Aside from cryptocurrency mining, GPU shortages, and Covid-19, what else does the year 2021 elicit from your memory? The launch of the RTX 3080 Ti, of course! This high-end card launched with nearly as many CUDA cores, RT cores, and Tensor cores as the RTX 3090 for a little less money, but it had one downside: less VRAM. Well, the RTX 3080 Ti that actually launched did anyways. For another...

In late 2023, Hello Games announced Light No Fire, a grand fantasy follow-up to sci-fi hit No Man's Sky. The reveal promised a sprawling world—literally the size of our own Earth—to make your own in a survival adventure. It was a huge promise, perhaps too much for a studio with a history of overpromising.Since then we've got nearly nothing. No more big promises, no more trailers. No fuel for some...
Five Nights at Freddy's: Secret of the Mimic released last week as the latest in the long-running horror series, and quickly jumped to top of Steam's top sellers chart. It's now slid down a few places, but 11 years on from the original FNAF's 2014 release, it's clear that the series is still popular.Secret of the Mimic even briefly unseated Dune: Awakening as the top selling game on Steam, and...

CMON started as CoolMiniOrNot.com before turning its hand to board game publishing, having an early hit with co-operative miniatures game Zombicide in 2012. A fast-paced dice-chucker, Zombicide was funded by a $781,597 Kickstarter that provided the model for CMON's subsequent releases—many of them Zombicide spin-offs, reskinning it as a western or fantasy or post-apocalyptic, or rebranding it with Marvel superheroes or, more recently, Monty Python's Flying Circus of all the...

Amidst all the Summer Game Fest announcements and shadow drops, there’s still one game holding my attention like none other: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Specifically, its postgame, which includes more content than some AAA full releases. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is divided into three acts (missed opportunity not to have 33 acts), but there is so much more to do after you beat the story’s final boss. While you can...
Call of Duty and Battlefield may only occasionally dip into the Second World War these days, with CoD's most recent Nazi battering entry being 2023's Call of Duty: Vanguard, while Battlefield hasn't so much as sniffed an M1 Garand since 2018's Battlefield 5. But there are plenty of other shooters dedicated to replicating history's most destructive conflict in virtual form. One such example is Team17's well-regarded 2021 shooter Hell Let...
Following Grand Theft Auto 6’s retreat into 2026, last week’s launch of Nintendo Switch 2 will likely stand as the gaming event of 2025. And at the center of that launch is Mario Kart World, an ambitious sequel to one of the best-selling games of all time from perhaps the single most revered game studio in the world: Nintendo Entertainment Planning & Development (to give Nintendo’s game development arm its...
Aside from when it's wildly out of whack with the game world, I don't think about the height of videogame characters much. At a modest 5'7, I generally assume that most videogame protagonists are taller than me. There have been a few occasions where a character's canonical height has surprised me, though. For example, a while back I read that Thief's antihero Garrett was a strapping six footer, but a...
