If you think Steam’s 90% discount on Resident Evil 3 is good, Fanatical’s just beaten it

The brilliant RE2 and RE4 remakes seem to get endless praise, but the 2020 Resident Evil 3 remake doesn’t get enough love. Sure, those two entries have Leon in the pilot’s seat, and they’re also classics, but I think the third game is just as good. The Resident Evil 3 remake may remove some vital…

Age of Empires 4’s next chapter tests your will to survive as the “ruthless” Jin Dynasty arrive

The next chapter of Age of Empires 4 is about to begin, and this time we’re heading to Imperial China as the “fast and ruthless” forces of the Jin Dynasty arrive on the battlefield.

Five new Steam games you probably missed (April 7, 2026)

On an average day about a dozen new games are released on Steam. And while we think that’s a good thing, it can be understandably hard to keep up with. Potentially exciting gems are sure to be lost in the deluge of new things to play unless you sort through every single game that is…

There is a snake who hates Markiplier

For nine years I had the world’s sweetest Swiss Mountain Dog mix, Vega, who never knew a stranger… unless you were a man. He hated men. A line of women could all walk through the door, and he’d happily wiggle and wag for their attention, but a man? On sight woofin’ and barkin’ until they…

Veteran indie developer scared to reveal new game in case it gets “slurped up by AI”

There are few game developers quite like Lucas Pope. He created two of our favorite games of the 2010s with Papers, Please and The Return of the Obra Dinn, and practically created two brand new genres, too. Since that grand success, he’s released some understated titles, including flash games and the Playdate-exclusive Mars After Midnight,…

League of Legends Faker becomes first esports athlete to appear on Korean postage stamps

There are few esports athletes as dominant as Lee ‘Faker’ Sang-hyeok. The League of Legends pro has won more World Championships than most players have had hot dinners, and his longevity proves he’s no one-hit wonder. The inaugural inductee to the esport’s Hall of Legends, Faker has collected myriad accolades over his 13-year career. He’s…

Gray Zone Warfare’s player count jumps by over 1000% following its most recent update: ‘Players are coming back’

//Body There has been a lot of discussion about player counts in 2026, usually in a negative context. The ill-fated Highguard‘s dwindling player count was almost treated like a spectator sport, and you’d think some people are willing Marathon to fail the way they obsess over its concurrents. Among all this, it’s edifying to discuss…

EA just cut Apex Legends map without warning, but there is a good reason

After seven years of seasonal updates, Apex Legends can’t let players do what they want all the time. While it has never vaulted weapons or characters, presumably because players might have spent their hard-earned money on cosmetics for each, the battle royale game‘s six maps rotate in and out of use each season. For Season…

Star Wars Zero Company writer wants its cast to have real friction: ‘It’s not a personal fantasy game’

If you’ve played an RPG before, I’m sure you’re familiar with the associated plot clichés: golden boy protagonist takes on a death-defying quest, and along the road picks up several total strangers who become his best friends in record time (bonus points if one or a few of them fall in love with the player…
