For most people nowadays, their first MMORPG is World of Warcraft or Final Fantasy 14. For me, it was Guild Wars 2, ArenaNet's classic fantasy adventure that remains my favorite of the genre. Its most recent expansion, Janthir Wilds, added everything from the Spear weapon track to player housing. Now my fellow Tyrians can rejoice for Janthir Wilds' second major content drop, Repentance, has arrived, adding a whole new region and bringing back some beloved Relics.

The passage of time is unfortunately an unstoppable thing, and I seem to have blinked and five years have passed since the release of Call of Duty: Warzone. In the intervening period, a sort-of-sequel was released simply titled Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 - now just called Call of Duty: Warzone, too - and the single, bountiful map players War upon has changed several times over. Yesterday on March 10th, the day Warzone officially released back in 2020, Activision shared a teaser trailer confirming...

Lena Raine, who composed most of the music for the beloved indie game Celeste, has released a concept album for Earthblade. Extremely OK Games announced in 2022 that it was developing Earthblade as its next project after Celeste, but it ultimately cancelled the project in January this year. Raine wrote in the description of EARTHBLADE ~ Across the Bounds of Fate that she cobbled together "every bit of music [she'd] written for the game to the point of its cancellation in order to tell [her] own ...

STRAFTAT originally launched in October 2024, and just recently the developer added a Linux version. It's a completely ridiculous competitive 1v1 online shooter with quick rounds and lots of weapons.

The new MacBook Air with the M4 chip launches this Wednesday. Ahead of time, the first reviews of the laptop have been shared by selected publications and YouTube channels, offering a closer look at new features and changes. While it is a minor spec-bump year for the MacBook Air, the new model does offer a few upgrades beyond the M4 chip. There is an improved 12-megapixel camera with support for Center Stage, support for two external displays even when the MacBook Air's lid is open, and a new Sk...

Konami has announced that it will officially reveal Silent Hill f in full as part of a Silent Hill Transmission showcase set for later this week.

When Apple released the second macOS 15.4 beta earlier this month, the company apparently made a change that means System Settings no longer shows how much local storage space Apple Intelligence features are taking up on a Mac. In macOS Sequoia 15.3.1, users with a Mac powered by Apple silicon can easily discover how much space any installed Apple Intelligence features are taking up on their drive by going to System Settings ➝ General ➝ Storage, and then clicking the circled "i" button next to m...

At the risk of repeating myself from Engadget's MacBook Air M1, M2 and M3 reviews: The M4-equipped MacBook Air is a nearly flawless ultraportable. Even better, it now starts at $999, which is $100 less than before. While I'd still like to see more ports and a faster screen refresh rate, the MacBook Air still remains heads and shoulders above the competition. And when companies try to one-up Apple, as ASUS did with its 2.2-pound Zenbook A14, it only proves how much better-designed Apple's hardwar...

The Corridors of Time. Note: If you haven't played Chrono Trigger to completion...what are you playing at? If you're sensitive to spoilers, come back when you're done as we discuss end-game details below...“But... the future refused to change.”

Daniel Rosenfeld, better known as C418, composed a defining soundtrack of a generation when he made the music for Minecraft. As Rosenfeld told Polygon, he’s fine with always being known as “the Minecraft guy,” but on March 11, the composer released something more personal. A game that feels both intimate and emotional, and one that...

Remember the classic Worms 2? Modders continue improving it with the Worms 2 Plus patch, which recently had a major update to making playing online way easier.

Inspired clearly by the likes of classic Zelda and the Game Boy Color, Isle of Reveries is one for fans of retro games that want something new and fresh.

A new leak has revealed PlayStation maker Sony is working on AI-driven characters, including Aloy from the Horizon series, which seems like a somewhat ironic choice given she is a character growing up in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by rogue AI-controlled machines.

Heroic Games Launcher v2.16.1 Hotfix has been released with a few bug fixes, like a critical issue with changing the language.

Playdead, the developer behind indie darlings Limbo and Inside, has responded amidst an increasingly ugly spat between the company's co-founders.

Apple is expected to release iOS 18.4 in early April, and when it does, users with HomeKit devices still running on the old Home app architecture may be forced to upgrade them to the latest software. Apple has offered users the option to upgrade to new Home architecture since March 2023 when it released iOS 16.4, iPadOS 16.4, and macOS Ventura 13.3. At the time, Apple said the new architecture brings faster, more reliable performance, especially for smart homes with a lot of smart accessories in...

Ford says it's done sending out all the complimentary NACS adapters that 140,000 EV customers in the US had reserved. The automaker announced in 2023 that it was working with Tesla to give Ford EV owners access to tens of thousands of Superchargers across the US and Canada. In 2024, Ford's EVs became the first non-Tesla vehicles to be able to access Superchargers. However, since Ford EVs come with Combined Charging System (CCS) ports, they need North American Charging System adapters to be able ...

What’s a dragon game? That’s any game that’s got dragons in it — typically, a game that prominently features dragons. While some dragons in dragon games are less prominent, they are no less important. Dragon games can be a part of any genre, be it the ever challenging Elden Ring or the cozy life simulator...

After years spent waiting for a true open-world samurai game, we've seen a flurry of them arrive on PC in pretty close proximity. First, there was Ghost of Tsushima. Later this month, we'll finally have Assassin's Creed Shadows, which puts Ubisoft's signature open-world stealth twist on the feudal setting. But wedged in the middle is Nioh and Ninja Gaiden developer Team Ninja's Rise of the Ronin, a 19th-century adventure that blends parry-based swordplay with the industrial era's advancing techn...

And if you can actually buy the darned thing...

We've found a brilliant wireless gaming headset deal on Amazon that will save you over $100 on the Sony Inzone H9 noise-canceling headphones. Packed with features and designed with both PC and PS5 in mind, this high-end headset could be your go-to cross-platform choice for years to come at just a fraction of its MSRP, if they don't sell out beforehand. We have the Inzone H9 earmarked as one of the best wireless gaming headsets, but acknowledged that its usual $299.99 MSRP was difficult to swallo...

Monster Hunter Wilds has seen huge success since it launched at the end of February, which series producer Ryozo Tsujimoto has put down to the emphasis on story.

Videos showing off New Vegas sets created for the second season of Fallout have started making the rounds online.

The first enemy I encounter in the Steam demo for Songs Of Rats is a giant golem, encased in fridge-thick armour with fists the size of fridges and a thousand-fridge stare. If RPGs are good at anything, it's making numbers scary. To wit: The battle golem has 40 health, and I have a nerf crossbow with pretensions that does one entire damage. I manage to do two entire damage, and he downs me in two hits. This may well be what it feels like for a real life rat to fight a real life fridge, and in th...

If you weren't already worried about game developers - and, heck, you really should be by now - the growing emergence of games explicitly about burnout is certainly a good reason to start. Wanderstop, in a similar vein to last summer's Dungeons of Hinterberg, is exactly that, only this time instead of opting for a breezy vacation to get away from it all, your location is a little more confined. Imagine Alice in Wonderland except, instead of a whole forest to act as her psychological gauntlet, Al...

The Justice Department said in a filing that Google will have to break up its network of myriad, overlapping businesses and services, upholding the previous administration’s proposal. The DOJ reiterated Google will have to sell the Chrome browser — saying, last year, that selling off Chrome “will permanently stop Google’s control of this critical search access point and allow rival search engines the ability to access the browser that for many users is a gateway to the internet.” Google is likel...

We all know what's coming up in The Last of Us season 2, right? I mean, everyone knows what happens quite early on in the game, because it was a pretty controversial narrative choice so everyone and their mum has spoiled it. I haven't played it myself and I know what happens, but it seems like streaming service Max is happy to pretend that everything is peaches and cream (more or less) in their adaptation. A new trailer for The Last of Us season 2 dropped over the weekend that is full of drama a...

From pee-eww to VU.

"It should take the same inputs and produce essentially the same outputs."

An essential material.

Despite being released over two years ago, Apple's AirPods Pro 2 continue to dominate the wireless earbud market. However, with the AirPods Pro 3 expected to launch in 2025, anyone thinking of buying Apple's premium earbuds may be wondering if the next generation is worth holding out for. Apart from their audio and noise-canceling performance, which are generally regarded as excellent for such small buds, one of the reasons the AirPods Pro 2 have remained popular is Apple's commitment to updatin...

Sony are experimenting with AI-powered characters who'll speak to the player directly using OpenAI and Chat-GPT to hold a conversation, according to leaked footage seen by the Verge. The video shows familiar robot whacker Aloy from the Horizon games "responding to queries with an AI-powered synthesized voice and facial movements". Sony's copyright patrolmen showed up with a "'ello 'ello what have we 'ere" and got the video taken down from YouTube. But, shhh, there are other ways to see it.

We are once again asking everyone to update their stuff.

Drawing inspiration from Vangelis, Ghibli & more. Earthblade, the next game from Celeste developer Extremely OK Games, was sadly cancelled earlier this year following what studio founder Maddy Thorson described as "a disagreement about the IP rights of Celeste". We only got a very small taste of what this follow-up would offer — a Game Awards reveal trailer and the odd blog post — but now composer Lena Raine has shared a "concept album" of her work on the project and, expectedly, it sounds beaut...

Bringing history to life and then killing it with a hidden blade. Or bugs.
