Original Final Fantasy VII Looks Gorgeous At 60FPS
21.1.2022
While your memories of the original Final Fantasy VII may be almost entirely fond, let it not be forgotten that to get the game looking that nice on older PCs concessions had to be made. Like most sections of the game running at a dreadful 15 frames per second.Read more

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2’s Delay Is Personally Painful Because The Original Games Are So Iconic
14.1.2022
You approach the camp at night, alone. It is dark, but you do not want them to know where you are—so your flashlight remains in your bag. You can barely make out the enemies’ positions, your only referent being the lights cast from beneath the barrels of their guns. You move to the side of...

Naruto Gets Yet Another Sneaker Collab
11.1.2022
What do you think about when you think about Naruto? Ramen? Maybe! But surely at the top of the list is the way Naruto and his pals run. Cue the inevitable running shoe collaboration. Again.

Cloud Looks So Fantastic In A Dress In These Final Fantasy VII Remake Mods
8.1.2022
While Final Fantasy VII Remake does include an updated take on the original game’s infamous crossdressing scene, there isn’t a way to play as Cloud in a dress throughout the game. Or, at least, not an official way. Thankfully, PC players who want Cloud to keep rockin’ his feminine side have...
It Happened To Me: I Got Owned By Halo Infinite’s Most Annoying Boss Fight
7.1.2022
“Ugh, not this bucket of bolts again,” I thought the second time Installation 07’s Adjutant Resolution Sentinel mech showed up to grind my Halo Infinite playthrough to a halt. Then he killed me. Again. And again. And again. I was not owned, except I was, and I hated him for it, not least of...
This B-Movie-Inspired Action-RPG Looks Like An Anime Fan's Fever Dream
7.1.2022
Not often do video game trailers wed my love for cheesy B movies, anime references, and balls-to-the-wall action spectacles, but this upcoming action role-playing game might as well have lifted its premise from my fever dreams and brought them to life. Read more
Final Fantasy 7 Remake Mod Turns Sephiroth Into Ronald McDonald
5.1.2022
Literally what the fuck? It’s been 2022 for less than a week and already the shit has begun. The mods for Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade started rolling in shortly after its troubled PC release last month, but I certainly did not expect someone to go full sicko and give Sephiroth the Ronald...
Destiny 2 Players Are Rescuing One Another From Impossible Mission
4.1.2022
There’s so much to do in Destiny 2 that it’s easy to get lost, especially for new players. That’s part of why Bungie’s loot shooter automatically throws players into new events once they go live, like this season’s Dares of Eternity activity. For some new players, however, it means their first...

What The Matrix Resurrections Really Says About Video Games Isn't Obvious
28.12.2021
Video games are both important and unimportant in The Matrix Resurrections. They’re mentioned a lot–they play a significant role in the life of Keanu Reeves’ character, Thomas Anderson–but at the same time, the film isn’t particularly interested in games as games. Rather, games serve as a metaphor...
Despite Everything, Cyberpunk 2077 Was A Steam Top Seller & Most-Played Title In 2021
27.12.2021
Perhaps it was an understatement when we said Cyberpunk was having its first “good day” when it creeped its way to the top of the Steam charts earlier this year. As it turns out, the beleaguered role-playing game, which has received a number of updates since its dumpster fire of a release,...
