2019With wall-running and surprisingly weighty combat, Guild Wars 3 is aiming high: “If we hadn’t been making MMOs for 26 years I don’t think we could have built this”

If not for the grass I’ve spent hours gazing at in Guild Wars 2, I might not have recognized Guild Wars 3. With an emphasis on weighty third-person combat and an all-new momentum system, the upcoming MMO has more in common with ARPGs (think Elden Ring, Crimson Desert) than many of its peers. That’s by […]

The Blood of Dawnwalker launched just yesterday, rising the ranks of Steam with its “Mostly Positive” reviews – but the big new vampire RPG headed by CD Projekt Red veterans hasn’t arrived without its fair share of amusing chaos. Sure, there are the PC optimization issues which Rebel Wolves is currently addressing – but those […]

2019The wireless Scuf Valor Pro controller will remind you why comfort is one of the most important aspects of choosing your gaming peripherals

So many controllers try to do the same things these days, so I’m always pleasantly surprised when I come across one that feels distinct. Particularly in the Xbox market, a lot of gamepads shoot for their own spins on a tried-and-tested formula that captures what people like about the institution that is the Xbox controller. […]
