The Royal Shakespeare Company has announced a Her Story-like game where you hack into Lady MacBeth’s computer
Here’s some videogame news you don’t see every day. The Royal Shakespeare Company, known mainly for its contemporary adaptations of the Bard’s plays, has announced a video game adaptation of MacBeth.

Celeste developer Extremely Ok Games has announced the “difficult decision” to cancel its follow-up project Earthblade, citing long term creative difficulties compounded by a conflict within the studio regarding the rights to Celeste.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Season 2 will let players battle on boats and bullet-trains, with the Terminator entering the fray ‘shortly after launch’
I thought I was above getting excited over brand crossovers in multiplayer shooters, so it is to my great shame I admit my heart rate spiked when Activision revealed the Terminator is coming to Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. Look, everybody has a weakness, and there hasn’t been a good Terminator film in over […]
‘That’s why they call me the Elden Ring sicko’ proclaims streamer as he beats FromSoft’s RPG at NG+1000 without taking a single hit
As someone who struggled to beat Elden Ring on its standard difficulty, I’m constantly amazed by the streaming community’s ability to wrestle FromSoftware’s RPG to the ground with a reality-defying number of limbs tied behind its back. Whether that’s MissMikkaa beating the game all the way through to NG+7 with a level 1 character, or […]

I know base-builder fans are always on the lookout for a new open world co-op game to dive into with their pals… and while I don’t have a new one to tempt you with today, there is one from a few years ago that you might not have heard of. I hadn’t, and I play […]
WoW’s Plunderstorm battle royale mode is much more popular the second time around: ‘I can just play and screw around’
World of Warcraft’s controversial battle royale mode relaunched a week ago, once again pitting PvE mount and transmog collectors against hardcore PvP enjoyers. And this time around… almost no one is complaining. Blizzard made some smart changes to the way its pirate-themed Plunderstorm worked. The rate of earning plunder, the game mode’s currency, has increased. […]
Dynasty Warriors: Origins goaded me into spending an hour trying to beat Lu Bu, then gave me nothing for winning—and I loved it
The last mainline Dynasty Warriors game I played is so old that it could buy me a drink, but I still remembered the five immortal words uttered by ardent fans when I booted up Dynasty Warriors: Origins: Do not pursue Lu Bu. When I first came face-to-face with the infamous warlord in Origins, the game […]
A European storefront listing suggests the RTX 5070 Ti may be launching on February 20 and there might actually be a good reason to believe it
With the Nvidia RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 launching next week, many potential buyers have been eyeing up the more budget-oriented (okay, they’re still going to be quite expensive) cards from the 50 series and we could potentially get them as soon as February 20. However, as always before the launch of a major card, […]
Adata SE880 1 TB external SSD review
It’s difficult to get excited about slightly older external SSDs, but sometimes they can surprise you—the Crucial X9, for instance, certainly surprised me with its consistent performance and low price tag. Unfortunately, the SE880 is not such a pleasant surprise. It’s fine for what it is, but “fine” is all, and there are better options […]
Scalpers are already trying to rip off gamers by flipping RTX 5090 graphics cards they don’t actually have for up to $7,000
Marginally less inevitable than the relentless march of cosmic entropy and ensuing heat death of the universe is the near-certainty that scalpers will try to make a quick buck on the latest high-end GPU from Nvidia. Enter the imminent RTX 5090 and eBay listings of up to $7,000. Of course, in theory, none of the […]
Coder creates an ‘infinite maze’ to snare AI bots in an act of ‘sheer unadulterated rage at how things are going’ on the content-scraped web
I’m getting a little tired of our deep-learning future, folks. While generative AI and deep learning technology isn’t inherently bad—it’s being used for folding proteins and advancing medical science, for example—the routine doling-out of slop has everyone paranoid, content trawlers are scraping through the web sucking up everything in sight, and an endless parade of […]
