This popular VPN has been shut down, and I’m glad

Though I champion VPN services as perfectly legitimate privacy tools and totally understand why people use them, I’ve encountered a number of people who think that they’re quite dodgy, or possibly even illegal.

Dead by Daylight is adding Jason Voorhees of Friday the 13th fame. The 4v1 asymmetrical horror game has a gallery of villains and monsters that rivals the Funko Pop shelf of any horror-obsessed fan, but it’s featured one glaring omission for years now.

Amazon’s The Boys failed to live up to the standard set by the comic books

When Amazon’s adaptation of The Boys was announced, I was thrilled. Garth Ennis is my favorite comics writer, and The Boys occupies a stable spot on my Mount Rushmore of best comics of all time right alongside Preacher, Planetary, and The Invisibles.

A new Deadlock update is here, and as ever the Valve MOBA is packing in plenty of changes. This is largely more of a balance pass than anything, but there are a couple of particularly notable extras. The first is an experimental redesign for the Soul Urn, which the developer is eager to hear your…

System Shock 2 Director Says He Couldn’t Make Space Bioshock

At the 2022 Game Awards, Ken Levine debuted the first trailer for Judas, his first game since BioShock Infinite. Filled with scary automatons, body augmentations and a dystopia lined with brass features, no one would have been shocked had it been a space-set sequel to Levine’s famed steampunk series. Not to be confused with the…

Best Switch 2 Ports – The Most Impressive Third-Party Games On Nintendo Switch 2

Since launch, Switch 2 has quickly followed in its predecessor’s footsteps, attracting impressive ports from other consoles which belie the modest power of its mobile chipset. It’s a massive jump up from Switch 1, but we’re still talking about a tablet smaller than the average paperback, and it’s mightily impressive to see it handling some…
