InZOI's system specs make me want to see this handsome Sims killer running on a pocket calculator

The Sims players among us have been gazing cautiously at inZOI, a new neighbourhood and life management game from Krafton. I am cautious for essentially two reasons. One is that the game makes use of live generative AI: you can stuff its jaws with text, images and video to create items such as outfits and animate your pet humans, here known as Zois. Your Zoi's "actions and thoughts" are also based on "small machine learning" tech, which as the name implies is a teenier species of generative AI t...

Mirthwood finally adds marriage in huge, smooch-filled update, and it’s on sale

Stardew Valley truly pioneered the cozy game genre. It has everything from crafting to farming, and from dynamic villager relations to fully-rounded romance. As a result, it feels like every life game has to have those exact same elements - realistically, we all just want to smooch our favorite villagers. Mirthwood, a farming sim that transports Stardew's traditional mechanics into a hand-drawn, Fable-esque world, has sadly been lacking in the marriage department, but not anymore. Rejoice, my ho...

Apple Mac Studio M4 Max review: A creative powerhouse

The Mac Studio is Apple’s ultimate performance computer, but this year’s model came with a twist: It’s equipped with either an M4 Max or an M3 Ultra processor. The latter might seem like a step backward, since nearly all Macs (except the Mac Pro) are now equipped with M4 chips. However, the M3 Ultra is indeed Apple’s best-performing processor, which makes the new Mac Studio its fastest computer ever. While the M3 Ultra model appears highly capable for creative pros and engineers, it starts at $4...

I'm already smitten by upcoming action RPG Town of Zoz thanks to how much it understands food

I love a game that features some kind of cooking element, so I was quite pleased yesterday when Humble Games revealed they're publishing Town Of Zoz, a new action RPG that's all about fighting off rats from eating your crops, taking down baddies to gather up ingredients, and using said ingredients and crops to make some tasty meals. It's got wonderfully vibrant art and animation. The announcement trailer quickly won me over with the choppy, almost stop-motion-like quality of certain character mo...

Yep, one of these promotional carts has now popped up on eBay with an eye-watering $28,000 price tag attached. The seller, grj4...

Call Of Duty's generative AI disclosure reveals a glaring issue with Steam's policies

A few weeks back, a new AI generated content disclosure appeared on the Call Of Duty Steam page, reading "our team uses generative AI tools to help develop some in game assets". This followed several months of community speculation over whether the FPS was using such tools to fever-dream up cosmetics, and a Wired report (paywalled) in which an anonymous artist alleged that the 'Yokai's Wrath' premium pack used genAI assets, via PC Gamer. As a disclosure, it's better than nothing, but only barely...

The CMA's independent inquiry group's investigation found that Apple's requirement for all iOS browsers to use its WebKit engine is stifling competition, and effectively prevents rival browsers from introducing unique features or optimizations on iPhones and iPads, rega...
