Jennifer English, who gained fame for her portrayal of Shadowheart in Baldur’s Gate 3 and then won a BAFTA award for best performer in a leading role for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, has announced that she is withdrawing from the role of Gwendolyn in the upcoming Tides of Annihilation in order to “properly look after … Read more
It’s taken centuries of human advancement, but soulslikes and demanding third-person action games have finally reached a level of cultural proliferation where we as a society can ask the all important question: What if the dinosaurs could have simply parried the meteor? That’s the tantalizing possibility suggested by Dinoblade, a probably paleontologically accurate soulslike launching … Read more
Less than a week after Ubisoft promised that a new Ghost Recon game is coming but probably not anytime soon, the company says it will mark the series’ 25th anniversary in August with some proper news on what’s coming next. “It’s been a while Ghosts!” the announcement excitedly states. “We know some of you saw … Read more
It’s a little surprising there aren’t more The Elder Scrolls clones. Aside from Avowed, the only other example I can think of is Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon. It launched in May last year after a stint in early access, and the response was positive, perhaps surprisingly so, considering how tough it must be … Read more
Steve Jobs had his turtlenecks, Jensen Huang has his iconic leather jackets. Well, one less of them now, anyway. Famous auctioneer Sotheby’s put one of Huang’s jackets up for auction over the weekend, with estimates placing the value between $40,000 to $60,000.

Palworld continues to prove that it’s more than a flash-in-the-pan novelty. The survival-crafting romp with legally distinct pokémon just had its second weekend since it hit 1.0, following a couple of years in early access, and it’s only getting more popular. The second weekend saw concurrents approaching a million on Steam (961,867, to be exact), … Read more
I like to imagine that, in thousands of years time, an alien species will land on the desert wasteland that was once Earth and begin combing through our digital records. What they’ll likely discover fairly quickly is the rise of emojis in our daily communications during the late 2000s, a process Google is looking to … Read more
I’m not sure who thinks we need a Call of Duty movie, but it’s officially a thing, and it’s coming out on June 30, 2028. It’s “an authentic and exciting experience for longtime fans and newcomers alike.” While this tidbit was confirmed earlier in the year, Activision and Paramount gave us little more than that … Read more
Well, it turns out that Bethesda’s executive producer Todd Howard and I have at least two things in common—we’re both roughly 5 feet 6 inches tall, and we’re both chronic Reddit lurkers. Admittedly, I only have IMDB to go by when it comes to the height thing. Maybe it’s wrong! But the Reddit thing is … Read more
