We all need someone who inspires us to be the best version of ourselves. For me, personally, that’s Jesse Faden from Control. What can I say? A flying, telekinetic badass that can rock a leather jacket and commune with dark obelisks really checks all of my boxes. If you need help finding your inspiration, you...

If you own a Honda Prologue or Acura ZDX, you'll soon have a lot more places you can charge your car. Honda and Acura EVs will be able to access the Tesla Supercharger network in June 2025, when Honda's official NACS-CCS adapter goes on sale. Adapters will be available to purchase from authorized dealerships, and EV owners will receive a notification from the HondaLink and Acura EV apps when they're available. The apps will also be able to locate Tesla Superchargers around the same time. Honda s...

What percentage of tabletop role-playing campaigns collapse because the group just can’t get its scheduling together enough to meet? I’d bet it’s a fair proportion, and it’s one of the most challenging and frustrating aspects of the hobby. Yet this crucial aspect of TTRPG etiquette has never been officially addressed by the rules. It all...

In late February, Anthropic released Claude 3.7 Sonnet. As the industry's first hybrid reasoning model, it was a major milestone for the company. Rather than forcing users to pick between a version of Claude that can answer a question nearly instantaneously or work through a problem step by step, the chatbot can do both, with a simple toggle allowing you to switch between Claude's different “thinking modes.” Today, Anthropic is enhancing 3.7 Sonnet by giving it the ability to search the web. "Wi...

A Mimic miracle. If you're anything like us, you probably spent a fair amount of time soaking up the 3D vibes of Pokémon Stadium in the early 2000s. This was the franchise's first foray into the third dimension and, at the time, it was mind-blowing. Charizard? With depth? Is this the future? But no matter how long we played, some features remained hidden to us. That is, until today. You see, today we stumbled across this informative YouTube Short from D0UBLESLAP, which promised to show us "secre...

Joining the likes of Duke Nukem, Commander Keen and the guy from Dusk.

If you receive a lot of email, and most people do, then sometimes it can be a challenge to pull up a particular old missive in your inbox. Google has decided that the solution must be more artificial intelligence. Today, the company announced that it is rolling out an update that uses AI to assess inbox search queries to account for recency, frequent contacts and most-clicked emails. The "most relevant" search feature is rolling out globally to personal accounts, while business accounts will get...

Ambush Hitting is one of the most important, and confusing, new features of MLB The Show 25, an extra tool in your batting arsenal that you can choose to use before every pitch. While the game offers a brief explanation of how the system works, we’ve got a slightly deeper dive that can help you...

Good news: You can pet the dog in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. When you pet an animal, you’re rewarded with a really cute cinematic — apparently, even strange cats are ready to leap into Naoe’s hands for scritchies. Less advertised is the fact that you can add any animal that you meet to your Hideout where...

You can transmog your gear in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, allowing you to rock the look of one piece of equipment while retaining the stats of another. Shadows isn’t the first Assassin’s Creed game to feature a transmog system. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla eventually added the ability to do so, though it was controversially limited by an...

There’s the Clue you might have played as a kid, with ma ‘n pa, some friends, or maybe some other family members. Today’s version of Clue looks a lot different — a lot thirstier, according to some. The game is still for ages 8 and up, but features more modern-looking and diverse group of characters,...

God-like. Editor's note: As the headline suggests, this article discusses late-game spoilers for Pokémon Legends: Arceus.Ask me what my favourite thing about Pokémon Legends: Arceus is, and I can give you a non-exhaustive list. Being able to catch Pokémon without engaging them in battle. Having actual, proper sidequests with rewards. Shiny hunting is actually fun and relatively easy! And oh gosh, help, I’m being chased by a hulking great Steelix 40 levels higher than my team and there’s nothing ...

The standalone prequel to The New Order, Wolfenstein: The Old Blood, is currently free for Amazon Prime subscribers through April 21. While not as narratively complex as The New Order or The New Colossus, The Old Blood still delivers plenty of brutal, fast-paced combat. Typically, free games on Amazon Prime are only available for PC,...

It’s rare to find peace and comfort in a FromSoftware game. The studio is known for its harsh, relentlessly challenging games awash in death and despair. There are areas of respite in Demon’s Souls, Bloodborne, and Elden Ring, but few of those games’ quiet places match the serenity and hominess of Majula, the hub of...

I've reached the acceptance stage.

It’s been exactly five years since Nintendo released Animal Crossing: New Horizons, the best-selling Animal Crossing game in Nintendo’s history. In fact, it’s one of the Nintendo Switch’s most popular games ever, too, having sold nearly 48 million copies. It’s no wonder that people are already thinking about what’s next for the franchise, especially given...

Of the many action roguelikes that have followed in the wake of the mighty Hades, Sworn has been a real personal favorite. Launched into early access in February, the co-op game allows up to four of you to fight through the lands of Camelot and attempt to save the kingdom from a fallen, corrupted King Arthur. But it turns out the rot doesn’t stop with the ruler. New Sworn update The Mutinous Fae is now live, and drags you on a quest to uncover the source of the corruption itself.

Beep, boop.

We all know why the searches were so high.

AMD reportedly has no plan to use its new RDNA 4 gaming GPU architecture for the integrated graphics in its new Ryzen CPUs. After being really impressed by the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT, we were hoping the company’s new GPU architecture could be used as the foundation for a new, smaller GPU inside the company’s chips, but it looks as though that’s not going to happen. As we found in our AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT review, the company has made great strides with its latest RDNA 4 GPU architecture. With its...

Another for the Switch 2 wishlist. One of 2024's absolute best games came in the form of Persona 3 Reload from Atlus. A remake of the 2006 entry Persona 3, it sadly didn't grace the Nintendo Switch, but we remain relatively confident (hopeful?) that Atlus will launch it on the upcoming Switch 2. Now, however, it seems like a remake of Persona 4 is also imminent, thanks to the discovery of a website domain by YouTuber @ScrambledFaz (thanks, Insider Gaming). The domain in question – 'p4re.jp' – wa...

Tom King’s Wonder Woman is getting a spinoff miniseries — but not from he and Daniel Sampere’s main story, in which Wonder Woman is battling the secret king of America, grieving the late Steve Trevor, and raising their infant daughter that she made out of clay. No, Trinity: Daughter of Wonder Woman will expand on...

Are there tattoos in InZOI? There are many reasons to give InZOI a try, like its realistic setting and powerful karma values and consequences, but its character creator is certainly one of the most appealing draws. Offering an almost limitless options thanks to AI custom creation system and an incredibly detailed tools for tweaking facial features, Create-A-Zoi promises a complex playground to flex your creative muscles. However, when you get into it, some character customization options are qui...

It looks like your next gaming SSD could be more expensive than planned. A new report claims that a perfect storm of high demand and recent production issues could force major manufacturers like Samsung and SanDisk to raise their prices, leaving gamers with a higher bill as a result. While the best SSDs for gaming aren’t always the cheapest, price rises are never going to be well received by gamers. Unfortunately, with NAND flash manufacturing limited to just a few core suppliers like Samsung, t...

InZoi is a life simulation game that prides itself on its immersive experience and photorealistic graphics, but it reintroduces the age-old question: can you run it? There haven’t been many competitors in the life sim genre, and the latest The Sims installment has been over a decade ago. As InZoi is much more demanding on...

Because of sanctions that will prevent Huawei’s latest foldable from going on sale in the US, many folks who are interested in the handset will never lay eyes on it in person. Still, you might want to get a load of this oddity. The Pura X should maybe have a “wide load” warning that pops up on the back once it’s opened up. Per CNBC, the 6.3-inch display has a 16:10 aspect ratio. That means it’s wider and more tablet-like than most other phones. It's not quite as unusual as Huawei's (admittedly c...

A Persona 4 remake could well be on the way, if a new website domain registration is anything to go by (and past form would suggest it is).

Horde-survival RTS Cataclismo is making the jump out of early access today with its 1.0 launch. A destruction-oriented combination of dark fantasy tower defense and piecemeal base building reminiscent of Lego, the Digital Sun strategy game first arrived in July 2024 and has since earned itself a ‘very positive’ Steam rating, with 91% of user reviews recommending it. Following more than a dozen major updates since, it’s now feature complete for launch, and its Steam release is being joined by GOG...

We’re just a few weeks away from The Last of Us Part II Remastered arriving on PC on April 3, and we here at Naughty Dog wanted to make sure players were prepared for the journey ahead. Whether it’s your first time experiencing Ellie and Abby’s acclaimed stories, or you’ve previously played and are excited...

Meta’s Threads is finally allowing users to change their default feed in the app, in a move that addresses what has long been one of the most frustrating parts of the service. With the update, users will be able to make the “following” feed or a custom feed the default view in the app rather than Threads’ sometimes chaotic “for you” feed. Mark Zuckerberg said that Meta would test the feature way back in November, but the company has said little about it since. Now that it’s official, the change ...

Early 2025 contender for longest game title. Famitsu has published the latest boxed charts for Japan, and as expected, Monster Hunter Wilds retains its position at the top of the pile. In fact, the only newcomer this week is Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? Familia Myth – Fullland of Water and Light, a game that is almost certainly an early contender for the longest title of 2025. Still, it looks pretty fun if you want to check out some gameplay videos over on YouTube.
