So you've just been shot in Battlefield and now you're lying in a mass of other players' bodies, all of you hammering the 'REVIVE MEEE' request button as medics buzz about, helping everyone but you. If only there was a way to show them how important you are, that your life is clearly worth more than Skidz69 over there. How about money?Wardogs is a Battlefield-style shooter where you can pay...

Hinge broke after using laptop upside down from r/AsustufListen, I've not always been a paragon of common sense; I once managed to bend pins on not one but two CPUs when upgrading my then-partner's PC and my own—a two-for-one in sheer-faced idiocy, all within the space of an hour. So don't consider this me preaching from on high. But seriously, not everything you see on social media needs to be tried.A case...

Insomniac's long-awaited Wolverine is out, and, well, it's not great. I mean that in the very literal sense: It's fine—good, even, at least in some ways—but it's not great, and that's a problem for a game that was positioned as one of Sony's biggest PlayStation 5 exclusives of the past few years.

After five years in early access, Valheim 1.0 finally launched this week with its final biome, a new boss, lots of extra weapons, armor, and monsters, and more than 50 achievements—though those cheevos were locked up tight if you used the command console to activate cheats.That just changed, at least for Steam users. Twin patches were released for Valheim today containing a handful of bug fixes and tweaks, and one...

A fun fact about myself is that I love mushrooms. I love finding them in the wild, I love putting them on pizza (please don't put wild mushrooms on your pizza), but most of all I love seeing them in games. It's quite a niche passion to be sure, but that hasn't stopped me from running around as a little mushroom man in my current DnD campaign. And now, I...
