Dark Souls players spent months trying to figure out if the pendant that's in your inventory when you start the game unlocked something secret. Even though it's literally labeled "useless," people were convinced there had to be more to it. It turned out to be just a joke, but you can't blame anyone for being curious, especially when FromSoftware is known for hiding all kinds of stuff in its games.Now...
Weight classes in Mario Kart World work much like they do in Mario Kart 8, in that they determine how a kart performs. With no kart customization in World, though, a character’s weight class is the sole influencing factor on your kart’s stats. There’s no quick-and-easy way to see who belongs in what category, and since every character can use every kart, it’s easy to miss some of the stat...
Excited about Death Stranding 2: On the Beach? So am I, and so I offer one piece of advice to you: don't bother watching last night's premiere event, which was held in LA's Orpheum Theatre, hosted by Kojima's best bud Geoff Keighley, and featured various Death Stranding 2 actors and creatives coming on-stage to talk about what a wonderful, magical creator Kojima is, and how special it is to be...
In some ways, 007 First Light looks like an easy step sideways for IO Interactive. Agent 47 is basically Bond anyway, minus the hair, turbocharged sex drive, and occasional witty (or groan-worthy) quips, right? So just add those things and you're halfway finished. Except as the studio explained in an exclusive interview with PC Gamer, it's not quite that simple, because 47 and Bond really aren't alike at all.Bond and...
If you paid attention during the PC Gaming Show 2025, you'll have spotted the illustrious Frankie Ward and myself building a gaming PC during the stream. That wasn't merely a prop, it's the real deal, and it could be yours. Yeah, yours.This is no machine for mere casuals. We've teamed up with AMD, GIGABYTE and HAVN to pack it full of the latest and most drool-worthy components. This includes the...
How do you like building your cities? There's real appeal in a godlike, top-down view as you become a sort of all-seeing invisible mayor in a city builder. But there's definitely something engaging about having your boots on the muddy ground as you carve a town out of the wilderness and fill it with citizens you can look right in the eye.Noble Legacy is of the second variety: a medieval...
At the 2025 Xbox Games Showcase, Spiritfarer developer Thunder Lotus announced At Fate's End, "an action-adventure game where you fight the ones you love and your skill tree is your family tree." The reveal trailer is a roughly two-minute fever dream of young women pulling swords made of light out of their throats, dudes ripping their spines out to use as chainblades, and messy demigod family drama.It's got a gorgeous...

The first time I saw the Cord End on the ground in Elden Ring Nightreign, I was vexed. The enigmatic item had a simple description: “Gain entry somewhere.” Where is somewhere, you might ask? Good question. I didn’t find out during that playthrough. Painfully, I relinquished the item on the floor in the waiting area before the final boss on that run to make room for articles with more immediately...
Animal Crossing: New Horizons had the world in a chokehold during the pandemic, but it’s been five years since Nintendo’s cozy simulator. Even with updates and daily gameplay mechanics, many of us have moved on to newer games. Then there are the people who have diligently cultivated their islands since day one. They’re still playing today, except they’ve upgraded to the latest Nintendo hardware. And the experience is way better...
During a series of in-person Xbox demos at the 2025 Summer Game Fest, I got the chance to play Gears of War: Reloaded on the company’s upcoming handheld: the ROG Xbox Ally X. The 7-inch screen looks gorgeous, and the game’s remaster is a stunner no matter what size screen it’s on (I also played it on some much bigger TV screens). But the most noticeable thing about the ROG...
