"Consumers must have the right to own, the...
Valve has pushed a new update to its Steam client beta introducing big changes to how achievements work and how they're displayed. Developers can now create sets of achievements customized to their game, like mastering a specific character class or finishing a singleplayer campaign.

What do you add to the game that has everything? We named Caves of Qud the best roguelike of 2024 due in part to its sheer density of simulated, deep-future, science-fantasy stuff: You can begin a playthrough as a fairly normal guy, and by the end of your run could be playing a clone of yourself who later became a psionic four-armed turtle man wielding a gun that uses blood...

Ace Combat 8 rocks. PC Gamer's reviewer scored it a 92%, and I've been savoring the campaign, because I know it could be years until we get another bombastic flight sim melodrama of its kind. Although I do have another Ace Combat lined up to play after: Ace Combat Zero, which was included as a free pre-order bonus with AC8, and subsequently responsible for the majority of the new game's...

Come back tomorrow to find out what new horrible thing I've done to Rockstar's baby, or check out what I got up to earlier.Following my experience being abducted by a small yellow taxi, something has become clear to me: I need a means to...
Most may know Chandler Riggs from his role as Carl in The Walking Dead, but now some may know him as the director of the short film fan-adaptation of Resident Evil 7. Lasting but 20 minutes, it's set in the Baker's bayou home and takes place during the garage fight scene between the protagonist Ethan Winters and the infected Jack Baker. The most jarring thing about this short film isn't...
