The Curiosity Mars rover covers a lot of ground for a robot that only moves at a max speed of .1 mph. A photo snapped recently by NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter provides a pretty cool visualization of what the rover has been up to so far this year, showing the tracks Curiosity left behind as it journeyed from its previous science target — an area called the Gediz Vallis channel — to its next destination. The rover itself is just a tiny speck at the front of the roughly 1,050-foot-long trail,...

I'm sure like me, some of you would really like another Nier game. A Nier 3, if you will, except I won't, because it already came out and it was called Nier Reincarnation. Unfortunately it was also a free-to-play mobile game, and as most mobile games are destined for, it shut down last year rendering it completely unplayable. Nier celebrated its 15th anniversary this year, so far with no big announcements, though there is a new website that's slowly sharing bits of a special novel. And curiously...

I think to properly convey my severe dislike of always online games I'd probably need more space and time than what an average RPS news article provides, but I'll try to contain myself on this one. You see, EA's just started up this new thing it calls The Grind (like what you do on a skateboard, get it?), which they describe as their "platform to talk directly to you, the community." The first volume had quite a few questions from expectant skaters about the upcoming Skate reboot, one of the fir...

That overall figure includes PC, PS5, and Xbox sales, as well as Game Pass players.

Spoilers for “The Well.” Sometimes, in fiction, you don’t need to say a Very Important Thing in a Very Important Way to make a good point, just ask how a thing would work if it played out in the world. This week’s episode of Doctor Who, “The Well,” does exactly that, and brilliantly. Picking up straight after “Lux,” the Doctor and Belinda, still in their ‘50s outfits, are trying to get the TARDIS to work. Belinda helps with the controls, but the vessel still refuses to land on May 24, 2025, whic...

The hit co-op adventure game Split Fiction is already headed for Hollywood with Sydney Sweeney in a starring role, according to Variety. Along with the Euphoria actor, the film adaptation welcomed Wicked’s Jon M. Chu as the project’s director and screenwriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, who worked on Deadpool & Wolverine. Sweeney will also reportedly be an executive producer for the Split Fiction movie. Split Fiction features two authors named Mio and Zoe who get trapped in fictional worlds t...

Unfinished Business gets a release date.

I'm Mr. Multiclass, but a full 12 levels of Hexblade is hard to beat.

Autonomica aims to do it all.

The fifth and final season of Netflix's live-action The Witcher show is in production, and we've finally had a peek at Liam Hemsworth in the titular role.

Amerzone – The Explorer's Legacy is out now.

"The episode is the most ambitious we've built so far."

“Paranoia” is a side quest in The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered about a Wood Elf who’s paranoid about a series of maybe-maybe-not stalkers. There are multiple ways this quest can play out, and the reward is a variable amount of gold You can actually completed “Paranoia” almost as soon as it starts, but if...

The thing about computers is that they're just really annoying, actually. They're massively complicated, constantly changing machines, and despite the fact the hardware is technically better now, they can sometimes struggle to run older games because of… reasons. Those reasons often being software issues I won't even attempt to understand. So, it always brings a smile to my face when I see another game back from the dead through the efforts of GOG's preservation program, the most recent entry be...

A Call of Duty fan had a run-in with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) after trying to get a "replica explosive device" Monkey Bomb onto a plane in the US earlier this year.

Factions are as deep as the main story in The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered, if not more. Joining one of these groups throws your headlong into the daily lives of Tamriel’s people — the good, the bad, and the normal — gives you some exclusive quests, and, depending on the guild, rewards you with...

Videogames wouldn’t be what they are today without Myst and Riven. Both of these classic puzzle games helped define the PC as the home of delightful, intelligent, and challenging experiences that reached beyond the screen and followed you wherever you went. Just like how we wouldn’t have the modern FPS without Doom, we wouldn’t have esoteric games without Riven. Now, almost a year after Cyan Worlds brought us back with the Riven remake, it’s overhauled the gorgeous experience to look and play be...

Earlier this month Nacon did something unthinkable, completely unpredictable with Dune: Awakening… they delayed it. Alright, fine, generally the opposite is true for big games these days, but it did come down to the wire in the greater scheme of things as it was due out this coming May 20th. Now the MMO is slated to be released on June 10th (or June 5th for those with early access), just three weeks extra. That "meh" news did come with some "oh that's cool" news though, as a large-scale beta was...

The horror movie Until Dawn doesn’t exactly follow the video game it’s based on. In fact, it has an entirely new cast of characters and a totally different story. But that doesn’t mean the filmmakers abandoned their source material entirely. In fact, the movie’s scariest scene feels like it was pulled directly out of the...

Etsy is selling Reverb, six years after it purchased the online marketplace for musical instruments. Reverb didn't say how much money is changing hands, but Etsy purchased the company for $275 million in 2019. In its announcement, Reverb said that the investors Creator Partners, which was founded by former SoundCloud CEO Kerry Trainor, and Servco, the owner of Fender Musical Instruments Corporation, have entered an agreement to buy the company. The marketplace will not be merging with either inv...

The puzzles of Blue Prince feel less like the gridlike blueprints you draft in the game and more like an intricate web. Even seasoned puzzle lovers might feel tested by its mysteries. In Blue Prince, you explore and construct a sprawling mansion estate room by room from a series of randomized blueprints. Each day (or...

I’m always happy to revisit Dark Souls 2. It’s definitely the black sheep of Fromsoftware’s oeuvre, but its penchant for off-kilter design decisions keeps me coming back. The abundance of life gems, nonsensical level layouts, and adaptability stat are just some of the bizarre choices that make DS2 unlike anything else. If you’ve never played it, then, or fancy diving back into the kingdom of Drangleic for another round, now’s the perfect time. One of the most prolific modders in the soulslike co...

The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered is a fascinating idea: to bring the original game engine to the modern era, with strategic changes made to gameplay - but with the lion's share of the actual remastering handled by an Unreal Engine 5 wrapper. The concept is nothing new, of course. We've seen it work out beautifully in a game like Bluepoint's Shadow of the Colossus and we've seen it work less than optimally in something like the Grand Theft Auto Trilogy Definitive Edition. Bethesda Game St...

In A24’s new fantasy adventure movie The Legend of Ochi, the titular apelike creatures communicate via strange chirps and whistles. Their unique vocals become a pivotal plot point, especially after lonely 12-year-old Yuri (Helena Zengel) runs off to return a baby ochi to its colony deep in the forest. For the most part, people like Yuri’s...

DoorDash is asking the court to dismiss the lawsuit filed by Uber in February, calling it meritless and a "cynical and calculated scare tactic." Uber sued the biggest food delivery provider in the US earlier this year, accusing it of putting pressure on restaurants to exclusively use its services. At the time, Uber said that it heard from "restaurants across the country" that DoorDash was charging higher commission rates from restaurants that also sell their food on Uber Eats. It also accused Do...

New devices are still hitting our desks at Engadget at a rapid pace. Over the last two weeks, we've offered up in-depth analysis of cameras, earbuds, GPUs and a portable display.

Out with the old? Buying a new console on or close to its launch date (or, in some cases, at any point during its lifespan) can be exceptionally costly. It's often a good option, then, to flog your current-gen console and get a discount off your next hardware purchase, especially if the new one is backwards compatible. In the case of the Switch 2, GameStop has confirmed that it is offering a pretty reasonable deal in the US if you trade in your old Switch towards the new system.

We've known for quite some time about Apple's plans for a thinner "iPhone 17 Air" coming later this year, but wow, the latest dummy models give us our best look yet at just how thin this phone is going to be. Other Apple news and rumors this week included another iOS 18.5 beta, the 10th anniversary of the Apple Watch launch, and more management reshuffling in Apple's Siri division, so read on below for all the details on these stories and more! iPhone 17 Air's Extreme Thinness Demoed in New Vide...

Depending who you ask, arcades have been dead or dying or on their last legs for… almost 40 years now. The reality is more complex, with new business models, barcades, bigger complexes like Dave & Busters, and VR/immersive/experimental options taking their place.  But the classic arcade, where you could drop a couple quarters to play...

The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered stealth-launched just four days ago, but it's already clocked up over four million players.

Now that update 1.7 is finally here, all eyes are on Zenless Zone Zero Season 2. Set to arrive later this year, Hoyoverse will finally let us begin exploring an all-new area, experience a plethora of major gameplay overhauls, and get our hands on plenty of new agents. If you’re already planning your pulls for ZZZ version 2.0, then, Hoyoverse has just unveiled two of the new agents set to arrive in the next season, and they’re looking nothing short of incredible.

Spring is here, and for some that means it’s time to get outside and start enjoying the fresh air. If that doesn’t sound like you, then Netflix has quite a few great horror movies to fill your time with instead. This month, we handpicked a few of the best horror movies on Netflix that fit...

Challenge accepted.

As I write this, REPO just exceeded 100,000 reviews on Steam. 96% of them are positive. Think about that – in this era of social media outrage factories, 96% of people agreed that something (anything) is good. Released in late February, REPO is still sitting in Steam’s top ten most played titles almost two months later. Not a bad outcome for a studio whose approach to this release was “let's just fail quickly this time,” after its previous releases failed to find an audience.
