If you watch all the Mission: Impossible movies in order, a clear connecting narrative emerges. Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise), a patriotic, idealistic undercover agent, is betrayed both by his government and the mole within it. The team he trusts and relies on is killed, and he’s nearly taken into custody as a scapegoat. Disillusioned, he goes rogue, continuing to carry out crucial missions to save his country and the world,...
Famed voice actor Yuri Lowenthal has just blown up Atlus’ spot on his personal Bluesky account with a post about not getting to reprise his role as Yosuke in the studio’s Persona 4 remake — a remake that none of us knew for sure was happening until Lowenthal’s post. And for those who keep asking, no, I will not be returning as Yosuke for the Persona 4 remake. I asked....
Last year, I reviewed a new liquid cooler with a screen on it. It's called the Hyte Thicc Q60, and it comes with a 5-inch screen powered by an ARM chip and running Android. I had two main thoughts at the time: 'this is a novel idea' and 'this is absolutely ridiculous'. Little did I know that a year later, I'd be walking around the showfloor at Taiwan's top tech...
What came before the iPad baby? Well, with both parents working various IT systems jobs throughout my youth, in my case I was always destined to become a desktop gremlin. Hastening that descent were a number of games, but the accessibility of 3D Pinball for Windows – Space Cadet was the one that probably annoyed my folks the most. First packaged alongside Windows 95, there's no need to dig out...

These are heady days for Tamriel Rebuilt, the 24-year-old Morrowind mod that aims to build out—in a brilliant and fanatically lore-friendly way—all the parts of the titular province that Bethesda didn't get to. The team has just put out Grasping Fortune, its ninth and biggest expansion, which adds in a humungous new landmass to explore that includes Narsis, the capital city of Morrowind's merchant House Hlaalu.Sitting down for a chat...
I have listened to Myst creator Rand Miller tell the tale of how he and his brother Robyn squeezed their 3D puzzling masterpiece onto a tiny CD-Rom back in 1993 many, many times and it always leaves my jaw on the floor. If you’ve experienced the thrill of venturing to the Mechanical Age and retrieving a few pages for Achenar, Miller’s anecdotes of developing the game on Mac’s rudimentary HyperCard...
Welcome to the world of Elden Ring: Nightreign, coming to PlayStation 5 on May 30. This new spin on the beloved dark fantasy classic is a cooperative multiplayer-focused adventure, where you’ll choose a class/character, be matched up with two other adventurers, then go off to try and defeat one of the mythical Nightlords. And if you’re familiar with Elden Ring at all, you know very well that this won’t be...
It's fair to say that Elden Ring Nightreign appeared somewhat out of the blue, as it was only announced last December. Perhaps even more surprising are its co-op, rogue-like gameplay and procedurally generated worlds, aspects that most (if not all) of FromSoftware's games eschew.But that's what we've got, so if the thought of an Elden Ring 'Lite' appeals, you'll want to know how well it runs, yes? Especially given that...
