If you've ever found yourself stuck on the phone trying to cancel an unwanted subscription or end a "free trial," you're in luck because the FTC has a new rule to fix that. The only problem? They're delaying actually enforcing it.The "Rule Concerning Subscriptions and Other Negative Option Plans", or more simply the "Negative Option Rule", is a regulation passed under the Biden administration late last year that's designed to...
I've always said that my favourite chapter in Half-Life is Office Complex. In a game all about recontextualising the FPS from abstract mazes into a realistic, coherent setting, to me Office Complex felt like the ultimate expression of that. It's the most mundane part of Black Mesa's clandestine research facility, swapping the hellscapes of Doom and the fantasy realms of Heretic for a cold and clinical administration centre.There are no...
Thanks to the efforts of one glorious modder, there’s a whole new reason to play Dark Souls again. The Seamless co-op mod, released in April, lives up to its name just like it did for Elden Ring. No longer do you have to suffer FromSoftware’s bizarre multiplayer functionality—you can finally take an uninterrupted road trip through Lordran with your friends like god intended, and I lost a whole weekend doing...
When Rockstar Games delayed Grand Theft Auto 6 into 2026, it likely came as a big relief to publishers who had anything on their slate for the back half of 2025. But 2026 is already shaping up to be an exciting, crowded year of big game releases, even without GTA 6. In addition to Rockstar’s ambitious new crime epic, we can expect Playground Games’ new Fable (finally!), Housemarque’s Returnal follow-up...
Black Mirror: Bandersnatch, the anthology's interactive, choose-your-own (miserable) TV adventure, is being removed from Netflix on Monday, meaning you've got just a few more days to sample the series' most experimental episode.Set in 1984, Bandersnatch tells the story of Stefan, who makes a demo for a game called Bandersnatch based on a book once owned by his dead mother. The demo is picked up for a full release by game...
Like most movies, Marvel Studios’ superhero team-up Thunderbolts* went through a lot of drafts and a lot of development on the road to the screen. Polygon recently had a chance to talk to original Thunderbolts* screenwriter Eric Pearson about one of the biggest changes to his final draft — a character who was an important part of his version of the story, but who dies early in the final film. That’s...
Rarely have I been so instantly enamoured with a game as Straftat, a gleefully chaotic micro-FPS created by two brothers who couldn't find a decent deathmatch shooter to play. Straftat pitches two players against each other in lightning-paced 1v1 duels. Less of a throwback and more of a distillation of the classic deathmatches of yore—particularly Half-Life with shades of Quake and Unreal in there too—it features dozens of weapons, 150...
In the same way that, no matter what their setting, many of the Final Fantasy games have a duo named Biggs and Wedge in them, most of them have a Cid. Final Fantasy 7's Cid Highwind is the pilot of your plane, while Final Fantasy 16's Cidolfus Telamon is the outlaw whose hideaway becomes your base. They might be inventors or scientists, and they're often responsible for getting you the...
