I've just watched Iron Gate's Gamescom preview of Valheim 1.0, the survival game's biggest update to date. There's a bowl of assorted candy on the table; laughter is flowing, the vibes are, to go all Gen Z, immaculate. Amid levity, joking, and myriad virtual moose, I ask Art Director and Creative Lead, Robin 'Grimmcore' Eyre, [...]

I'd be a liar if I said that Stranger Than Heaven's decision to feature late rapper, Tupac Shakur, didn't catch me off guard. Murdered in 1996 aged 25, the open case has ran for 30 years, only finally being closed on Tuesday, September 1 2026 with the conviction of Duane 'Keffe D' Davis. Shot near [...]

As a result, it runs on pretty much everything; I spent my glory years playing on my MacBook pro with Dr Dre Beats headphones and a crappy gaming mouse. Unironically, that's when I reached my peak rank, depressing as [...]

Utilizing new AI systems to bring graphics more in line with Hollywood's realism, the tech rolls out on September 3 alongside 2K's latest, and will be available on all 50 series products, as well as GeForce [...]

I consider myself to be relatively good at videogames, especially MOBAs. After seven years of playing League of Legends you'd hope I was a pretty decent support, and that said skills would translate across to Valve's Deadlock. Having picked it up for the first time in months just a few weeks ago, I can confirm [...]

I've never been there on 'day one.' Overwatch; League of Legends; World of Warcraft - all games that I've joined in on further down the line; communities I've assimilated into, not always been a part of.
