No Man’s Sky Continues To Make Decent Progress With Its Big Update

Last weeks’ No Man’s Sky update brought a whole host of new stuff, including highly-anticipated vehicles. While some of the additions are awesome, others feel undercooked.

With The New Stunt Update, GTA Online’s Racing Is More Incredible Than Ever

Trove‘s Blocky MMO Battles Come To Consoles

Trion Worlds brings free-to-play voxel-based MMO Trove to Xbox One and PlayStation 4 this week, giving console players a taste of what it’s like to slay skeletons while wearing a hippopotamus mask and a top hat.

Zelda’s Sword Breakage Is Some Bullshit

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a damn good video game, but still. Here is a bad thing about it: I don’t like that for the first 10-20 hours of the game its weapons disintegrate just by looking at them. Like most other aspects of the game, the way you own and…
