While union members outside Bethesda's Maryland office celebrated a recent Microsoft visit by positioning a field of red flags representing laid-off workers and a giant inflatable rat on the lawn, inside the building CEO Asha Sharma was apparently having a delightful time watching a playthrough of The Elder Scrolls 6. So that's nice."The scale and grandeur are incredible", Sharma said, referring to the game and not the huge blow-up rodent...

At the finale of Deus Ex: Human Revolution you choose which button to press to trigger one of its endings while an AI explains the differences between them. It was not a well-liked way to wrap up the game, and when just over six months later Mass Effect 3 came along with a remarkably similar structure for its ending we were all a bit baffled it came down to this....

Of all the other professions I never quite saw myself as a hairdresser, I'm simply not creative enough and my small talk leaves a lot to be desired. But I was still willing to give it a go (within the safe confines of a game) because Beastfolk Barber just looked too cute to pass up on. The premise is simple: you play as Freddie, the owner of a small hair...

Bethesda Game Studios is warning owners of Fallout 4 to either log into a save or manually save their mod load order, because a new patch "focusing on general Creations improvements" is incoming.Bethesda's got a bit of interesting history when it comes to Fallout 4 patches. 2024's "next gen" update didn't really improve anything but did manage to break quite a lot, and the best solution to come out of...

I had the pleasure of playing Star Wars: Galactic Racer recently—it's an upcoming racing game by Fuse Games, a studio filled with Burnout alumni, and while I was intrigued by the roguelike elements of its singleplayer campaign, the real standout to me is its online multiplayer, which is doing something that I would otherwise call ill-advised: Making it a MOBA. Sort of.When I say the mode's been spliced with a...

Wireless gaming headsets have come a long way in the past decade. Practical latency concerns have melted away thanks to robust 2.4 GHz connections, the weight has gradually decreased, and battery life has risen. Basically, there are now very few drawbacks to buying a wireless gaming headset—and for the most part, they're pretty affordable to boot.I've rounded up six for your consideration, with the cheapest being this Logitech G321 Lightspeed...

Prices for graphics cards are still on the rise. Just last week, we noted prices were at the worst we've seen them in the past 12 months, but after further checks this morning, they're looking worse again still. Among the worst offenders, the RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB. With memory being the main driving factor of price hikes in the past 12 months, it's perhaps no surprise that this memory-laden...

It's a frustrating thing to watch good games disappear. We've seen it happen time and time and time again: studios spend years on a cool multiplayer thing, bank on it being popular enough to become a live-service hit, then toss the entire project into the trash when that doesn't happen.That could have been the fate of Deceive Inc, a 2023 'PvP Hitman' shooter that has attracted a passionate, but small...

A pair of clips purportedly showing Grand Theft Auto 6 gameplay footage have appeared online, along with several images of an in-game map of Leonida, the Florida-inspired state where GTA 6 takes place. Rockstar has not confirmed whether or not the clips are genuine, but they look legit to our eyes, with the caveat that even if they are, they could come from an outdated build of the game. Both...

A decent chair is one of the best things you can invest in for your ergonomics while PC gaming. Unfortunately, it’s a tricky market, with knock-off chairs that all look the same littering the internet. There are budget friendly chairs out there, but it’s almost impossible to tell if budget seats are worth the cost and potential back-ache. Boulies are one such purveyor of cheap seats, with options like the...
