The transition from tabletop to video game, then back to tabletop, is something that few franchises have done successfully. Yet Cyberpunk has done it with relative ease. The Gangs of Night City board game from CMON borrows the setting and much of the styling of CD Projekt Red’s first-person RPG, Cyberpunk 2077, and turns it...

Just as industrial factories transform raw materials into Read Article

The janky, joyous survival FPS now becomes less janky, more joyous.

There is something about the murk of the PlayStation 1 that lent itself to horror. Limited polygon counts and CPU power translated to searing neon lights and gaping darkness. It was hard to see and the flickers of pixels and CRT scan lines tricked your eye into seeing things that weren’t there. It’s no wonder that survival horror mainstays like Resident Evil and Silent Hill made their debut on the PlayStation. Upcoming game Ghost Sector seeks to bring that aesthetic back in force, in a blurry an...

It’s a good year to be an Avatar fan. There’s a new sequel series on the way. A book diving into the backstory of my personal favorite minor character is coming out in June. And if you can’t wait for either of those things, a new mobile game is out today. Avatar Legends: Realms Collide...

The Electric State is the latest blockbuster action epic from the Russo Brothers, and it’s one of the most expensive movies Netflix has ever produced. For all that coin, the streamer got what critics call “truly off-putting,” “self-cannibalizing slop,” “a sub-Marvel slog,” and “akin to sifting through a dumpster filled with discarded, decaying scraps of...

HyperX just introduced a new wireless headset that can keep rocking for up to 200 hours on a single charge. That’s over a week of constant music. The Cloud III S is a followup to 2023’s original wireless headset, but brings Bluetooth audio into the mix. The robust battery allows for the aforementioned 200 hours of listening when using Bluetooth. That metric drops to around 120 hours when streaming audio via a 2.4GHz wireless connection. Just like the original, the headphones ship with a USB dong...

Developer Wolf Games is backed by the creative minds behind Law and Order and the One Chicago shows, because of course it is.

Fallout 76’s new update includes a big potential change that characters can undergo. The Ghoul Within is named that because, well, players can finally become a nasty little ghoul.

Sarah Wynn-Williams joined Facebook in 2011 when it was very much in its “move fast and break things” era. A former United Nations diplomat, she had aspirations of helping Facebook boost its standing on the global stage. Over nearly seven years at the company, she had a front-row seat to some of Facebook’s most consequential (and controversial) moments. Last week, she published Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism, a memoir about her time at the company and how s...

Those sources include analysts Ming-Chi Kuo and Jeff Pu, along with the Weibo account Digital Chat Station. The fact that these display sizes are now agreed upon and have been leaked indicat...

AI is now mainstream and driving unprecedented demand for AI factories — purpose-built infrastructure dedicated to AI training and inference — and the production of intelligence. Many of these AI factories will be gigawatt-scale. Bringing up a single gigawatt AI factory is an extraordinary act of engineering and logistics — requiring tens of thousands of Read Article

A slightly confused Team Liquid came out on top.

Spiritfarer and Jotun developers Thunder Lotus Games have released 33 Immortals, their 33-player co-op fantasy action game that aims to simulate the experience of an MMO raid via matchmaking, without the experience of playing through a whole-ass MMO. Speaking as both an enjoyer of their previous Sundered, and somebody who has neither time nor friends, I am down for this.

The brackets are set and the teams are en route to their respective arenas. The 2025 NCAA Tournaments, affectionately known to many as March Madness, begin this week. The men’s tournament begins first on March 18 with the women’s version tipping off on March 19. Both will begin with First Four or “play-in” games (depending on who you ask) before providing action on the court through the first weekend in April. Different broadcasters own the rights to each tournament, so streaming them both can b...

And it's not just because the technology is brand new.

In the lead-up to the Assassin’s Creed Shadows launch on March 20, the fine folks at Ubisoft Brasil took it upon themselves to put together a special promotional video in the style of old-school tokusatsu shows like Kamen Rider and Super Sentai. The video depicts Assassin’s Creed Shadows protagonists Yasuke and Naoe, played by Brazilian...

GameTraderZero latest mod uses the SUPER5 OLED panel. With all eyes on Switch 2, now might seem like an odd time to release a 'new' version of an existing Switch console, but that's precisely what boutique modding store GameTraderZero has done. You might recall the name from some particularly cool custom Joy-Con and Pro Controller options, but the company has also expanded into consoles, having already produced a series of Game Boy and Game Boy Color handhelds with upgraded screens and new case ...

Last week, Niantic announced that its games division, which makes augmented reality games Pokémon Go, Monster Hunter Now, and Pikmin Bloom, was being sold to mobile gaming powerhouse Scopely for $3.5 billion. The move, which had been rumored for nearly a month, raised concerns among longtime Pokémon Go players — a passionate and dedicated fan base...

Rise of the Ronin is just not having a very good time on PC. The game only launched on Steam just last week, where it was quickly discovered that, oh dear, there are a lot of issues. Just a quick look at the game's reviews will let you in on its myriad of problems, but one of the biggest ones that's cropped up is an issue where save files are being completely wiped, obviously quite an annoying bug especially if you've put a lot of time into the game.

BYD has introduced new technology for charging electric vehicles at vastly quicker speeds. Founder Wang Chuanfu said this "super e-platform" tech offers a peak charging speed of 1,000 kilowatts, twice that of the 500 kw charging currently offered by Tesla's superchargers. That would mean a car can travel 249 miles (400 kilometers) from a five-minute charge on a BYD station. This charging architecture will initially be available in two of BYD's vehicle models: the Han L sedan and Tang L SUV. "In ...
