While I have my issues with the Steam Machine (mostly surrounding its price tag), I really do love the way it looks. It's a classy device, particularly as you can swap out the magnetic faceplates to your taste. I've seen some fairly tasteful designs so far, but none more OTT than this marble version from redditor GinoWT.The marble used is supposedly from the Carrara quarry basin, which is the one...

I've only recently upgraded to an OLED monitor, but let me tell ya, I wish I'd done it sooner. This thing is gorgeous. Though it's only recently we've seen prices really plummet for these excellent panels, which might go some way to explaining why sales are through the roof right now. According to analyst firm TrendForce, shipments for OLED panels have increased 26.1% in the past three months. Comparing to...

Big Walk is a co-op only online game about hanging out with friends and solving puzzles. Given we are currently living through peak friendslop thanks to the likes of Peak, RV There Yet?, R.E.P.O. and Content Warning, it was probably inevitable that Big Walk would attract that coinage too.

Rumors of an AI training program have been kicking around for at least a few weeks now—streamer Zach Bussey posted about it on Bluesky back in July—but it was confirmed today, very indirectly, by a Twitch Support announcement...

Amazon's big MMO era has taken its last gasp, as the company is ending its publishing deals for both Throne and Liberty and Lost Ark. The games themselves will continue, however: NC will take over Throne and Liberty for Western markets near the end of 2026, while Smilegate will do the same for Lost Ark in early 2027.Little should change for players as a result of the handoffs, although a...

Bad news: Dawn of War 4 is no longer a mere month away. King Art Games' first take on the RTS series was due on September 17, but it looks like the war needs a bit more time to cook. It's been pushed back until December 3. If you shell out for the Commander Edition, you'll be able to sneak in a bit earlier, though, with the three-day early access...

If you scroll down to Popular New Releases on Steam right now, you'll find a quintessentially 2026 list of games. There's Shelves & Sorcery, a new entry in the burgeoning sortslop genre. There's Landscaper Simulator, which is a simulator about landscaping. The War in the North reissue is there, and there are at least two incremental games, which is not a lot compared to normal.Possibly that's because Horse Magnifier: The...

Good news for the Bethesda RPG-starved: The Elder Scrolls 6 is significantly more corporeal now than it was eight years ago, when Todd Howard appeared at E3 (RIP) to announce it with nothing but a logo, a mountain range, and some rousing music. A couple months after Xbox CCO Matt Booty said the game "looks amazing," CEO Asha Sharma went to Bethesda to watch a "live playthrough" that she has...
