The Indie Game Awards has withdrawn two awards previously given to Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, not because of the debate about what does and doesn't constitute an "indie" game, but because a representative of Sandfall Interactive had agreed that no gen AI had been used in the development when, in fact, it had.

KPop Demon Hunters is Netflix's most-watched original movie ever — great news for the neglected demographic of tween girls.

A String Between Worlds. When you start up a top-down Zelda game, you usually know how things will start. You’ll get some scrolling exposition text setting up the events of the game, and you’ll either be plonked in the middle of a room or a field, ready to save the princess, or wake up after a dream or a shipwreck or something.

'Tis the season. Ho, ho, ho, everyone! Welcome to a particularly festive edition of Box Art Brawl! Last week saw two covers for Mega Man 6 going head-to-head, and it was a little closer than we expected. The yellow Japanese variant (this writer's favourite) just clinched it, however, taking 54% of the vote and leaving the North American design with the remaining 46%.

After another year of incredible videogame performances, I ask Baldur's Gate 3's Neil Newbon if he thinks we need a motion capture award.

But Aspyr "can't announce anything at the moment". One of the many shadow drops recently was Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition for the Switch and Switch 2.

Eiichiro Oda's message from Jump Festa teases that in 2026 the story will finally visit the island where the One Piece waits.

Must resist... Skyrim didn't exactly launch in the best state when it got shadow-dropped on the Switch 2 earlier this month, and Bethesda has this week released a patch to address input latency issues.

Just in case you thought Thief was a little light on eldritch horror.

Bring back Heroes of the Storm then.

First-person jumping is better when you can look down and see your feet.

Every game has its limitations, there is only so many actions you can take, narrative threads to unspool, buttons to press. What about a game that you can only play one round of every day? A game where you "take up the sword against an NPC or another girl-esque thing irl and fight until one of you is holding the lifeless, bloodstained hand of the other." This is the description of a tiny, visceral Yuri Game Jam game called Everyday Sororicide.

New York governor Kathy Hochul signed legislation on Friday aimed at holding large AI developers accountable for the safety of their models. The RAISE Act establishes rules for greater transparency, requiring these companies to publish information about their safety protocols and report any incidents within 72 hours of their occurrence. It comes a few months after California adopted similar legislation.  But, the penalties aren't going to be nearly as steep as they were initially presented when ...

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 developer Sandfall Interactive is finding itself in hot water over its use of AI generated assets in developing the game.

The thing about Big Business these days is that when you get Big Numbers, that normally leads to Bigger Business, right up to the point the well has not only dried up, but turned to dust. So, when you have a game like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, now winner of many Geoff Keighleys and seller of many copies, you might assume that developer Sandfall Interactive would increase the size of their operations. Apparently, you would be wrong!

Gamers who prefer physical copies of their favorite titles may be getting a major win with the Switch 2. In an unexpected announcement from retro video game publisher ININ Games, Nintendo reportedly has "two new smaller cartridge sizes" for its Switch 2 console.

ININ Games later deleted its po...

The end of a very short era is here! I guess, if you care about the life cycles of tech products made by multi-billion dollar companies. It appears that the days of the original LCD model of the Steam Deck is coming to an end, as a quiet notice from Valve suggests their focus will be with the slightly newer, shinier OLED line of handheld gaming devices.

It's a terrible movie, with Zooey Deschanel and Mark Wahlberg in career-worst roles. But it's short, hilarious, and endlessly discussable.
