With the next Mass Effect a ways off, maybe The Expanse can fill the void. The Expanse: Osiris Reborn, developed by Owlcat Games, debuted at Summer Game Fest with a trailer showcasing a third-person action-RPG set in a rugged, realistic version of the distant future. Shortly after the trailer aired, viewers began comparing the upcoming sci-fi cover shooter to BioWare’s famous Mass Effect franchise. “I’m Commander Shepard, and THIS is...
The Great Hobbit Run is a Lord of the Rings Online tradition based on a simple premise: What if, instead of adventures and experience and becoming the savior of Middle-earth, a bunch of newbies just showed up at Chez Bilbo and then booked it straight to Mount Doom? It sounds like a terrible idea, at least in the very serious in-fiction context of saving the world from enslavement to evil....
Almost three years ago now, I wrote about my love for pink peripherals. I still stand by that: The Razer Quartz Huntsman V2 TKL, Blackshark V2 X headset are still my go-to accessories on my desk, while the Barracuda wireless headset comes with me every time I leave the house. They feel great to use and, more importantly, make me feel downright adorable.I continue to yearn for more colourful PC...

Time Flies — a game in which players step into the shoes (er, wings?) of a common housefly with a brief lifespan and a long bucket list — finally has a release date. Publisher Panic (Firewatch, Untitled Goose Game) and developer Playables (KIDS, Plug & Play) first announced the game during 2022’s Summer Game Fest, but it’s been crickets from the devs in the years since. Now, however, Time Flies...
Glitches are a funny thing. If a game has too many, the experience might be ruined. But as Bethesda has repeatedly proven, there’s definitely a middle ground for glitches as well. A game can be rife with unintended moments, but if they’re harmless — or better yet, funny — a player is much more willing to forgive digital mishaps. When it comes to The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, Cyrodiil...
Dead by Daylight is welcoming some familiar faces from AMC’s The Walking Dead into the Fog as playable Survivors: the husband and wife team of Rick Grimes and Michonne (aka The Ones Who Live).
