  Picture it: a suited exec walks onto a stage and announces a new game about influencing and controlling people, about good and evil. And the clincher: it'll all be driven by machine learning. In 2026, that game has to be a dystopia. That's where our imaginations go now when we hear anything about AI and social control. There'd be a grim synthwave drone underpinning scenes of trench-coated cyberpunks. There would be absolutely no apes casting spells. But 2001 was a very different time, and Black

  09-10-2026 17:15 via gamesradar.com
  
  Dragon's Dogma 2 : Dark Arisen is out, and true to the developers words, it's proving a lot harder than the original version of the RPG.

  09-10-2026 17:01 via gamespot.com
  
  Rockstar's GTA 6 is the biggest game of 2026 and possibly ever, but it's not coming to Switch 2 ... or is it?

  09-10-2026 17:00 via gamesradar.com
  
  I recall many things from my 140-hour initial playthrough of The Witcher 3, but taking in the scenery is not one of them.

  26 years ago, the first all-out superhero ensemble movie hit screens. Introducing legendary characters to live action such as Hugh Jackman's Wolverine and Patrick Stewart's Charles Xavier, the first X-Men movie did what had never really been done before, bringing a team of heroes with equal agency together to face a common enemy. That formula would be repeated over and over, and was the first step on the road to the ultimate team-up movie, Avengers: Doomsday, releasing later this year. Welcome t

• A truly great character creator "lets the ugly parts in"

  09-10-2026 16:00 via gamesradar.com
  
  Video games have that unique ability to make you feel reflected in a way that nothing else can, so it needs to include the things that we feel self-conscious about. Otherwise, it just becomes a perpetual youth simulator, or beauty simulator, in a way that I don't think is actually constructive for kind of mental health or just how diverse we all are.The power of a great character creator is that it can make or break a game, especially a game where you consistently see your character in cutscenes

That's the price of some of the best gaming keyboards on the market, decks tuned with high-end typing experiences, feature-full magnetic switches, or luxury build materials. It can't be the price of the low-profile clackers I've had o

  Despite the neon lights, futuristic technology, and the promise of a brighter future, the entire cyberpunk genre lives on the fact that, in reality, no one should want to live in this world. Games like Cyberpunk 2077 don’t just give you awesome enhancements; they also tackle identity and a corporate-run city that controls nearly every aspect of anyone unfortunate enough to live here. Nivalis Nights doesn’t remove those traits, but instead, it gives you the perspective of someone norm
