I love Unreal Engine 5 showcase videos. Can’t get enough of them. To be clear, I don’t even care how playable any of them ever end up being, because this is an art feature, not a games review section, and so all I care about is how pretty they look, and tonight’s showcase is very pretty indeed.

The more time I spend with Valve’s Steam Deck, the more I’m fascinated by it.

Arguing over which Halo game is the best is an exercise in futility. Fact: They’re all amazing!

But perfection is non-existent; just as most every Halo game…

Elden Ring’s faith stat is pretty flexible to build around, particularly because developer FromSoftware baked so many incantations and spells into the game.

Video games can offer us a chance to inhabit new worlds or discover new experiences. They can show us things we’ve never seen or dreamed of.

The Ayayo games are a series of erotic adventure games made for the PC-98 in Japan in the early ‘90s.

For those who love the grind, Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands is Borderlands heaven. For those who don’t, it’s a solid shooter that lacks the sharp hooks of a true-to-form live-service game.
