Hotfix 10 has been released for Baldur’s Gate 3, and it fixes some annoying issues. First of all, it corrects an issue where Astarion’s voice wasn’t quite following what he was supposed to say during dialogues. Secondly, it makes it so Shadowheart no longer gets distracted and now follows along with the rest of the

Loki Season 2 is ending soon, and gosh, what an interesting show. It’s not perfect by any means. It can trod along slowly, dragging its heels along the floor. It can even be muddled at times. But I don’t think it’s controversial to say that right now – as Marvel execs reportedly panic about the

Nintendo is all about reinventing the wheel where it can – and that attitude follows through even to more simple, straightforward genres – like racing games. This has worked for good and for ill – part of the reason why we’re still waiting on more F-Zero is presumably because developers have been unable to come

It’s N7 Day, and Bioware could be teasing Mass Effect 5, from what we gather anyway. Bioware has been teasing fans with codes to decipher, two of which revealed video clips.

Lower Decks isn’t a ‘traditional’ Star Trek show. That sentence makes perfect sense, right? Of course it’s not a ‘traditional’ Star Trek show. It’s a cartoon. The characters all speak really quickly like they’re in a cartoon. It’s animated, and it’s written and produced like a cartoon, because it’s a cartoon. In reality, the concept

Some mild spoilers for Alan Wake 2 ahead. Alan Wake 2 is a game full of confident moments that reject pre-conceived notions of how certain genres should play out, something which is increasingly rarer in the AAA games space.
