I'm a big fan of the Talos Principle games, and so was happy to hear that the original, now more than 10 years old, was getting the remaster treatment as The Talos Principle: Reawakened. And it's not just a graphical overhaul: The updated edition also features an entirely new chapter that takes players back to the very earliest days of the simulation that brought about the rebirth of humanity.The Talos...
OpenAI is countersuing Elon Musk, and claims the company's co-founder is engaged in "bad faith tactics" in order to gain control of its industry-leading AI technology. Musk sued OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman, his fellow co-founder, last year in an attempt to stop him changing the corporate structure from a non-profit to a for-profit company.OpenAI was co-founded by Musk and Altman in 2015. Musk left OpenAI in 2018 and...
For longtime movie-lovers Ryan Sloan and Ariella Mastroianni, the 2020 lockdowns turned a New Jersey attic into a welcome creative pressure cooker. The pair always dreamed of making a movie, but the uncertainty of the moment — not to mention the tight quarters — created a sense of urgency. Under duress, vibes came pouring out. The result was Gazer, an icy, paranoid neo-noir thriller peppered with elaborate horror visuals. It...

The Marvel Rivals tier list is proof of an inherent truth: not every hero (or villain) is built equally. In the competitive shooter (which added four characters, three maps, a battle pass, and skins), every character is technically viable, but there are some who are obviously more powerful than the rest. Below, we’ve compiled a tier list showing the current Marvel Rivals meta (as of the release of season 1.5),...
Marvel Rivals is a competitive game set in the multiverse, so it’s fitting that you play on a number of different maps. As of season 2 (which added a new character from the X-Men comics, Emma Frost), there are now 11 maps in Marvel Rivals, all inspired by locations from the Marvel Comics universe. You’ll play three modes across those maps. There are also two arcade modes and maps, which...
Larian Studios is finally ready to say goodbye to Baldur’s Gate 3 with one last update set to go live next Tuesday, April 15. Baldur’s Gate 3’s Patch 8, as the expansion is called, focuses on three major updates: an additional sub-class for every main class, cross-play between all platforms, and a photo mode. The developer conducted a handful of community stress tests over the last few weeks, and, ignoring...
Blue Prince, an engrossing puzzle game about exploring a mysterious mansion that is never the same from one day to the next, is the first breakout indie game of 2025. It’s also currently the best-reviewed game of 2025 outright.

Causal Loop is a new first-person puzzler with a sci-fi setting from Mirebound, a team of ex-Blizzard developers. While there's been something of a resurgence in puzzle games as of late, Causal Loop seeks to set itself apart from the herd by providing puzzles that don't just work as obstacles to progression but as a way to decide how you will progress."Unlike traditional branching narratives, Causal Loop embeds its choice-driven...
