Warzone 2.0: The DMZ AI Difficulty Is Too Damn High
2.12.2022
As far as I’m concerned, Call of Duty’s new DMZ mode isn’t just CoD’s best game type, it’s one of the best shooter game modes I’ve played in years.

This Cyberpunk 2077 Side Quest Is One Of Its Best, So Don't Miss It
20.10.2022
Venturing off the path of the main quest in Cyberpunk can feel a little…perhaps ludonarrative dissonant? Sure, V’s got a lot on their plate, but there’s a whole city out there filled with quests and objectives. Not all are made equally though. If you want to experience one of the best side...
Thief Steals Genshin Impact Fan Art Using AI, Demands Credit From Creator
13.10.2022
I don’t think I’ve ever seen art theft quite like this before. Two days ago, a Genshin Impact fanartist was painting a new creation on Twitch. Before they could even finish the fanart and post it to Twitter, one of their viewers fed the work-in-progress into an AI generator and “completed”...
