Rebellion makes big games, but not that big.

Netflix’s Devil May Cry series is less than a month away, and if the new trailer is any indication, it’s certainly set to live up to the spirit of the video games. Netflix released a new trailer Tuesday, which gave us our longest look yet at the series and maybe even a hint at what...

If you were asked to name some of this year’s new games with the highest Steam scores, names like Split Fiction and Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 will probably spring to mind. However, unless you played the original or you're a big Metroidvania fan, you’ll probably overlook Ender Magnolia. Sitting on a 95% user rating, it’s an absolute masterpiece, and it’s just got even better thanks to a huge new update that adds a boss rush mode and New Game Plus.

It's been a bit of a busy day in the world of virtual reality, thanks to a flurry of PSVR 2 and PCVR announcements courtesy of the aptly named VR Games Showcase.

In Grimoire Groves you explore an enchanted forest and grow plant creatures in your garden.

The Remote Desktop app for Windows is (almost) dead; long live the Windows app. Microsoft said on Monday that its legacy Remote Desktop client, which has already been replaced on other platforms, will no longer be supported on Windows after May 27, 2025. But you aren't losing any functionality here. You can still do tech support for your parents using built-in Windows functionality or the modern Windows app, which is somehow both the simplest and most confusing naming convention Microsoft's mark...

The Dungeon-themed event was supposed to go live on April 1, but it looks like someone hit the wrong button.

Apple last week introduced new versions of the iPad, iPad Air, MacBook Air, and Mac Studio, with plans to launch the devices on March 12. It's already Wednesday, March 12 in New Zealand and Australia, which means customers who pre-ordered one of Apple's new iPads or Macs have started receiving their devices. Apple's updates focused primarily on introducing more powerful chips, with few other changes. The ‌MacBook Air‌ received an M4 chip and a new Sky Blue color option, while the ‌Mac Studio‌ is...

The trio of NES Mario Bros. games is finally complete!

Destiny 2 has experienced some pretty wild and problematic technical hiccups in recent months, but with Heresy Act 2 going live, Bungie has just made an unbelievable blunder. Slated to launch in a few weeks’ time with the start of Act 3, Destiny 2’s Rite of the Nine event has somehow gone live early, allowing people to start playing its tweaked fan-favorite dungeons and even unlock the new reprised weapons.

iRobot just announced some new Roomba vacuums and they feature interesting capabilities. The Roomba 205 DustCompactor Combo Robot is being advertised as "the industry's first onboard mechanical debris-compacting system." In other words, it squeezes dust and debris together like, well, a garbage compactor. This allows users to go eight weeks without having to empty the vacuum. It also eliminates the need for a dedicated debris bin.  Otherwise, the 205 is a full-featured hybrid vacuum/mop. There’s...

Gore Magala makes a triumphant and terrifying return in Monster Hunter Wilds. First introduced in Monster Hunter 4, the flagship monster is as deadly as ever, making use of its aggressive nature to inflict the challenging Frenzy state. Whether or not you’ve fought the creature in the past, there’s a lot to keep in mind...

Jin Dahaad is one of the biggest creatures in Monster Hunter Wilds, and possibly the most complicated fight of them all. The monster covers its body in ridges, which need to be broken before you can start dealing serious damage. This is, as expected, easier said than done. If you’re scratching your head over this...

Monster Hunter Wilds wouldn’t be complete without a flagship monster. Guardian Arkveld is a central piece in the main story, and a recurring face to smack that presents a challenge each time. While you’ll get a taste of the fight before the actual confrontation, you should prepare accordingly, learning what to expect and how to...

The culmination of Monster Hunter Wilds is at the hands of Zoh Shia. This monster is the definition of a final boss, and a fitting end to the Low Rank section of Capcom’s latest entry in the hunting series. It’s a spectacle that towers over the likes of Jin Dahaad in scale, and one you...

One day after X went down for hours, security researchers are throwing cold water on Elon Musk’s public comments about who might be behind the DDoS attack. On Monday, as X was still struggling to remain online, Musk said in a post that the site had been brought down by a “massive cyberattack” executed by “a large, coordinated group and/or a country.” Later that day, in an interview with Fox News, he said the attack involved "IP addresses originating in the Ukraine area." He never provided eviden...

Square Enix is planning to celebrate the groundbreaking game in style!

Electric vehicle company Rivian is rolling out new software today. The lead feature is Enhanced Highway Assist, which controls steering, acceleration, and braking on compatible highways. It relies on an infrared camera in the rearview mirror to ensure that the driver is still paying attention to the road, even though their hands don't need to be on the wheel. This resource is only rolling out to Rivian's Gen 2 vehicles; the blog post did not address whether it would also come to Gen 1. There's a...

In a rare recent example of a product becoming more affordable (rather than moving full-speed in the opposite direction), the popular podcast service Pocket Casts no longer requires a subscription to access its web player and desktop apps. Although the premium tiers are still there for some paywalled features, the only platforms where you can't listen for free are now smartwatches without a paired phone — a niche within a niche, if ever there was one. Before Tuesday's announcement, you could lis...

Take-Two said when it sold Private Division in 2024 that it would continue supporting No Rest for the Wicked itself, but the plan has changed.

I don’t want to set the world on fire, but a tiny conflagration on my kitchen table will suffice. If you’d like to bring the miniature-based battles of Fallout: Factions to your tabletop, you can currently pick up the Battle for Nuka-World Starter Set on Amazon for just $70.95 (was $112.16). This is the lowest...

After installing iOS 18.3.2, iPhone users have noticed that ‌Apple Intelligence‌ is automatically turned on, regardless of whether it was turned off prior to the update being installed. There is an ‌Apple Intelligence‌ splash screen that comes up after updatin...

Turn the glow off for a glow up.

Out today on Switch. Today marks the release of Beyond the Ice Palace 2, and no, you're not imagining things — this is a sequel the 1988 Amiga, Commodore 64, and ZX Spectrum platformer. Taking the shape of a Soulslike Metroidvania, Beyond the Ice Palace 2 sees you take up the chains of the Cursed King who has broken from from imprisonment. Touting some brutally difficult combat and platforming and some excellent pixel art, it takes the classic formula established 37 years ago and brings it up to...

ZA/UM Studio, the company behind Disco Elysium, just announced a new game called Project [C4]. It’s being described as a “genre-defining RPG” and there’s a teaser trailer that’s light on gameplay but heavy on disturbing imagery. Based on the trailer, we still don’t know if the game will pull mechanics or visuals from the highly-regarded Disco Elysium. A press release did note that folks would play as a spy of some kind and suggested that the game could actually, in part, take place in the human ...

The iOS 18.3.2, iPadOS 18.3.2, macOS Sequoia 15.3.2, and visionOS 2.3.2 updates that Apple released today include an important security fix for a WebKit vulnerability that may have been actively exploited. In Apple's security notes for each update, Apple says that maliciously crafted web content could break out of the Web Content sandbox. Most of the issue was addressed with iOS 17.2, but Apple has added an additional supplementary fix in today's updates. Apple says that it is aware of a report ...
