The latest Marvel Cinematic Universe offering, Thunderbolts*, takes a different path than the rest of the franchise, assembling a misfit team of villains and former villains from the MCU’s roster to fight against overwhelming odds to save the world. That may seem reminiscent of Suicide Squad (because it is), but superhero movies boast a long history of quirky antiheroes, rogues, and ne’er-do-wells joining forces for an unexpected team-up. It’s an...
Nintendo recently started taking pre-orders for Switch 2 games through its online store, coinciding with the opening of Switch 2 console pre-orders. Out of habit, I immediately scrolled to the “Game file size” section on each page to see how much storage each game will require. Some Switch 2 game file sizes are bigger than I expected, closer in size to Windows PC counterparts than original Switch ports were. This...
Thunderbolts*, the newest entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, has a lot of elements that align it with the Avengers movies. (That’s a good thing, in my opinion.) Some of them are broader strokes, like the kinds of storytelling beats that made the Avengers so appealing: It’s a team-up tale about heroes with different styles and interests coming together, learning to get along, and fighting together in a worthy shared...
Oh dear, I'm writing a news story about Garn47, which means I now have to explain Garn47.Okay, so hear me out: Garn47, developed by the largely mysterious solo developer/artist/musician Floombo (she wears many hats), is a very strange open world exploration sandbox that started out hidden in a Friday Night Funkin' fangame, but you can get it now direct on Itch free. It is deeply strange and you should try...
Whether it's reworked old classics you're after or fresh picks inspired by '90s gems, you don't have to look far for a good JRPG these days. While Clair Obscur might be stirring up discourse on whether a French game can carry the genre name, let's not forget the powerfully Québécois Sea Of Stars, which dropped back in 2023. It's gearing up and winding the clocks for an encore performance this...
While undeniably a classic first-person RPG, The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind never quite lived up to its name. Sure, you technically were in Morrowind, but the game limited you to the volcanic island of Vvardenfell, with the mainland frequently spoken of, but teasingly just out of reach.Enter the Tamriel Rebuilt project, a colossal (and frequently covered) mega-mod decades in development, aiming to expand the game's playable area to encompass the...
Freshly written and ready to go, today's clue might be just the thing you need to win Saturday's Wordle. Bring it out at the start to help get your game off to the best start possible, or keep it back for later, just in case good ideas and green letters seem to be in short supply. However you do, the May 3 (1414) answer is on standby just in case...
Thunderbolts* is the final film of Marvel’s Phase 5, which was more or less marked by insecurity. Starting with 2023’s Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, and snaking around some of the roughest news cycles for the Cinematic Universe, Phase 5 is now giving way to a (seemingly) more confidently laid-out Phase 6. Which means Thunderbolts*’ final moments have a lot of setting up to do, and a fair bit of...
The big news of the day is, without question, the Grand Theft Auto 6 delay from fall 2025 to May 26, 2026. Despite the reassuring words of Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick, who said the company is still going to make a great many truckloads of money this year, just about everybody was unhappy to hear the news: Gamers, analysts, Take-Two shareholders, and PC Gamer senior editor Rich Stanton are all...
Mudrunner in the style of Disco Elysium is maybe not the most obvious videogame mashup imaginable, but that's pretty much what seems to be going on with Zarya, an upcoming "narrative simulator" about a guy named Vasily who's just trying to earn a living and do the occasional solid for his friends in a deeply rural post-Soviet backwater.Zarya—not to be confused with the Overwatch character of the same name—has been...
