Romance has become increasingly common in role-playing games in recent years, having had central roles in Baldur's Gate 3, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, and Cyberpunk 2077, to name a recent few. But it was conspicuously absent from Obsidian's latest RPG, Avowed, and I am not the only person to wonder why.

What a difference a few weeks make. It wasn't that long ago that question marks were still hanging over Obsidian's coral-coloured role-playing game Avowed. Promotional trailers had left people unconvinced, showing an adventure that looked old-fashioned and lacking in originality. Yet weeks later, Avowed has wide acclaim. "It's one of this year's most pleasant surprises," I wrote in our Avowed review. It's a game that went from being under suspicion to an unlikely Xbox star. Obsidian has proven t...

Alien: Earth is easily one of this year’s most anticipated TV premieres.

There are many reasons Devil May Cry fans will enjoy the upcoming show adaptation's new trailer.

The upcoming iOS 18.4 update for the iPhone includes a smaller but meaningful improvement for Apple's in-car iPhone mirroring system CarPlay. Specifically, CarPlay now shows a third row of icons, up from two rows previously. However, this change is only visible in vehicles with a larger center display. For example, a MacRumors Forums member noticed the change in a Toyota Tundra with a 14-inch screen. In our testing, CarPlay still showed two rows of four icons in a Honda Civic with a 9-inch scree...

Under Verdu's leadership, the company released a bunch of new and ported titles, as well as establishing an internal game development operation.

But, in its annual Loud & Clear report, the music streamer is trying to change the narrative, reiterating an earlier claim that it paid artists $10 billion in 2024 ($60 million since launching) and adding that these payments increased tenfold over the last 10 years.  Spotify throws in quite a few other big numbers into the 2024 report.
