Complete with a fishing minigame It’s 90 degrees outside. My air conditioner rattles concerningly as it tries (in vain) to cool down the room. I am wildly jealous of a bunch of pixel art cats in Cat Isle, an indie management simulation game released this week on Steam. They are enjoying…
I recently caught up on Reacher, after my dad and every other middle-aged man I know had been recommending it for years, and it lived up to the hype. The action is wonderfully brutal, the mystery plots are twisty and engaging, and Alan Ritchson carries every episode on his massive, rock-hard…
Ahead of Fable, which isn’t coming out until 2027, there’s a bit of a gap in major open-world RPG releases. We had Crimson Desert earlier this year, but since then, it’s been fairly quiet as games bide their time for GTA 6. So when I saw a new open-world RPG climbing the trending charts on Steam,…

The DC Universe is already teeing up a story that makes one major Green Lantern into a villain, making this look like it could well become a future plotline for the franchise going forward. A key aspect of this early stage of the DCU timeline is how much it adapts corners of the world of DC's…
Dark Matter has more plans to explore the multiverse. The Apple TV science-fiction series is centered on Jason Dessen (Joel Edgerton), a physics professor who is replaced by a version of himself from another reality, and must now traverse the never-ending multiverse to find his way back home.…

George R. R. Martin Is Working On A New Book, And No, It's Not Winds Of Winter George R. R. Martin has spent over a decade being hounded by fans with questions about Winds of Winter, the penultimate book in the A Song of Ice and Fire series (i.e. Game of Thrones). Martin has said several times now…
HBO Max is seeing the rise of a sci-fi horror movie that makes for an exciting and suspenseful watch, and its streaming success can be explained by a few easy factors. HBO Max's library of movies is one of the best on streaming, both in terms of originals and those that come from Warner Bros.…

It is easy to ask for good things. I can stand on my soapbox and demand game publishers treat their workers with respect, stop crunching them, and stop laying people off, and I am sure someone smarter than me will explain how the best economic system we can come up with would collapse in on itself…
DC fans suffered a brutal loss when it was announced that Monolith was being shut down and its Wonder Woman game was canceled. If nothing else, what this has made unmistakably clear is that Warner Bros. Games’ acknowledgment of the Batman games’ success has made it unwilling to explore other…

Splatoon Raiders is the latest exclusive to show off what Nintendo's handheld can do Back when the Nintendo Switch 2 was just a likely rumor, I wasn’t exactly convinced that a superpowered console would benefit Nintendo much. Sure, a modern tech boost would open the door for better third-party…
TechRadar Verdict If you need a spare Switch 2 controller, or you don't feel like paying for the expensive official Switch 2 Pro Controller, then the Wireless Horipad Turbo is a decent stand-in. Anti-drift TMR sticks are a plus over the Pro Controller, and the robust Turbo feature is great for…
Dead Island 2’s hellish development cycle is still noteworthy even considering all the wretched stories that have come out over the years about a number of games. It went through four different development studios and multiple iterations over the course of nine or so years. By the time it…
Reliable Insider Predicts That GTA 6 Trailer 3 Will Drop In Less Than Two Weeks A reliable insider has predicted that the third trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 will drop in just under two weeks, and it’s all linked to a Take-Two investor call. Even though last month gave us one of our biggest…
Final Fantasy is very much a theme park for the series. It regularly references other games or weaves their themes into the very fabric of Eorzea and beyond. Occasionally, it straight-up implants entire characters or plots. Despite all that, it's done surprisingly very little with the series'…
Forget Gunbreakers. We've got Gunshields now Square Enix producer Naoki Yoshida revealed Bastion, Final Fantasy 14 Evercold's new tank class, during Fan Fest Berlin on Saturday, and it's a pretty big deal for Final Fantasy. Bastion is a main tank, a term introduced as part of FF14's new "evolved"…

A CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate without a bird's-eye view camera sure sounds wrong, but it feels so right. If you're looking for something a little more Dragon Age and less Divinity for your next replay, Modder Relysia has gone and stuck an over-the-shoulder third-person camera in Baldur's Gate…
