Since the dawn of time a battle has been raging between two equally powerful but opposing concepts. I am, of course, talking about dragons and drugs. And yes, I know all about how Puff the Magic Dragon allegedly tried to bring the two factions together, but it's all lies. There can be no lasting peace. Anyway! For now, at least, dragons are on top. Specifically the top of Steam's top...

Today's the day that Nvidia officially launches its GeForce RTX 5060 Ti series of graphics cards, with two variants on offer: 8 GB and 16 GB. Many retailers are already showing a variety of different models to choose from, but you'll need to wait until 6am PT/9am EST/2pm BST to get your hands on one.With 4,608 shaders (along with 144 TMUs and 48 ROPs), the RTX 5060 Ti is only...

REPO is home to a band of intimidating monsters, and the duck isn't exactly one that immediately screams terror. But despite its tiny size and cute appearance, this creature actually poses quite a threat. The duck is actually referred to as the Apex Predator in REPO and for good reason. After all, one wrong move can bring your game to a swift end.If you accidentally grab or damage the duck,...

Overwatch 2 Stadium is a pretty impressive break from the norm, with it shrinking down maps and objectives, adding a best-of-seven round format, and, of course, having a third-person option. Though this last feature may seem slightly jarring at first, given that Overwatch has been a staple FPS for so long, it's not an entirely new idea."[We] toyed with it in Overwatch 1 at certain points, just internally, little prototypes...

As someone who has played quite a bit of D&D 5e, the TTRPG system that Baldur's Gate 3 is based on, I knew that Hexblade was going to be good. I knew this because it's almost infamous as the pen and paper version's best multiclass dip—pure, unfiltered value for a huge variety of builds.What I didn't see coming was just how well it'd slot into Baldur's Gate 3's gameplay. I've...

After a few days of uncertainty, there's now a more definite reason to believe that US tariffs will soon apply to currently exempted computer parts and semiconductors. That's because the US is probing the "effects on the national security of imports of semiconductors and semiconductor manufacturing equipment (SME), and their derivative products" (via The Register).The US Department of Commerce's Notice of Request for Public Comments (NRPC), which is available to...

Every year more and more games are adapted into TV shows, and hardly a day goes by without a new adaptation deal being announced, from a second Resident Evil movie reboot to a film based on Split Fiction to the Just Cause movie—announced way back in 2011—once again getting a new writer and director.It's easy to see why. All those previous Resident Evil movies grossed over a billion dollars combined,...

I had a lot of fun over the years with Skull and Bones—all before it came out, that is. It grew from a simple idea—Assassin's Creed: Black Flag's naval battles made multiplayer—into a bona fide white whale for Ubisoft, which struggled so mightily to get it released. And when it finally showed up, seven years after it was first announced, it was fine, and quickly forgotten by most of us.But...

The co-op creepy company sim, REPO, is officially on my long list of beloved spooky pastimes with friends, accompanied by other horror games like Phasmophobia and Lethal Company. Much like the latter, there's quite a scene for fan-made customizations, and we've drummed up a list of some of the best REPO mods to check out before loading up the truck.Don't let concerns over bans or broken installs worry you, either....

One of my favorite things about Souls games is that sometimes the best method for dealing with tragic, corrupted knights and primordial horrors is simply hitting them very hard with a large object. It's an ideal embodied by the Raider, the subject of Bandai Namco's latest Elden Ring: Nightreign character reveal trailer, who seems just as comfortable using himself as a bludgeoning implement as anything else.At first blush, the Raider...
