As a series, Grand Theft Auto has spent decades cycling between the same three locations, with each variation of Liberty City, Vice City and San Andreas being more detailed than the last. But players haven't been able to explore all three locations at once since the release of the original.Until now. A modder has done what Grand Theft Auto hasn't since 1997, creating a mod that lets players travel instantaneously...

Despite a poor reception, weak sales, and losing publisher IO Interactive, developer Build a Rocket Boy hasn't given up on its open world shooter MindsEye. Which might be commendable, were it not for the multiple rounds of layoffs, the wild conspiracy theories emanating from its executives, and allegations from former workers that spy tech was covertly installed on their machines.But whatever's going on in and around the studio, MindsEye itself...

The RAMpocalypse, and more specifically the obscene price inflation it's driven, sucks for just about everyone with an interest in gaming. But one person it maybe doesn't suck for is Amazon Gaming boss Jeffrey Gattis, who said in a recent interview with The Game Business that high hardware prices could be good for Luna, the company's cloud gaming business.Gattis said cloud gaming has historically "been a little bit of a...

After you spend above a certain amount of money on your gaming keyboard, you're not really paying for quality, specs, or competitive edge anymore. I felt this recently while testing out Melgeek's Centauri 80. In my approximation, any more than $200 and you move into bragging rights/centrepiece territory, and by that logic, I reckon the Asus ROG Azoth Extreme Edition 20 is worth about three centrepieces. It's an expensive old...

One of your tasks in Forza Horizon 6's Series 3 Autumn series is to travel to Naruo Golf Course to photograph the 1997 Maserati Ghibli Cup for the Afternoon Tee challenge. But unlike most tourist destinations, Naruo Golf Course isn't explicitly marked on your map. To save you from driving around Japan to find the one golf course, I'll show you where to go.Forza Horizon 6 Naruo Golf Course locationXboxXboxNaruo...

We'd be fools to expect much talk of desktop chips at the 'Advancing AI' event, but we can always grab pinches of salt and attempt to infer what talk about server chips might mean for desktop. To that end, I'd say (tentatively) that what AMD has revealed about its upcoming Zen 6-based 'Venice' server processor platform is promising for the Zen 6-based desktop chips, which are expected to launch either...

We all have our favorites, but my strategy of 'use the cutest little guys' doesn't guarantee I've always got the best Palworld pals in 1.0. After my adventures in early access, I think I've learned my lesson, and finally have some actual recommendations for the best Palworld pals for suitabilities like Kindling, Handiwork, Medicine Production, and more. Before you begin your hunt for the best palsHandbooks make "best pal" lists...

OtherSide Entertainment's stealth game Thick As Thieves launched in May of this year, but felt like it should have been in early access. It only had two maps, and though its campaign changed the objectives as it bounced you back and forth between them in either co-op or solo play, it felt thin. Frustrations like the specifics of how its time-limit system worked and the absence of options like rebindable...
