100 Turns With Endless Space 2, A Game About Problems In Space

I reviewed the original Endless Space back in 2012, and found it a pretty snappy little 4X game, albeit one with a distinct lack of personality.

One of the most surprising things about Gears of War 4 for me was the discovery that, after all these years, shooting wave after wave of increasingly difficult enemies could still be really fun. To the franchise’s credit, Gears of War has steadily introduced complexities to the basic idea to keep it fresh. In Gears…

Two members of hacking groups Lizard Squad and PoodleCorp were charged yesterday with “conspiring to cause damage to protected computers,” the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Illinois said in a statement.

Mafia III‘s Framerate Is Capped On PC, But Devs Say That Will Change ‘Soon’

Mafia III is just hours away from launching, but it’s already in the hands of reviewers. Unfortunately, they’ve discovered that the PC version’s framerate is capped at 30 FPS. Now 2K’s dealing with one hell of an angry mob—and not the organized, suit-wearing kind. As a rule, PC gamers prefer un-capped framerates, given that their…
