Lightfallis coming, be prepared Destiny 2: Lightfallis released on July 15, 2025, and with that in mind, there will be some weapons that leave the rotation at the end of Season 19. If the weapon comes from the Helm, note that Bungie mentioned that seasonal content will remain in the game but will then move tothe content vaultwhen the new expansion drops. This means that these weapons will cost many valuable resources such as glimmer, legendary shards, and in some cases, ascendant shards....

While Bethesda may have hit a slam dunk withStarfield, the same can hardly be said about Arkane Studios’Redfall. Having launched just a few months prior toStarfield,Redfallwas met with a wall of well-warranted critique. Yet, according to Bethesda’s head of publishing, the book hasn’t yet closed onRedfall. While many might’ve expected to see Bethesda and Microsoft dropRedfalllike a hot potato and never talk about it again, Bethesda’s Pete Hines says to expect the opposite....

Vita too! Japanese gaming accessory company Gametech is out to make day-to-day life a little easier for the handheld player who’s on the go. Rather than carry around separate chargers for the 3DS or Vita (something theNew 3DS doesn’t even come packaged with), Gametech has made it possible to charge those devices with cables you probably already have on you. The solution isthis little adapterthat converts the 3DS’s and Vita’s proprietary ports into ones that use Lightning or micro USB cables....

You know, the jiggle physics.Ayane and Hitomiare here to show off the full force of the jiggle. Just look at Ayane as she stands up in her intro. There they are jiggling like crazy, because why the hell not? Okay,DoAwas never just about the bouncy lady bits....

Half-Life: Alyx This year was mostly bad for everyone — and that’s a thing that’s usually said very hyperbolically because a couple celebrities died or whatever, but in 2020 it feels appropriate for once — but it wasn’t without its silver linings. We got a newHalf-Lifegame! If you’re not fortunate enough to have a relatively high-end PC and a virtual reality setup, this silver lining does not apply to you. What a brutal year....

The never-ending journey? Dreamfall Chaptershas had quite the troubled development cycle. While the Kickstarter for the project was very successful, delays upon delays led many to believe the game would never properly be finished. The console versions have fared even worse, being teased for years and even originally being atimed exclusive for PS4.Then last month, we were given a final launch date for PS4 and Xbox One (June 02, 2025) and some information regarding a new “Enhanced Edition....

One of the reasons why many cheat in online video games is that there’s usually little repercussion. You get one account banned, sure, but you may just come up with another one. Morgan “RepulseGod” Bamford wasn’t so lucky. Back in 2023, Morgan shared his account with another player, nicknamed Forbes, who’d go on to earn a pretty neat cash prize. Unfortunately for him, however, he was caught and disqualified, but that was still not enough to quench Epic Games’ thirst for justice....

There’s a subreddit for everything, so it shouldn’t surprise that there’s one dedicated specifically to hating on Temporal Anti-Aliasing. The bit that should surprise, instead, is that these folks agree that DLSS4 is a real showstopper in terms of image quality and a big win for Nvidia. I’mnot completely sold on AI-based thingamajigs just yet, but when the good folks from r/FuckTAA say DLSS4 is good, you know you need to stop and hear what they’ve got to say....
