Horizon Forbidden West Composer Blasts Generative AI

A video game composer has harsh words for genAI. 2K Games is already delisting its surprisingly decent Lego racer from 2023. And Arc Raiders is moving to fewer, bigger updates each year. It’s the latest edition of Checkpoint for May 15, 2026, where I wish I was living my best life like Food4Dogs. We are…

MemoryCore combines the best PS1 games in one stylish new TTRPG

The thing that Vileborn designer Claudio Pustorino admires the most about ‘90s video games is their limitations. Genre-defining 32-bit classics like Final Fantasy 7, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, and Metal Gear Solid made the most of the PlayStation‘s capabilities by cramming as much content as they could into CD jewel cases. Pustorino wondered if…

Mortal Kombat 2 Might Not Be Perfect, But It Fixes The First Movie's Biggest Flaw

Video game adaptations can be a tricky beast. They can either go the prestige route like The Last of Us with its Emmy-nominated television series, or be a dreadful reference marathon such as The Minecraft Movie. While 2021’s Mortal Kombat film had a myriad of issues, such as the lack of the tournament that serves…

Wizard Alchemy codes (May 2026)

At long last, Roblox has a free, PvE-focused, wizard game that doesn’t cost Robux to experience.

The Internet Reacts To Xbox Going All Caps For Some Reason

You know, it’s always been my dream to cover the big news. Today, I’m not bringing you the big news, but I sure am bringing you the BIG news, because Asha Sharma, the CEO of XBOX (more on that shortly), has announced something huge–sorry, HUGE–in a post on X: Xbox is now XBOX. Guess she…

It’s time for Garfield’s official Magic: The Gathering crossover now

Magic’s mini-sets called Secret Lairs, which are usually short-run reprints of old cards with new art aimed at collectors, have really been leaning into the joke over the last couple of years. The cards starring Dwight from The Office were a perfect example, and the upcoming Secret Lair called Cats are the Best seems like…

Earlier this year, I dove deep into the Early Access hit Witchfire and came away so impressed that I had to rethink my entire approach to Early Access games. Not only is it a unique shooter from studio The Astronauts, which also developed 2014’s The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, but it’s an admirable attempt at…
