Cyber Knights: Flashpoint's latest update lets you two-time a pair of warring factions or ignore them completely

Don't you just love the smell of free stuff in the morning? That's exactly what developer Trese Brothers is offering up with the latest update for Cyber Knights: Flashpoint. The new update for the RPG is more of a wholesale expansion, or a new era as the devs describe it, called Ward War. It's all about territorial disputes, leaving you with the choice to pick a side, pick both sides, or just fob it off for something else entirely. Read more

Even with ray tracing to buff out its bots, Pragmata performs a treat on PC

Capcom’s hardware redemption continues with fatherly hack o’ shooter Pragmata, a smooth and low-end-friendly PC performer that’s far more Resident Evil Requiem than Monster Hunter Wilds. It’s maybe not quite on Requiem’s level of framerate abundance, and Pragmata struggles a teeny bit more on underpowered handheld PCs – which we both know means the Steam Deck – during its tougher stretches of polished moonbase corridors and electricity-spewing robofoes.

The Outer Worlds and Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag share an unlikely lesson: we make our own pirates

“Let’s call this round a draw,” says Coach Stilley, his amiable New York drawl soothing what could have been a tense standoff. “You head back to your end of the field. I’ll regroup my team, and we’ll see where things take us in the second half. What do you say?” We’re several star systems away from New York, in the Halcyon colony set up by The Outer Worlds’ megacorps. And Coach Stilley’s team, the Firefly Freebooters, haven’t play

"I wish artists would take notice that this is a great time to learn some form of AI" - Dead Space creator Glen Schofield doesn't think controversial tech will replace human talent, but still believes it has its place

Game developer and studio founder Glen Schofield has shared his thoughts on AI, and while he doesn't believe it will replace human labour any time soon, he thinks artists should take the time to learn some form of the technology now, before it is too late. Read more

Valve look like they might be rolling out 30-day Steam price tracking for everyone, making it easier to spot when game discounts are at their discountiest

Some digging through the Steamy innards of Steam could point to Valve having plans to roll out 30-day game price tracking beyond the European countries it's currently a feature in. That'd make it easier to tell at a glance whether the discount that's tempting you towards blowing some cash on another addition to your backlog is actually the boon you think it is, or an increase on some previously lower price.

Minos review - Theseus can have the minotaur, this roguelike tower defense gets just too punishing

The mercenary I'm watching stalk the corridors of the dank labyrinth is right to be scared. He's already seen the rest of his party impaled by pressure plate-triggered spike traps, crushed by heavy stone doors, and drawn off the path to the minotaur's lair by a siren song-emitting statue. Alone in the ever-shifting maze, he continues on his mission to kill the Cretan king Minos's bull-horned son, Asterion. He doesn't even realise that he's about to turn the corner into range of a waiting ballist

Homeworld junkies rejoice, brilliantly brutal sci-fi strategy sim Nebulous is finally getting its singleplayer campaign

Hooded Horse and Eridanus Industries are finally adding a singleplayer narrative campaign option to Nebulous: Fleet Command, the outrageously nerdy space navy strategy game that makes Homeworld look like bashing rubber ducks together in a star-spangled bathtub. The first act of that campaign launches on May 29th, and puts you in charge of a fleet operating behind enemy lines in a wartorn star system, over the course of 17 missions. You know what this means, don't you? It means I have to reme

Blizzard is assisting with Fable's cinematics, while the Sea of Thieves team is lending its expertise to quirky pottery brawler Kiln

Xbox has a number of studios under its umbrella, with those perhaps best known for bombastic shooters like Activision to more quirky teams such as Double Fine, which often presents us with surreal and often psychedelic story driven trips (looking at you, Keeper). Read more

Cyberpunk 2077's funkiest vehicle modder has resurrected a cut police gunship from the RPG's very first trailer

As you may have gathered by this point, I'm a sucker for a cool Cyberpunk 2077 mod. Hence, when I saw that the modder behind some of the RPG's most unique custom vehicles had dug up some of CD Projekt's abandoned models to bring to life a flying police interceptor that never made it into full game, you best believe I stuck that on my must cover list. It's called an and they've also put together a short quest to unlock it. Read more

I'm sad to report that when I worked on Black & White 2's expansion I was never offered a weed-laced chilli con carne

You may not be remotely surprised to learn that while making Black & White, the god game in which you can care for a three-story tall cow, many of the developers at Lionhead were smoking marijuana. As Peter Molyneux tells it in a recent anniversary piece for Eurogamer: "If there's any stimulant that aids creativity, it's weed." The developers interviewed do point out that this wasn't everyone on the team. "It would get to six o'clock, which was the official end of the day, and the 'normal' peopl
