It’s not a bug, it’s a feature" was originally an in-joke made by developers before being co-opted by Bethesda fans to explain the jank of Fallout and The Elder Scrolls. Why climb the steps to High Hrothgar - which there aren’t 7,000 of, actually - when you can simply spam jump on horseback, convincing Skyrim’s code that it is physically possible for a stallion to ascend gigantic mountains at steep, 80 degree angles....

It’s hard to determine what genre accurately describes In Other Waters. Ostensibly, it’s a narrative, exploration game akin to something like No Man’s Sky or Outer Wilds. The big difference is that instead of being able to take in the sights, your view is limited to an overhead radar screen. It’s astonishingly minimalistic and very strange. In Other Waters will likely not be a game for everyone, but those who appreciate a good contemplative science fiction tale may find a lot to love while venturing through this unusual ocean....

Gabe Newell often takes the brunt of gamers’ frustration over the fact that Half-Life 3 still hasn’t seen the light of day. As the managing director of Valve, Newell has a fair amount of say as to whether or not Half-Life 3 ever gets made, and gamers often think of Newell as an all-powerful figure who could produce the sequel that fans want with a snap of his fingers. And yet, he chooses not to....

Not too long ago, Epic Games detailed the contents of Update 6.22 for Fortnite Battle Royale, providing information regarding the second part of the Fortnitemares quest, a new weapon for players to use, and the Limited Time Mode known as Team Terror. While these new assets should tide most fans over until the next content drop, others are already looking around the bend to see what’s on the way.

The ratings are in for CD Projekt’s highly-anticipated new RPG Cyberpunk 2077. We’re not talking about reviews, mind you—the game won’t be out for months—we’re talking about ESRB ratings. Unsurprisingly, the game will receive an M rating due to its violent themes, naughty language, and overt sexuality. Digging a little deeper into the rating summary provided by the regulatory organization, however, reveals some potentially shocking insights, and of particular note is the fact that players will have the ability to “…select a gender and customize their character; customization can include depictions of breasts, buttocks, and genitalia, as well as various sizes and combinations of genitals....

Today, the studio has announced that it will be offering bonus rewards to all players of the online title who qualify as “Guest List” members....

Every gaming generation is defined by one genre or one game specifically, and in 2001 Microsoft gave of us a game that helped to change first-person shooters forever.

Pokemon GO’s monthly Community Day (like the upcoming Mudkip event) have become a staple of the game and it sounds like Wizards Unite will get its own version in just a few weeks....

This article contains spoilers for Hawkeye episode 6 and wider speculation about the future of the MCU. Hawkeye has finally wrapped up and it certainly ended its juggling act with a flourish. The series had so much going on that some would argue that too much was on its plate. Not only were there so many subplots weaving through each other, but the show brought in Yelena Belova from Black Widow and the Kingpin from Daredevil as the mystery villain and used them as closure instead of just giving them some cameos and hinting towards their next MCU appearances....

The Five Nights at Freddy’s fandom is alive and well, and with every new game comes a fresh batch of memes. It seems even a dark and often gruesome horror franchise can’t escape the clutches of the internet’s industrious memesmiths.

With such a whirlwind of FNaF memes out in the wild, it’s difficult to find the great ones that might stand the test of time....
