Palworld is getting its own card game, aptly named Palworld OFFICIAL CARD GAME, that puts its Pals, battles, and base building on your tabletop.

The promised PlayStation 4 and 5 ports of Call of Duty: Black Ops 1 and 2 have arrived. But unfortunately, these updated releases have left players disappointed at the quality offered for the price. Activision is charging £35 ($40) for each Black Ops re-release, meaning a total of £70 ($80) if you want both. These prices do not include their DLC packs, either, which is unusual given how most game re-releases these days typically come with all associated content bundled in.

Those are some fighting numbers.

Allegedly.

Last week, Avowed and The Outer Worlds 2 developers Obsidian lost around quarter of their staff to Microsoft's mass layoffs. The studio were subsequently reported to be pivoting to start work on a new Fallout game helmed by New Vegas director Josh Sawyer, with a sequel to Avowed all but canned in the process. Cue, naturally, people like me discussing what sort of game the shift towards a new Fallout all these years after New Vegas could result in, and also some voices declaring that Obsidian jus...

Last week's sweeping Xbox layoffs have affected The Elder Scrolls Online studio ZeniMax Online, a studio that had already faced cuts a year ago. This has reignited fears amongst the community that the game is being moved into 'maintenance mode', in which no substantial new adventures or updates will be developed for it.

Apple shares have rallied 15 percent since their worst day on the stock market in more than a year, adding almost $600 billion in value since June 25 and returning the stock to record territory (via Bloomberg). The rebound comes as investors grow uneasy about the mind-boggling sums of cash continually being poured into the AI data center buildout, despite there being no obvious indicator for when investors will get a return on their investment. Apple's decision to sit out the data center spendin...

Oppo's Watch X3 is a Wear OS watch that'll outlast all of its rivals.

Merry Monday, readers. Edwin’s been struck down by a post-TennoCon lurgy, and we were only too happy to allow him some rest, provided he file his Soulframe and Warframe: Tau stories before collapsing into a feverish heap. We even agreed to feed the Maw in his absence, albeit without reaching a similar accord on responsibility for the litter tray. Thus: new PC games this week. Here are some of them.

Remember that new feature Meta announced last week that lets people use public Instagram posts and reels to generate AI content? It didn't last long. Meta pulled the feature from Instagram late on Friday, following widespread criticism over privacy concerns. "Our intent was to provide a useful creative tool and to give people control over whether their public ​content could be referenced in this way," Meta said in a statement. "We've ​heard the feedback that this feature missed the mark, so ⁠it'...

Following a worrying new report, Europe is taking steps toward barring children from using social media.

Warning: Spoilers for Baldur's Gate 3 lie ahead. Shagging Astarion in Baldur's Gate 3 might say various things about your taste in blokes, but it's understandably the way a lot of folks go. Not everyone's got the nerve to admit that they want to cast some spells with Gale's other wand. Anyway, a veteran BG3 modder's now come to the aid of those who reckon one of the white-haired fang lad's endings concludes a bit too abruptly for their liking, and without enough final hugs.

What a difference a weekend makes.

It can't help, can it?

Google today announced that Waze is getting a handful of new features, including some Gemini-powered personalization enhancements for Conversational Reporting. Conversational Reporting already uses Gemini when users report traffic incidents like slowdowns, but now you can use it to suggest map updates like road closures or outdated addresses. Saying something like "The road is closed here" will prompt Waze to send the information to local map editors, who then verify the suggestion and update th...

After a long wait, Palworld has finally hit 1.0 on PC and consoles, and while it hasn't managed to replicate its massive 2.1m concurrent player peak from early 2024, it's currently one of the most played games on Steam.

Vibes. Atlus has released a new video celebrating the 20th Anniversary of Persona 3, featuring remixed music and some lovely pixel art scenes. The new arrangements have been composed by DJ VaVa, while the pixel art was created by artist Motocross Saito. It's not the most bombastic way to celebrate such a momentous milestone for the game, but it feels appropriate. The Persona series has always been known for its exceptional presentation, and Persona 3 is no different. The vibes here are frankly o...

A late-'90s sci-fi horror classic still delivers killer sharks, memorable performances, and one of the genre's greatest surprises.

Apple faced pressure from the White House to use Intel's chipmaking plants while it was negotiating relief from semiconductor tariffs last summer, reports The Wall Street Journal ($). In August 2025, Apple CEO Tim Cook was in Washington to lobby the Trump administration to drop its proposed 100 percent tariff on semiconductor imports – a levy that would have raised costs across Apple's product line. Apple reportedly secured an exemption after pledging to invest hundreds of billions of dollars in...

Games Done Quick, the speedrunning organisation behind events like Games Done Queer and the yearly Summer Games Done Quick, have cancelled a stream sponsored by Metal Slug developers SNK following backlash to the fighting game studio being majority owned by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund. Games Done Quick apologised for the "oversight", and wrote that they "failed to conduct the level of review" they should have when deciding whether to accept the sponsorship deal.

Total War: WARHAMMER 40,000 has a new gameplay video up that was shown off during Bilibili World, 2026 and it looks rather explosive

Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced might have delivered one of the biggest launches in series history, but it sadly hasn't fixed age-old issues with Ubisoft's PC ports. Over the weekend, the DRM and social-related layer of the game, Ubisoft Connect, suffered an outage, knocking the game offline on PC.

Like Google Maps, Waze is going all-in on Gemini.
