When Games Workshop first released sci-fi miniatures for Warhammer 40,000 in the 1980s the line included space dwarfs, also called squats, with a hairy biker aesthetic—like if the forgemasters of trad fantasy evolved into greasy spaceship mechanics. Never as popular as space elves or space orks, by the second edition of Warhammer 40,000 they were written out of the setting as a casualty of the tyranid invasion, and Warhammer players...
Marvel Studios took a breather in 2024, releasing only one major film (Deadpool & Wolverine) and a couple of live-action TV series (Agatha All Along, Echo).

The early reception for RoadCraft, the new driving sim from the developer of MudRunner and SnowRunner, was—like the washed-out roads of the game itself—a bit rocky. Day one "Mixed" reviews on Steam have improved the more players get their hands on it, and it's now sporting a 71% "Mostly Positive" score—but not everyone is loving it.A common complaint is that it's not as hardcore an experience as SnowRunner, which featured...
Sciel is a true heavy-hitter in your Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 party, offering a fairly straightforward way to make number go up compared to her counterparts. While, yes, Lune and Maelle can dish out serious damage, both require some preparatory work to achieve that output, whereas Sciel only requires you to be aware of her comparatively more streamlined Twilight mechanic. If you’re interested in the best of the best for...

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War is one of the GOATs, and in many ways represents one of the last hurrahs for the traditional base-building RTS. See, in the early '00s, the once glorious RTS genre was starting to show signs of wear and tear as it tried to adapt to a changing videogame landscape.The shift away from the 2D RTS romps typified by the likes of C&C, Warcraft and Age...
I liked Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun quite a bit. I'm not a huge Warhammer guy, but a straight-up boomer shooter I can quickly jump in and out of for a few minutes of blood and guts when the urge strikes? That's my jam. So I think it's very good news that more is on the way: During today's Warhammer Skulls Showcase, Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 was officially announced and set for...
