It's an unfortunate rite of passage nowadays for popular indie games to have their concept taken from them by ripoffs that are devoid of any real creativity. The latest casualty? Meccha Chameleon, which has now been pilferred by copycats across Steam, Fortnite, and Roblox. The most egregious example, and the one that brought this to my attention (thanks GamesRadar), is Scribble Hunt, a game where you "paint the bunny man—a...
The lack of a Grand Theft Auto 6 PC port at launch is a sore spot for those of us faithful to the ol' mouse and keyboard. Sure, it's not new for Rockstar to prioritise console over PC (it's got a marketing deal with Sony, after all), especially with new game launches, but I thought we were beyond that. But we've got Phantom Vice Auto to look forward to on...
Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced is, naturally, a modern Ubisoft game—and as modern Ubisoft games are wont to do, it had some really annoying DLC wrapped up into it alongside an in-game cash shop. One point of contention was a day-one map pack DLC for five bucks, which reveals the location of every collectible in game, thus defeating the purpose of… y'know, looking for and collecting them.What did Ubisoft reap...
As much as AI has its drawbacks, it'd be wrong to say it doesn't have its uses. Case in point, Microsoft's previous commitment to leverage AI vulnerability detection in Windows security updates looks to be bearing fruit, as the latest Patch Tuesday release fixes an astonishing 622 CVEs across its products.Which is a new record, according to The Register, more than tripling the previous 206 CVE figure. Over 500 of...
Glenn Schofield, the creator of Dead Space and The Callisto Protocol, has announced his retirement after 35 years in the industry. In a LinkedIn video post, Schofield thanked his family, Electronic Arts and Activision, and "the people who supported us in videogames"."The past couple of decades have been some of the greatest times in videogames," Schofield said. "Some of the best games have come out over these times, [from] some...
I was hoping to find a vendor selling Nightstar Sand after starting a new save for the Palworld 1.0 release, but it seems the mid-game crafting ingredient is still only available through good ol' fashioned gathering. You'll have to pick it all up by hand to craft several items from tech tree recipes starting around level 56.Fortunately, I was farming this stuff in early access, so I know a thing...
In 2023, I reported that the development team of then-upcoming fighting game Diesel Legacy included Mike Zaimont, previously a developer on Skullgirls and Indivisible who had been accused of sexual misconduct at Lab Zero, the indie studio behind those games. Diesel Legacy released to little fanfare more than a year later, but the next fighting game from the team behind it, Gameplay Group International, has accumulated significantly more buzz. That...
Have you ever thought to yourself, I bet Steve Buscemi would make a good Far Cry villain? I think he would. He's charismatic, superficially good-natured, kind of odd looking, extremely high-strung, and prone to sudden, sometimes random outbursts of extreme violence. And I'm not the only one who thinks so—the people making the live-action Far Cry series for FX do, too.Word of Buscemi's big role was delivered by the official...

Have you noticed that things have been kind of quiet on the Ubisoft front lately? Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced is doing quite well, but what else has it done for us lately? Where's the new Far Cry? What's going on with Ghost Recon, The Division, Prince of Persia Where is my Splinter Cell?In its 2025-26 Universal Registration Document and Annual Financial Report (via GamesRadar), Ubisoft shared a bit of...
