That's cool, but can I whip out a six-shooter while my private parts dangle in the breeze and cause a rootin' tootin' ruckus that leaves my enemies with chills going up their spine whenever they see bare buttocks? This is the question I've found myself asking of The Legend of California, a multiplayer survival shooter that the studio currently led by former Overwatch director Jeff Kaplan are releasing in early access this year.

Insanity mode is Resident Evil Requiem’s biggest challenge, so we’ve got a full breakdown of all the differences to make it a little easier.

A miserable situation, all around.

I think that genres, particularly in the realm of games, are often more used as marketing tools than signifiers of the contents therewithin. Still! Genre labels are a useful thing to quickly ascertain the thing you're doing in a game. Take, for example, Arc Raiders and its specific genre of extraction shooter. You know you'll be shooting, and extracting something, even if it technically isn't that simple in practice, but you get the gist. However, at one point in time, the genre of the game comp...

New PEGI categories coming in June could see the age ratings for some games take a jump up.

While World of Warcraft continues to be one of the most successful MMOs out there, Blizzard initially didn’t see it surviving its first decade.

Fancy yourself as one of those folks who stands in front of an expensive touchscreen display on a news network on election night, zooming in and out of counties while bleating about polling and voting data? If so, you might get a kick out of BallotGuessr.  This is a riff on GeoGuessr that tasks you with guessing how a county voted in the 2024 presidential election. All you have to go on to figure out the identity of each county are contextual clues from Google Street View images. You can move ar...

It's Shard out here. Pokémon Legends: Z-A's next Ranked Battle event begins today (12th March), and this one is a little different to those which have come before. You see, Season 8 is a "Special Season". What does that mean, exactly? Well, this Special Season has its own unique ruleset and rewards, the latter of which will see you loading up on boatloads of Mega Shards to use on anything in-game from Mega Stones to EXP. Candy.

A United Kingdom class-action lawsuit that challenges Sony's "monopoly profits from digital distribution" is currently being heard.

Ukraine's four-year war with Russia has made it the world leader in battlefield drone technology. One byproduct of that is that the data it collects has become one of the country's most valuable assets. On Thursday, Ukraine played that card, saying it will begin sharing its battlefield data with allies to train drone AI software. "In modern warfare, we must defeat Russia in every technological cycle," Ukraine Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov wrote on Telegram (translated from Ukrainian). "Artif...

After spending many years as the public face of Overwatch, Jeff Kaplan stayed well out of the limelight after leaving Blizzard in 2021. Five years later, the former Blizzard vice president and Overwatch lead director is back with his own studio and a new game, which you might be able to play pretty soon. The Legend of California is billed as an open-world, action-survival shooter. It looks like a mix of Red Dead Redemption and Rust (Rust Dead Redemption, if you will). It's set during the gold ru...

The BAFTA Games Awards are rolling around once again soon, and it looks like it's once again time for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 to be showered with praise.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and Dispatch lead the BAFTA nominations table for games released in 2025

Well, a week out from the gargantuan merging of MMO and RPG bits' release, we finally know what Crimson Desert is. It's a game that's just slurped down some Denuvo DRM (. Yep, the shonky enormity of exploding slippage whose devs reckon they announced it too early has been fed some anti-tamper software at the last minute.

Audio performances by Shoko Nakagawa and Poppy bring this cautionary tale to life.

With Claude enjoying a moment of newfound popularity among regular people, Anthropic is previewing an update designed to make its chatbot better at explaining some concepts. Starting today, Claude can generate charts and diagrams as part of its responses, either when asked directly or when it decides visuals might be helpful to the user.  For example, try asking Claude what's the best way to fold a paper plane. Where previously it was limited to text, now it can show you step by step how to fold...

Nabbit before it's gone. Right at the end of Nintendo's Super Mario Galaxy Movie Direct, Miyamoto announced that the film's marketing would be stepping up a gear in the run-up to release, with daily drops on the Nintendo Today! app in the shape of collectible cards. These digital collectibles can be picked up every day by simply logging into the app and heading to the relevant section on the home screen. There are 40 to collect in total, and you've got until 1st June to nab 'em all.

That's assuming the RAMpocalypse doesn't revise those estimates in the meantime.

Honda has announced it is canceling three electric vehicles it was months from starting production on at its EV Hub in Ohio. The Honda 0 SUV, the Honda 0 sedan and the Acura RSX are all being wound down. The company showed off all three models, and touted them as in near-production form at CES 2025. Unlike the Honda Prologue and Acura ZDX, which run on GM's Ultium platform, the scrapped models were built on Honda's own Zero platform and would have been its first fully in-house EVs. Honda in part...

And it's not even Apple's fastest phone chip.

Flash floods are notoriously difficult to predict, but Google might have a novel solution. The company just revealed Groundsource, a prediction tool for flash floods that uses Gemini to source data from old news reports. This is the first time it has used a language model for this type of work. Flash flood prediction models need historical data and model training that often doesn't exist. Our solution: Groundsource, a new AI-powered methodology that uses Gemini to transform 5M+ global reports in...

Marathon’s flashy and intense action has earned it plenty of positive sentiment, but its Steam player count drop off is still a concern.

I adored Resident Evil 7. After the series' identity had slowly taken on water over the course of the last decade or so's mainline entries and spin-offs, Resident Evil 7: Biohazard (to use its full name) reminded us all why Capcom is the king of modern horror gaming. It managed to do two very important things: pay tribute to the origins of Resident Evil whilst also laying the foundations for what was to come over the next decade. It's an iconic game, a statement of intent for Capcom, and - as of...

It's times like these we'll long to forget.

Mlem. Nintendo surprised us all earlier this week with an out-of-the-blue Yoshi and the Mysterious Book release date trailer. We now know that we only have to wait until 21st May to get our hands on this adorable little platformer, and today, we've got a peek at the Switch 2 box art. As you'd expect, it's very cute. The cover puts Yoshi centre stage (naturally), whimsically looking off into the distance as he ponders... something. Who knows what's going on inside that head? What we do know is th...
