An initial glance at May game releases almost had me calling it a quieter month, but I think it's just because there's no gauntlet of back-to-back RPGs. I'll gladly accept the breather, but there's still plenty on the docket for these next few weeks if you're looking for something to play with a friend.Among Us 3D kicks things off for something to build hostilities within bigger groups, while Revenge of...

Stadium is more than just an Overwatch 2 mode—it's different enough that it could almost be classified as its own game, and a separate game needs a separate roadmap. The developers have planned out the next three seasons of Stadium, albeit roughly, that'll coincide with the regular cadence of seasons.Season 17 will introduce two new maps, Esperanca and Samoa, as well as a crossplay feature, new custom games, saveable and...
I've been playing a lot of Overwatch 2's Stadium mode since it launched a couple of weeks ago. But I do like to diversify, so I also decided to check out the hero bans in ranked. Or at least I tried to. It took me a whole seven minutes to find a match—outrageous, I know. It turns out I hadn't been blacklisted, everyone was just playing Stadium."Stadium is Overwatch 2's...
The other day, I was frantically crouch walking around Skingrad in Oblivion Remastered, tailing the neighbors of a seriously paranoid guy named Glarthir, and thought: This is new, right? When did Oblivion get all these weird, engrossing sidequests? Didn't I play this game a lot back in the day?Technically yes, I played Oblivion in 2006… when I was nine, had a horrible attention span, and had only recently picked up...
“Cozy games” are a huge phenomenon right now, because at the end of the day, who doesn’t like being cozy? While some games focus on visceral combat or thrilling narratives, cozy games often focus on creating a comfortable or fulfilling place for players to hang out. Instead of swinging a sword or slaying foes, players can focus on creating the perfect flower bed, or befriending the kind golem next door....
Andor is a series built on tragedy. From the show’s very first episode, we knew exactly how our hero’s journey would end: on the beach of a planet on the verge of being eradicated by the Death Star, content in knowing he completed his mission. [Ed. note: This post discusses events in episode 6 of Andor season 2.] But just because Andor is full of tragedy doesn’t mean they’re all...
As we roll towards Computex, and hopefully a whole bunch of PC gaming hardware announcements, I can't help but get excited about talk of entry-level components. Probably most of all, I'm excited about the prospect of an (as-yet uncertain) AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT announcement which will hopefully rock the entry-level graphics card segment. So I'm most certainly excited by rumour that there will, in fact, be an 8 GB...
Generative AI has gotten its deep learning tentacles into many parts of gaming life, and tabletop is no exception—take Dungeons & Dragons for example. While Wizards of the Coast has endured controversy after controversy for accidentally putting AI art in sourcebooks, and has a generally anti-AI stance, Hasbro's CEO Chris Cocks has been on the record as, uh, not doing that.Which is why I've found myself pleasantly surprised to find...
The 27-inch 4K OLED market has been the media darling since CES 2025 so you'd be forgiven for forgetting the good ol' staple 34-inch OLED ultrawide. Funny because it was Alienware's fantastic AW3423DW that kicked off the OLED gaming monitor race a few years ago. Gigabyte has quietly dropped its first OLED ultra-wide, the Gigabyte MO34WQC2—a 3440x1440, QD-OLED panel, with a 240 Hz refresh rate, USB Power Delivery, and a...
