For all the game’s explosive bombast, some of Modern Warfare’s most enduring moments come from its quietest level, the stealth stage All Ghillied Up that’s set in the decaying city of Pripyat, scene of the Chernobyl disaster.

A long-running mod for Paradox’s Hearts of Iron series, Kaiserreich’s latest iteration (for…
This enormous Grammeowster Chef is so big, and so detailed, that it took two studios—GSTQ Fashions (who we covered recently for their work on Dave Bautista’s final WWE outfit) and Wooden Leg Studios—to bring it to life. The cosplay was commissioned by Capcom for the company’s Monster Hunter display at PAX West, and stands over…

With Overwatch due out on the Switch next week, it’s obviously time for fans to start incessantly calling for characters like Pharah and Mercy to make an appearance in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Because they suck (and also because they’re increasingly becoming illegal in some places, especially Europe), Psyonix decided in August to get rid of Rocket League’s loot boxes. They’re being replaced by something called “Blueprints,” which work….kinda like loot boxes. Currently Rocket League’s loot boxes drop at the end of matches but have to be unlocked…

In asking me to write about this game, released on Steam today after six years in the wilderness, Stephen said that I’d been very excited about Cube World back in 2012. And I had been! Back in 2012. A lot has changed since. Cube World’s time out of the public eye has resulted in a…
