Nobody can agree what an 'immersive sim' is, but OG Fallout lead Tim Cain has his own definition: 'The very elements that make something an immsim are the ones that I also think make good RPGs'

PowerWash Simulator 2's first bit of DLC takes you to the distant lands of Adventure Time's Ooo

PowerWash Simulator 2's first bit of DLC takes you to the distant lands of Adventure Time's Ooo

I've always found PowerWash Simulator's Big Brand Collabs slightly odd, if a touch humorous. They don't always make much sense to me, like the SpongeBob one, though I will admit that the Shrek one does feel like a good fit, even if I am loath to look at intellectual property. And now here we are with its sequel, PowerWash Simulator 2, with its first bit of DLC freshly announced, sending prospective powerwashers off to a distant land called Ooo from the seminal Adventure Time.

New report claims Xbox Wrapped 2025 isn't happening this year due to marketing budget constraints

While every site you've ever visited in 2025 seems intent on summarising your year even for things you absolutely don't need to be summarised (the cards I completed in Asana this year? Uh, no thanks), there's one wrapped message you probably won't be getting this year: Xbox.

Valve discontinued the last remaining LCD model of the Steam Deck

If you still haven't bought into the Steam Deck craze, it'll cost you a little extra to take the plunge now since Valve is only offering OLED models. Valve announced in a note on its Steam Deck page that it's "no longer producing the Steam Deck LCD 256GB model," adding that "once sold out, it will no longer be available." As of this article's publishing, the $399 Steam Deck with LCD and 256 GB of storage, which we ranked as the best gaming handheld for most, is out of stock. Even Valve's refurbi...

Shock horror, Ark 2 has been delayed, with its story now apparently at the whims of Vin Diesel

I mean, all you can do is laugh, right? You've probably already guessed at what based on the headline, but we'll dig a little deeper into this all the same. Yes, Ark 2 has been delayed, the same Ark 2 that was revealed almost exactly five years ago, that was at one point in time promised to release in 2023, and then 2024, and then sort of half-heartedly slated for 2027, before landing where we are now, with the news that the game is currently planned for release in 2028.
