2025 has already been a fantastic year for great PC games, especially if you’re of an RPG persuasion. Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, Monster Hunter Wilds, Citizen Sleeper 2, Avowed, Tails of Iron 2, and the PC launch of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth mean we’re spoiled for choice. But if you’d rather strip back the stats and opt for something a little shorter, stylish action game Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is an easy recommendation. A powerful, emotional, exhilarating romp that clocks in at a ...

Video game adaptations have been going through a little bit of a renaissance recently. Arcane, The Last of Us, the Mario movie, and more have been both critical and commercial hits, and proven that Hollywood might finally have a handle on how to turn video games into movies and TV shows. It’s easiest, or at...

Firefly Aerospace’s first attempt at landing on the moon was a success. The company, which is working with NASA under the agency’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) program, announced early Sunday morning that its Blue Ghost lander softly touched down on the moon, and it’s upright and communicating with the team back home. Blue Ghost landed at 3:34AM ET in a region known as Mare Crisium. While Firefly’s lander isn’t the first commercial spacecraft to land on the moon, it is the first to l...

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman last month reported that Apple was considering delaying at least some of its promised Apple Intelligence enhancements for Siri until iOS 18.5, and that plan appears increasingly likely based on his latest information. Gurman said Apple was initially planning to launch the Apple Intelligence enhancements for Siri in iOS 18.4, but it seems that the features have been pushed back until iOS 18.5 due to a lack of readiness and software bugs. Accordingly, none of the promised f...

Steam has officially hit a new all-time active user peak, as over 40 million people are using Valve's storefront at once. The home of Counter-Strike and Team Fortress has long been the premier place to buy, download, and play games on PC, and this new milestone once again proves it. With the recent launch of Monster Hunter Wilds effortlessly cresting well over one million concurrent players, it's clear that Valve's platform isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

I think I know the purpose of the asterisk in Thunderbolts*, the title of the next Marvel Cinematic Universe movie. And if I’m wrong I’ll — OK, I won’t promise to eat any articles of clothing. I’ve seen how that can backfire. But I would lay money down on it.  If you’re a longtime comics...

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman last year reported that Apple was planning a "more conversational" version of Siri for iOS 19.4, powered by "more advanced large language models." However, in his Power On newsletter today, he said that development of this more ChatGPT-like Siri is now running behind schedule within the company. Gurman said Apple is no longer planning to unveil the more conversational Siri at WWDC 2025 in June this year, and it appears that the feature is no longer on track to launch as p...

Practically every flagship phone can take a great picture. But that hasn’t stopped Xiaomi from continuing its partnership with legendary camera maker Leica to produce a photo powerhouse in the new Xiaomi 15 Ultra. Powered by a Snapdragon 8 Elite chip with up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage, it goes without saying that the Xiaomi 15 Ultra has top-notch specs. It also has a huge 6,000 mAh battery, which is bigger than anything you get from Apple, Google or Samsung. Meanwhile, when it comes to ch...

If you’ve ever wished Stardew Valley was more all-action, Pesticide Not Required is well worth trying. It takes the tried-and-tested wave-based horde survival gameplay popularized by Vampire Survivors and combines it with a clever farming system to create one of the most delightful roguelike surprises of 2024. Now, developer Jampacked Games has unleashed a fresh update with an entire new tier of weapons and more challenges to put the most committed players through their paces. Alongside this, yo...

Along with some Switch "performance improvements". Following the release of WARRIORS: Abyss in February, Koei Tecmo has announced a "March update" adding another character to the game and much more. One other highlight is "performance improvements" for the Nintendo Switch version of the game and apart from this are bug fixes and various other adjustments. Here's the full rundown via the Koei Tecmo social media account:

If you’ve been waiting for the perfect excuse to try Star Wars Outlaws, this is it. While Ubisoft’s open-world take on a galaxy, far, far away had an incredibly underwhelming launch - which our own review can attest to - it’s having a quiet resurgence on Steam. With five major title updates under its belt and a staggering half-price sale, this is the time to see if the trip around the cosmos is for you.

Struggling to find the Tracktail Lizard location in Monster Hunter Wilds? With numerous large-scale biomes to discover and explore, finding a specific tiny monster in its living, breathing world can be difficult. But find one once and you’ll soon have a practically infinite supply for whatever you plan to do with them.

While I’ll always have an affinity for RE5, Resident Evil Outbreak and its sequel File 2 are the best co-op games in the survival horror series. Tense multiplayer action in that old-school style, with a touch of randomization to keep repeat runs fresh and danger lurking around every corner, makes the PS2 pair beloved cult classics to this day. We may not get an official remake any time soon, but new Steam game Blood Typers is here to fill the gap - and it combines the format with another iconic ...

Capcom is "investigating" an issue that's impeding progress for some players in Monster Hunter Wilds.

A metaverse full of life-size, browsable planets with terrain built by machine learning, hosting user-generated monetizable content, and promoting total player agency. That’s the buzzword-filled, ‘LinkedIn tech bro’ description of Project Artemis. But in the words of Brendan ‘PlayerUnknown’ Greene - the creator of PUBG and now the driving force behind Artemis - it’s simply a “universe where you can do whatever you want.”

They call me Mister bomb-baa-stic.

The Old School RuneScape Sailing skill is almost here, and you'll be able to get your hands on an alpha version of it very soon.

So if you want to take to the OSRS seas alone or with friends, you don't have to wait long to do just that.

The first Path of Exile 2 race event arrives today, and I’d encourage anyone who’s been enjoying the new ARPG to give it a try. Back in the early days of the first PoE, I dipped into the feature out of pure curiosity. Even though I wasn’t very good at first, I found myself enjoying the game even more and getting better at it along the way. It opened my eyes to a newfound appreciation for PoE, and I’d recommend everybody has a go. If you need more incentive, however, you can win a powerful, styli...

This ain't your dad's Vampire Survivors. We take a look at a hidden gem and talk to the developer about the development process.

Dapperwings are flying endemic life in Monster Hunter Wilds. You’ll need to capture one as part of an early side quest, “Samin’s Research Report,” for the research team at the Windward Plains base camp. It’s the follow up to “Dareel’s Research Report,” in which you need to capture tracktail lizards. Our guide tells you where...

Gotta trade 'em all. Welcome, Trainers! It's time to embark on another journey into the wonderful world of Box Art Brawl. Before we head out, however, let's visit the lab and recap what happened last week. It was the DS' River King: Mystic Valley that we put under the microscope and, surprising nobody, the awful European variant came dead last. Things were pretty close up the top, though, with North America taking 46% of the vote and Japan claiming 41%. Well played, NA!

Have you ever had to admit to your boss that your gun got stolen because you were distracted writing poetry with your former childhood friends at the local discotheque? Sounds like a really bad day at work, right? It was actually an incredible scene I got to play in the Disco Elysium-inspired LARP, 97 Poets of Revachol, last September.

Twisted Metal battle royale does make sense.

Is the Prince returning? There have been multiple times during the Switch generation where Bandai Namco has trademarked a certain game or series and has actually gone on to officially announce something. With this in mind, it's been discovered the Japanese publisher recently filed a trademark for 'Once Upon a Katamari' in Europe towards the end of last month. The more recent Katamari releases, where you roll up everything in sight, have been remasters - so there's a chance this latest trademark ...
