌ ...

Styled like the absolutely awesome Baba Is You, the short and free puzzler Trolley Delayma is out now and worth a go if you have 30 minutes to spare. Good for a Monday morning with a coffee to start your day.

The popular and positively rated turn-based post-apocalyptic roleplaying game ATOM RPG Trudograd has a big upgrade out now, making it much nicer for Steam Deck and Gamepad players.

Assassin's Creed Mirage might take Ubisoft's historical stabathon series back to basics, but there's a newer visual effect which players want rid of. The game's visual chromatic aberration effect is switched on by default and there's no way to turn it off - despite it being pronounced and sometimes quite distracting in certain areas. One of the first things I did when starting to play Mirage was look for some kind of slider or toggle to tune the effect (or just disable it completely). Alas, one ...

Just before the weekend hit Valve released SteamOS 3.4.11, which brings with it the Firmware 116 update that was previously only in the in-preview SteamOS 3.5.

Who could it be? Legendary game designer Masahiro Sakurai has teased an upcoming "special crossover" with an apparently well-known YouTube channel. In a post on Twitter, Sakurai confirmed that he will soon be playing "other" games via the planned collaboration (thanks, VGC), though details are scarce at the time of writing. Presumably, the word "other" probably means titles that Sakurai has not personally worked on during his career, though this is merely speculation on our part.

Fans of grassy stone megastructures, winding scholarly backstory, and dinky robot guys are in for a treat this week, as Croteam and Devolver Digital have released a demo for The Talos Principle 2, offering a "specially tailored" assortment of first-person puzzles and philosophical musings ahead of the game's November release.

Touchscreen Mac rumors are not new, but it turns out that neither are touchscreen Macs. In 1999, a company called Elo produced and sold touchscreen versions of the iMac G3 through Apple's Value Added Reseller program for use as kiosk machines, and YouTuber Michael MJD recently managed to get hold of one. The "ready-to-go tabletop kiosks" featured Elo's own iTouch touch-on-tube interface, which used surface acoustic waves instead of an overlay to detect where users touched the screen. You can see...

If you've been playing Baldur's Gate 3, you're likely to have missed out on a companion or two - as making certain decisions can affect who's available. Heavy spoilers for Baldur's Gate 3 are included in this article. One of the most missable companions is Minthara, who appears in Act 1 of the game. In normal circumstances, recruiting her means siding with the goblins and attacking Emerald Grove along with the refugee Tieflings that are staying there. However, this comes with some significant co...

A bakery in the States has used its artisanal skills to create a The Last of Us Clicker out of bread. Known as The Last of Crust, this sculpture by One House Bakery was cooked up by mother daughter duo Catherine and Hannalee Pervan as part of the Downtown Benicia Main Street's annual Scarecrow Contest. As reported by Eater San Francisco (via IGN), this event has also seen the skilled twosome come up with a range of Star Wars-themed crusty creations, with Pan Solo, Pain-dough-lorian, Baby Dough-d...

I really wanted to like The Lord of the Rings Gollum. While the premise was a little more obscure than other LotR games, the character's complexity and the advertised Smeagol vs Gollum system piqued my interest. However, Gollum's bizarre underground adventure failed to live up to expectations - something that its Steam player count reflects.

With the Minecraft Mob Vote incoming, which sees Mojang let players decide which of three mobs they’d like to see added to the game, a player-driven petition is gaining traction that wants Mojang to instead scrap the vote entirely and give players all three mobs. This Minecraft Mob Vote boycott already has thousands of signatures ahead of the vote results during Minecraft Live later this week, and the number is likely to grow.

Long-time rumour debunked. Suppose you're even remotely familiar with the work of Satoru Iwata, Nintendo's beloved President who sadly passed away in 2015. In that case, you'll have no doubt heard the popular rumour surrounding his contribution to 1999's Pokémon Gold And Silver. The rumour goes that Iwata created a compression code that significantly decreased the size of the games, thus allowing Game Freak to include the original Kanto region in addition to the newly introduced Johto.
