March has arrived and it’s full of uncertainty. Will Borderlands 4 suck? Will Grand Theft Auto VI cost $100? What beloved game studios will be closed so massive publishers can get back their swagger? Will tariffs kill physical games or is Trump’s trade war still in early access? The only thing we know for sure is what…
As I write this sentence, the latest co-op adventure game from Hazelight, Split Fiction, hasn’t even been out for 48 hours. Yet based on player count numbers, Metacritic rankings, reviews, and player ratings, it is already one of EA’s most successful and critically acclaimed games in years. And hopefully, EA and other…

Oh, and if you haven’t played the first game, it’s on sale right…
“This keyboard could kill someone.” That’s the first thing I thought when I pulled the more-than-four pound aluminum-cased Lemokey L5 HE 8K out of its box. The first thing I thought after typing on it was: this feels amazing and I don’t want to stop using it.
The term “filler” as it refers to television has its roots in anime, designating those episodes that either embellished upon the original manga source material or deviated from it entirely before returning to the main plot.

It’s hard to deny that spears are a cool weapon, as few things scream “deadly” quite so much as a stick with a pointy end.

Do you like bonk sticks? Do you like bonking enemies with those bonk sticks? Then maces might just be for you in Avowed. You’ll have quite a lot of them to choose from as you make your way through The Living Lands, but there’s one called Battletrance that’s a great choice, due to its excellent increases to cast speed…
Casting spells is one of the best ways to deal out huge damage and control packs of enemies in Avowed. So it goes without saying that keeping a grimoire around is a great idea, allowing you to keep your foes burning, frozen, or electrified as much as possible. That first option tends to give you the most damage, and…
Split Fiction is the latest action adventure from Hazelight Studios. Like the team’s past games, including It Takes Two, the latest game tells the story of two characters and revolves around two-player co-op.

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 was officially announced earlier this week and while it looks to be a great remake of some popular PS2-era skateboarding games, one big change involving timed challenges in THPS4 might be a dealbreaker for some players.
Currently, to play hilarious Jackbox games like Bomb Corp and Survey Scramble, you need a PC, console, or mobile device. And some friends. That’s changing soon as the games make the leap to smart TVs. But you’ll still need friends.
It sounded like a miracle: Nvidia’s new budget GeForce RTX 5070 graphics card, priced at just $550, would perform even better than last generation’s $1,600 RTX 4090. That was the claim CEO Jensen Huang made on stage at CES 2025 a couple of months ago. It turns out it was (mostly) bullshit, but the RTX 5070 is already…

The day of Mario is nearly upon us. In celebration of the overall-wearing plumber and his ongoing gaming franchise domination, Nintendo has marked down a bunch of Switch games that are normally $60.

In case you missed it this morning, a trailer for the canceled 2023 live-action CW Powerpuff Girls show was leaked.
