It’s been six years since Darksiders II, and I’m as surprised as the next person that we ever got to see this sequel. THQ folded, Vigil Games followed suit, and the rights to Darksiders were scattered to the wind like ash. Against impossible odds, the team from Vigil

When Hitman (2016) was announced as an episodic game developed by a studio I’d never heard of called IO Interactive, I was skeptical, to say the least. To my surprise, that game brought a fresh new take to a franchise that had gotten stale and ended up being one

Carlos keeps a tight grip on his pistol—his only lifeline in a country crumbling under the weight of war. He can hear it all: The roar of enemy machine guns tearing through the freshly emptied husks of his fallen comrades. A thousand sets of steel-toed boots advancing on his

Cartoons have evolved tremendously over the years, making their way from being simplistic, black and white amusements to complex and colorful creations that grace our screens today. While today’s animation has been streamlined by the advent of CGI, the cartoons of yesteryear were born out of weeks of painstaking

With Fallout 76, Bethesda Softworks took one of its biggest leaps by tweaking the proven Fallout formula, and turning it into an online, multiplayer experience. It’s a move that fans have been hungry for since almost as long as there have been Fallout games, and only a few short

Juvty Worlds recently announced that it will release its battle royale/action-RPG mashup Dungellion for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC, with a closed beta coming for PC later this year. The game is described as The Binding of Isaac meets PUBG, with fantasy elements in a fast-paced

Tabletop RPGs like Dungeons and Dragons have had a tremendous influence on their digital counterparts, from the creatures that inhabit their worlds down to the rules of the game and the words we use to describe our characters. Translating those RPGs directly into video games can be extraordinarily tricky, though,

There are a ton of great Black Friday deals out there, and peripherial and battery manufacturer Aukey has more than a few goodies to share today. Running from now through the 26th of November, you can pick up a wide variety of battery chargers, wall outlet augments, keyboards, quickcharge hubs,

I recently obtained a Meta Quest 3S which is, overall, pretty great. But like many electronics it came with a downside in that it constantly needs to be charged. Worse yet, the controllers take AA batteries. BATTERIES! Not rechargeable lithium ion like you would expect. That means I either need

I’m mad at Chris Matthew. Like I said in my review, I quite enjoy my time with An Age Contrived, but the Folklore & Pilgrimage expansion fills in some holes I didn’t notice were there until I played with it, and now I’ve got to wait until

I’ll never forget my first interaction on Kickstarter. A little game made by Warhorse Studios called Kingdom Come: Deliverance – a medieval RPG – needed support. Given my affinity for not only RPGs but the historical nature of the game, I backed it instantly, and the rest is history. Now, almost
![Memories of a lifetime in indie film — Flying in: My Adventures in Filmmaking with Gretchen McGowan](/content/images/size/w320/2025/02/f1-jpg.webp)
Flying In: My Adventures in Filmmaking was a thoughtful, refreshing look at the state of independent filmmaking, and in no way what I was expecting. When I first heard of the memoir, I was not enthused at the idea of a producer talking about themselves. I pictured self-aggrandizing stories of
![Hello Kitty Island Adventure review — The pinnacle of cozy gaming we have been waiting for](/content/images/size/w320/2025/02/img_6747.jpg)
Hello Kitty Island Adventure has to unironically be one of the most anticipated releases in the cozy community ever since it started making waves on Apple Arcade. From its status as a meme from South Park and being trapped behind a mobile gaming wall, it was hard to believe it

Most people seem content with laptops and tablets, but personally, I need a desktop computer. A big reason behind that is gaming, yes, but it also helps a lot to have work stuff in a specific place that I cannot move. It lets me more easily take breaks without being

Drybrushing isn’t a new technique in the miniature painting hobby. For years, hobbyists have done the same technique, where they use a brush with a flat tip, grab some paint, wipe off a ton of it on a paper towel, which is aimed at removing moisture from the paint,
