Some days, I wonder if every word written before a trailer is actually superfluous. It’s a visual medium, after all. What can a description achieve save to clumsily gesture at the true shape of something; a dog-eared tour brochure for a thrilling weekend spelunking in Plato’s cave?

Does your Rook believe in the Maker, the Dragon Age equivalent of God? What’s […]
If you’re looking for an arcade-style shooter with a sweet-sweet twist then Ben Walter‘s Long Live The Hive might bee the one for you. Ignore my preposterous punning.

If so, you’re in luck: one enterprising modder has now released an “impossible” mod that slings a chronological spanner in the works […]
Hey Insiders! Happy Halloween to those who celebrate. The team is currently heads down working (and not at all playing Black Ops 6 between meetings) on getting the next releases and game previews ready. It’s been a while since we posted one of these. We wanted to touch base to give you an update about […]
Rumors of a revival of the classic animated series Spider-Man ’97 have been circulating since the success of the Disney+ show X-Men ’97. The original voice actor for Peter Parker, Christopher Daniel Barnes, has spoken up about the situation, too. Barnes posted on X (formerly Twitter) to talk about the love the show had received […]
