What counts as cyberpunk anyway? Easy, it's whatever games are currently tagged as "cyberpunk" on Steam and therefore part of the Steam Cyberpunk Fest, a sale running until 10 am on August 10 with the baffling tagline: "They say never look back. Cyberpunk says ALWAYS be in the future. Think about it."Whatever that means, what's important is the discounts that will help us fill our backlog with even more games...

Dark Heresy is currently in beta, and Owlcat is keeping everyone informed about the inquisitorial CRPG's progress via a quarterly update. Said update collates news including the addition of daemonhosts to the enemies we'll face (if you've gone up against them in Darktide you'll know that's a big deal), community-voted customization options making it into character creation, and two new companions for us to collect for our squad like grim...

The Borderlands film was not good. I don't know anyone who likes it, and I've never read anyone say something nice about it on the internet. Even its creator, Eli Roth, doesn't seem to like it very much, and in a new interview with the director we can gain some insight into why it ended up as bad as it did.Speaking to Variety about his new film Ice Cream Man...

Baldur's Gate 3 is—my god—three years old at this point, but it continues to do numbers. I don't mean player numbers, though god knows it keeps doing those too, I mean that it keeps generating stats. How many deaths, how many murders, how many deployments of a weapon named "Poo-Scraper" in combat—that kind of thing.Now, Larian is showing those stats off, in what seems to have become an annual tradition....

Last week, Valve finally fixed a longstanding issue with users not being able to access local network game transfers, and all was right with the world. Well, not really, as it has now fixed even more problems causing that issue. But this time, it might be done… hopefully. In a discussion board announcing a Steam Client Update on August 3, Valve said it has "fixed additional cases preventing local network...

Endless Legend 2 seriously impressed me when it launched in early access last year. And now it's poised to escape its development shackles and appear fully formed, as the 1.0 launch now has a release date. On September 17, you'll be able to begin your conquest of Saiadha in earnest. And if you dipped in during the early access phase, you can expect to be greeted by quite a few...

I've spent the last week playing Beast of Reincarnation and I've really enjoyed it, though I am not, admittedly, a huge lover of parry-centric action. And Beast of Reincarnation has loads of parrying. You can't not parry in Beast of Reincarnation, but there are ways to make the combat far less reliant on precise parries and dodges. Protagonist Emma starts with a crossbow and when I realised this I wrote...

Today in news that makes perfect sense, Dave Bautista may take over the role of Kratos in Amazon's God Of War TV series. According to Variety, sources say Bautista is "currently in talks" to play demigod Kratos, the role that originally belonged to Ryan Hurst. Hurst, most recently seen in Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey as Mentor, was injured while filming the series and had to bow out of the part...

The Czech Republic and Japan share an unexpected international friendship, and it's thanks to the profound, unifying magic of baseball. Japanese baseball fans adopted the Czech national baseball team as their foster favorite after the two countries faced off in the 2023 World Baseball Cup. The mostly amateur Czech team lost 2-10, but not before charming both Japanese fans and players with an early lead—and not before Czech pitcher Ondrej...

Remember those 'I'm a Mac, and I'm a PC' ad spots from years ago? Such platform rivalry feels like old, mouldering hat these days (especially to a console-gaming interloper like me). That said, we live in a world where both the MacBook Neo and the Dell XPS 13, two notebooks alike in dignity, are vying for the crown of 'most affordable entry-level notebook' at $699 a piece.The rivalry is old...
