Portal 2 was challenging enough when all you had to worry about was space, but now we have to think about time as well? Portal Reloaded is a mod, released just in time for Portal 2’s 10th birthday, that introduces a new set of test chambers and, more importantly, a new portal colour. You’ll still…
Earlier today all of Rockstar’s games temporarily disappeared from Steam, then quickly came back, likely down to a listing error. That’s fine, whatever, but when the games came back, some of them hadn’t been there in the first place. While obvious Rockstar games like Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption did the thing,…
Plans for a European Super League are just about the worst thing to happen to football, maybe ever, but if we’re to get any consolation from these dark and turbulent times, it’s with jokes about Pro Evolution Soccer PES is famous for its emphasis on how football plays, but it’s also famous for lacking the…
Super Mario 64 Plus is a modified version of the PC port of Super Mario 64, which takes the original and adds loads of stuff like 60FPS, bug fixes, a ton of in-game options and, best of all, “The ability to continue the level after getting a star.” Don’t think of it as a completely…
Like they did with Max Payne, Sex Positive Gamer have sat down with Grand Theft Auto V and played it as peacefully as possible, keeping murders to the absolute minimum required to progress the story. And it’s still a lot of murders. 726, to be precise, most of them as part of missions where the…
During the launch of its new expansion Ultimatum, Path of Exile’s servers were having some problems over the weekend, leaving players with wait times to get in that sometimes stretched into hours. Unless, that is, you were a streamer paid to broadcast the game, in which case you got straight in. Fans stuck waiting quickly…
It has been almost two years since Homeworld 3 was announced alongside a slightly suspicious crowdfunding model, and in those two years we’ve barely seen or heard a thing about the game. We still haven’t, really, but at least today we got to see something This short video of a Railgun Frigate blowing a hole…
The starfighter sim has aged a lot better than the Empire ever did
I am very much developing a thing for more responsible video game packaging, and so this blog by Sony on how they’re cutting down on plastics in their PlayStation boxes was pretty interesting reading. As part of “a commitment to eliminate plastic use in newly designed small product packaging by 2025,” Sony explains how the…
The DCS series has a (well-earned) reputation as being serious as hell, but I think that stereotype helps people overlook the fact that it’s also one of the best-looking video games on the planet. I know there are perfectly good reasons for that—like there isn’t much else to model, so the models the game does…
Because everything has gone to shit and very few new games are coming out—look at you, you’re all playing Outriders for God’s sake—we’re going to be spending the month looking at backlogs, aka the games we own but haven’t played. And I would like to start that month by saying that anyone using the closely-related…
There are two tiers of Dreams experience. I know I’ve played it, and tried to build things, but then I see what other people can do with it and I wonder if we were even playing the same thing. I mean…just look at this. Look at it! This is a fast, bright, colourful, very fast…
Nier: Automata’s original PC release on Steam was busted in all kinds of ways, so much so that fans had to make their own patches. Now, fours years after it was released—and only a few months after a less-busted version appeared on the Microsoft Store—the developers are finally going to update it. We don’t know…
Persona games and spin-offs, name a more iconic duo. Chinese giant Perfect World announced earlier today a new mobile game Code Name: X, which with its soundtrack and art style and pretty much everything else suggested it was a Persona 5 game, without actually coming out and saying it. Which was weird, and led some…
While Crusader Kings III shipped with the ability for characters to have a same-sex relationship, that could only happen behind the scenes, with concubines and marriage reserved for a man and a woman. After feedback from fans and modders, that’s about to change. As part of a blog post outlining some changes to the way the…
The first major update for the PlayStation 5 console is due to land on Wednesday, April 14, and among the additions and improvements to the console are the ability to keep games on USB storage, new social features, and changes to the PlayStation app. Sony announced the update on the PlayStation Blog, saying that while…
Let me tell you about an emotional rollercoaster I’ve been on for the past eight months. It’s a cautionary tale, about the perils of obsessing over PC hardware, but also one of celebration, a triumph against the odds. In 2015, I purchased an all-new, pre-built gaming PC—the first time I’d ever done that—and had such…
AkkoArcade is a 3D modeller who specialises in adult props for NSFW Source filmmaker clips. Earlier this week one of their creations—a large, veiny dick intended for use with Bowser movies—has had to be removed from Patreon after a takedown notice was issued against it. WARNING: NSFW IMAGERY BELOW As The Daily Dot report, the…
Enzo Sciotti is an absolute legend, and anyone who spent time in a video rental place looking at posters and VHS covers—especially in the horror and “shitty action movie” sections—will instantly be able to recognise his work, even if they never knew him by name. Born in 1944 in Italy, and with a career spanning…
Outriders had a few bugs at launch, like most online games do, but the worst was one that simply wiped player’s inventories, robbing them of hours of progress. A big patch went live over the weekend to fix the game and…that bug is still there, only now it’s costing players a lot more progress since…
