Different, but not necessarily better.

According to Sega, Sonic's DNA "essence" has been captured with "cutting-edge biotechnology."

Part of the sales pitch for AI is that it can carve out tedious 'busy work.' Should it?

You remember Elden Ring, right? Pretty good game, pretty successful, won a few awards? Well, forget about all that: A Reuters report says a substantial number of shareholders in Kadokawa Corporation, the parent company of Elden Ring developer FromSoftware, want to give CEO Takeshi Natsuno the boot because, simply put, he's blowing it with Elden Ring.Natsuno appeared to be in a strong position atop the company, earning the support of...

Most Meccha Chameleon clips that come across my feeds depict a hide-and-seek game where artistic skills rule the world. Anyone with an eye for color can blend into a painting so well that I need someone to draw a big red arrow to see them. But I found one player who has proven that you don't need any of that if you're confident enough.There's nothing in the rules about not...

Ahead of Carcass Clad's reveal at last month's PC Gaming Show, I had the chance to speak to Wrong Organ devs Jeffrey Tomec and Dave van Egdom about the studio's follow-up to its breakout hit, Mouthwashing. Carcass Clad is a very different sort of game, but with familiar themes and atmosphere.

And when the Fallout TV show turned out to be a hit, we scratched our heads over the continued absence of a new Fallout game.Now it looks like a new Obsidian-made Fallout RPG may actually happen. Word on the...

If Steam is struggling to load on your PC or phone, it's not just you. The store is currently struggling, with multiple issues shown on SteamStat.us. Currently the store and community pages are reflecting a "Very Slow" status, with several regional servers overloaded and Deadlock's multiplayer API reflecting an Internal Server Error. The Steam API itself seemns to be flickering between normal and offline. The store and community are also...

I like a little doohickie. You know, a thingamabob. A little extra device sitting on your desk that you probably won't use very much, but the design made you buy one anyway.Which is why something deep in my soul yearns for this Codex Micro mini keyboard, even though I have little interest in OpenAI's coding assistant (via Ars Technica). It's been designed in collaboration with Work Louder, and looks a...

It's a little surprising there aren't more The Elder Scrolls clones. Aside from Avowed, the only other example I can think of is Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon. It launched in May last year after a stint in early access, and the response was positive, perhaps surprisingly so, considering how tough it must be for a relatively young studio to make a game of this scale. Our reviewer wrote...
