If you’ve ever wanted to carve a path of hatred through a swarm of Xenos as a Space Marine, serve in battle alongside the Astra Militarum’s finest, or fight your way through the twisting bowels of a Space Hulk in Terminator Armor, you should definitely check out Wrath & Glory, the Warhammer 40K TTRPG setting....

2025 is meant to be the year of GTA 6, but for PC players, it’s also the year of the GTA 5 Enhanced Edition. This long-overdue upgrade to the 11-year-old sandbox game, which has already been available for current-gen console players since 2022, has finally arrived, offering PC players an equivalent experience. However, despite the improvements and the fact that this is a completely free update, there’s still a surprisingly large amount of players sticking with the old Legacy Edition - on Steam, ...

In an effort to make movies and TV shows more accessible on Prime Video, Amazon announced that it's testing an AI dubbing system that will translate select content on the company's streaming service into other languages.

The first time you make anything, it probably won’t come out perfect, so it wasn’t a huge surprise when MSI’s debut gaming handheld struggled out of the gate. And that’s before you consider the unorthodox choice to go with an Intel chip instead of one from AMD like practically all of its rivals. However, MSI didn’t give up, and now it’s back with not one but two versions of its second-gen handheld, headlined by the Claw 8 AI+. Not only is it bigger than before, it has twice as many Thunderbolt 4...

Apple just announced a new MacBook Air, introducing its latest chip, an enhanced camera, and a striking new color option. Simultaneously, it discontinued the two previous generations.

The 13.6-inch ‌MacBook Air‌ with the M2 chip from 2022 remained in the lineup at a price of $999. Now, the 13-inch M4 model starts at $999. It is also...

We knew John Mulaney was getting his own live Netflix talk show after the success of last year’s Everybody's in LA, but now we have more details. Mulaney dropped a trailer for the show and reconfirmed a March 12 air date. The trailer absolutely captures the anarchic spirit of last year’s specials, which is fitting for a guy who has said he “never wanted to host a talk show.” The whole thing is basically a drone shot of Mulaney in a darkened parking lot, as he complains about filming the promo. F...

Pokémon Go’s first event of the “Might and Mastery” season is “Powerful Potential,” which runs from March 5-10.

The Big N's lowest ranking yet. Metacritic has today revealed its 15th annual game publisher rankings, giving us an updated look at how the biggest publishers of 2024 performed based on critic reviews. Nintendo wound up in 22nd place out of the 37 publishers in this year's list which, considering it landed in sixth place last time, is quite the tumble. The Big N took home an average Metascore of 76 on its 13 releases in 2024, with no "Great" games (Metascore of 90 or higher) to its name.

Guardian seikret feathers are an equipment material in Monster Hunter Wilds. They are, as you might expect, feathers from a guardian seikret. At High Rank, guardian seikret feathers become guardian seikret feather+, but you find them the same way and from the same monsters. You’ll need guardian seikret feathers to forge armor like the Guardian...

What are the best Fisch enchants? While it might not make sense to put time and effort into rolling enchants on a sub-par rod destined for the dark corners of the equipment page, enchanting a good rod could end up landing you with a great rod. On top of listing every Fisch enchant, we're going to detail the best enchants for each rod in the relaxing game. Regular enchants or exalted enchants can make or break the best Fisch rods, and knowing what you might roll can help avoid ruining a perfectly...

Since the 2018 Supreme Court decision letting US states legalize gambling, related content has been hard to miss, whether it's odds tickers flashed during sports broadcasts, superstar athletes and celebrities hawking betting sites during commercial breaks or YouTube videos promising that you won't lose if you only use this gambling service. Although the first two won't change anytime soon, the latter could become scarcer, thanks to some upcoming changes Google announced on Tuesday. YouTube said ...

Take part in brand new hunts and even earn special armor.

The new M4 MacBook Air models that Apple announced today are a better deal than ever, with pricing that starts at $999. That's $100 less than the previous $1,099 starting price for the prior-generation M3 ‌MacBook Air‌ models. Before today, Apple sold the M3 ‌MacBook Air‌ starting at $1,099, and the prior-generation M2 ‌MacBook Air‌ starting at $999, but both of those models have been discontinued and now Apple only has the M4 ‌MacBook Air‌ models available. Here are the base configurations and ...

The labyrinthine “Universal Century” (UC) timeline of Mobile Suit Gundam — one of the more expansive fictional histories in anime — has been revisited often, for better and worse, between Yoshiyuki Tomino’s original show (“0079,” in honor of its release year) and its sequels. The main story continued on through decades, following the conflict between...

We're over four years into the current generation of consoles (which is probably past the halfway point) and while Sony is still selling tons of PlayStation 5 units, the price of the system means it remains out of reach for many. To help address that, Sony has teamed up with a leasing company called Raylo to offer a PS5 rental service in the UK via the country's PlayStation Direct website. Leases for the PS5 Digital Edition, the version with a disc drive and the PS5 Pro are available on 12-, 24-...

Just days before Paradise’s big season 1 finale, Hulu announced that the hit sci-fi thriller had officially been greenlighted for a second season.

Monster fluid is an equipment material in Monster Hunter Wilds. It’s described as “a liquid bugs suck from monsters” (gross). At High Rank, monster fluid becomes monster broth, but you find it the same way and from the same monsters. You’ll need monster fluid to forge weapons like the Bone Axe 2 and armor like...

Heads-up for all you PlayStation 3 diehards out there: the Sony console received a system software update on March 5, almost 19 years after its 2006 launch. PS3 system software update 4.92 “improves system performance,” according to the vague patch notes, but no other information was provided as to what it does. Polygon has reached...

Kickflippin' 'eck... Sigh... We really don't like reporting on this kind of stuff, but alas, it's our duty to you, our dear readers, to know what you're getting yourself into. Judging from images of the box art online, it looks like Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 will require a mandatory download on the Nintendo Switch. Now, it's not known at this stage exactly what kind of download will be needed, but given that it's seemingly a requirement and not an option, we're guessing that the base game sim...

Cities: Skylines 2 developer Colossal Order has shared an update on the city builder sequel's long-delayed console release - confirming it still has "more things we need to address" before it can launch, meaning it won't be arriving before summer.

The reins have officially been handed over to SanDisk.

Another month has passed, and the movers and shakers in the Steam Deck most played games provide a few shocks, including Monster Hunter Wilds barrelling towards the top ten despite its poor performance. The biggest surprise is the influx of newly released triple-A games on the list, suggesting that Steam Deck owners are comfortable with trying to run the latest games on the handheld, even if performance isn't ideal. Despite being the best handheld gaming PC for most gamers, the Steam Deck is und...

The Monty Python-themed tabletop role-playing game, following a successful crowdfunding campaign in 2022, is available widely today. Formally titled Monty Python’s Cocurricular Mediaeval Reenactment Programme, it is the rare game that does exactly what it says on the tin. It’s just that the tin says “SPAM” on it, and the gubbins smell faintly of coitus...

Apple has issued a legal challenge against the British government over a demand to create a backdoor for encrypted iCloud accounts, as reported by Financial Times. The company has filed a complaint in the hopes to reverse the order. The iPhone maker made its appeal to the Investigatory Powers Tribunal (IPT), which is an independent judicial body. This comes after a leak revealed the order from the UK government, which tasked Apple with building the aforementioned backdoor for iCloud encrypted ba...

What are the Rise of the Ronin system requirements? Storage space will undoubtedly be the biggest blocker for many PC gamers hoping to play Rise of the Ronin.
