Google is once again crossing the great divide between rival tech giants, at least with artificial intelligence. The company has launched a dedicated iPad app for its Gemini AI assistant. In addition to natively running on Apple hardware, Gemini's iPad app can take advantage of the tablet's split view, so that the AI assistant is open on the screen at the same time as another program for easier use. The app is available today from the App Store in all countries where Gemini is currently availabl...

It's hard enough to keep a videogame character alive on Earth. In games like Sons of the Forest or The Long Dark, avoiding danger and withstanding the elements is a difficult task to be overcome. Horizon Journey is a new game that wants to add even more desperation to the genre, taking note from the space exploration of No Man's Sky or Starfield while leaning into the perils of trying to survive and create a new life in the inhospitable environment of Mars. It's also just announced an Early Acce...

The first Greedfall wasn't an incredible game, but it was a solid effort at a Bioware-style RPG game from a much smaller studio that managed to capture some of the appeal of classics like Mass Effect 2 and Dragon Age: Origins. Its sequel, Greedfall 2: The Dying World, came out last fall to much less acclaim, however, with our own review calling it "a buggy, boring mess" that "needs a lot of work." Spiders, the studio behind the game, is actively putting in that work as it progresses through Earl...

The future rarely looks all too bright in videogames. From the dystopian cityscapes of Cyberpunk 2077 and Deus Ex to the war-torn outer space settings of Titanfall 2 or Stellaris, it's all pretty grim.

Fortunately, it's also looked like a fascinating place to explore since we first heard of the game and now, at last, you can check it out for yourself thanks t...
