18.10.2024
On the one hand, the PlayStation 4 version of Horizon Zero Dawn already looked great running on a PS5, and selling a remaster feels a bit like a wasteful attempt to double-dip by Sony. On the other hand, Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered is looking exceptional so far, and might end up being one of...

All these years later, it seems folks just can’t stop playing Bethesda’s hit open-world game Skyrim. Originally released in 2011, the fantasy action-RPG has been re-re-re-released on just about every platform since, and is one of the most popular games to download mods for....
Grand Theft Auto 6’s NPCs Look More Lifelike Than Ever
5.12.2023
Grand Theft Auto VI’s big first-look trailer is hitting me with some deja vu. Back when Metal Gear Solid Ground Zeroes dropped its first trailer, my brain had to do a double take as the animations and lighting made me think I was looking at live action for a split second. GTA 6 is doing the same...

God Of War Ragnarök's NPCs Actually React To Kratos Looting Everything And It's Amazing
9.11.2022
In most video games it’s just expected that the main character will run around breaking pots and ransacking every locked chest in the never-ending pursuit of more loot.

NFT Psycho Advocates Turning Players From 'Developing' Nations Into NPCs
7.9.2022
A common thread linking my complete revulsion for all things blockchain and AI is the sheer inhumanity of it all.
