The game comes with a $50 price tag (and is also available on Game Pass), which some weren't expecting, but despite that has instantly shot to the top of Steam's best-seller list.I won't be able to dive in myself till this evening, but the reveal...

Turns out the United States' new Department of Government Efficiency or DOGE sure lives up to it's namesake. According to a whistleblower report, it barely took a few minutes after DOGE workers had accounts created in the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) for the system to receive login attempts from Russia featuring the correct user credentials.

After nearly two years of waiting and a leak that blew the surprise, Bethesda has finally made it official: Oblivion Remastered is real, and will be formally unveiled on April 22.

I'm a comic book nut, but I stay away from Marvel Rivals to keep my blood pressure in check. I do love the radical, supremely over-the-top character designs that NetEase landed on for Marvel's coterie of costumed heroes, though. You might be surprised to learn that the game used to be even more stylized—so much so that finding a hero before a match was borderline obnoxious.In the debut for a...

Nearly a week after a major hack forced it offline, the notorious imageboard 4chan remains inaccessible, and there's a growing feeling that it's going to stay that way—and that maybe it's not so bad.Founded in 2003, 4chan is—or was—something of a waypoint for a particular part of online subculture: Basic, unrefined, unmoderated, and almost entirely anonymous, which is what made it so notorious.

We're in a golden age of ARPGs if you haven't been paying attention, but that doesn't make them any easier to balance. Since its launch, Diablo 4 has been criticized for its awfully gentle take on the Burning Hells; and though smacking loot pinatas until they stop moving doesn't have to be all that hard to be fun, lead live game designer Colin Finer is ready to kick things up...
