If there’s one thing you can rely on Odencat for, it’s a game that might brighten your day while also respecting your time. They aren’t huge epics that will wear out their welcome. No, titles like Bear’s Restaurant and Meg’s Monster give you an afternoon or two of joy. Mousebusters continues the Odencat legacy of pleasant games, as it is another clever, often silly, story as you go on an adventure. There’s an apartment building with a bad reputation, and unfortunately it’s your new home. Almost immediately after moving into a unit on the second floor, you fall victim to…

EVE Frontier is a weird game. It’s had an uphill battle winning goodwill from EVE Online’s infamously dedicated community, running into a refrain of, “Why should I play this crypto spinoff thing?” It’s gone through traditionally closed, often unsightly stages of early development in full public view, with players offering feedback along the way.It has justified its blockchain integration, to my eye, by repeatedly demonstrating a freeform, server-side modding system unlike anything I’ve seen in an MMO⁠—or really any game⁠—and it’s stuck with the controversial tech base well after the early 2020s crypto gaming gold rush ended⁠.At this year’s EVE…

Echoes of Aincrad is going to be an outlier for Sword Art Online games in that it lets us actually feel like we’re dealing with the SAO MMORPG situation as ourselves and going through an original story instead of retreading Kirito and Asuna’s footsteps. It’s a novel approach, and I felt a welcome one! When I heard about the concept, I secretly hoped it might feel a bit like the CyberConnect 2 .hack games. Not to mention, seeing constant takes on Kirito and Asuna’s stories, even if new arcs of the anime, manga, and light novel are being adapted, can…

At GTC Taipei at COMPUTEX last week, NVIDIA unveiled RTX Spark, the superchip that reinvents Windows PCs for the era of personal AI agents. On the heels of this announcement, NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang headed to South Korea, where he introduced RTX Spark to the nation’s passionate gaming community. Leading game developers — including Korea’s KRAFTON and NC — are already working to bring their titles to RTX Spark-powered systems.  Designed for local AI, creating and gaming, RTX Spark brings together 30 years of NVIDIA innovation to slim Windows laptops with all-day battery life and small, ultraefficient desktop…

Although many developers turn to Unreal Engine or Unity to bring their gaming visions to life, open-source Godot is becoming increasingly popular, thanks to its lightweight structure and intuitive scripting language. Now Microsoft has taken a ‘first step’ to expanding its user base even further, by releasing a reference sample software package for creating Godot games for Xbox on PC.Yes, I know I should be writing XBOX on PC, given that Microsoft has decided to settle on the format, but I’ll be writing Xbox until I’m in the grave. Anyway, nomenclature aside, it should be noted that Microsoft hasn’t released…

League of Legends is over fifteen years old now – yes, that one hurt me, too. As a result, it runs on pretty much everything; I spent my glory years playing on my MacBook pro with Dr Dre Beats headphones and a crappy gaming mouse. Unironically, that’s when I reached my peak rank, depressing as that sounds. If you’re new to the MOBA, or have downloaded it once again following a ragequit and uninstall, we’ve got a full list of the League of Legends system requirements for both Windows and Mac, as well as a link to our handy benchmarking…

Image via Wisageni Studio While character management simulations took longer to develop the same sort of following outside Japan, we’re starting to see more of them lately. There are more Princess Maker style games out there. The Idolmaster led to titles like Idol Managerand Hyperdimension Neptunia: Producing Perfection appearing worldwide. After a few hours spent with K-pop Idol Stories: Road to Debut, I can see how elements of both helped shape this game.  K-pop Idol Stories: Road to Debut begins with a failure. You managed a group that didn’t make it. But one ending leads to a beginning. You’re offered…

It’s official: the AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE is now available outside of China, making for a reasonably strong option if your graphics card budget is around $550. However, competition is fierce at this price range, and this RTX 5070 discount we’ve spotted makes it the better buy right now. Originally priced at the same $550 as the RX 9070 GRE, the RTX 5070 has steadily risen in price along with every other graphics card out there, thanks to inflating memory costs pushing up the price of just about all tech. As such, the RTX 5070 normally sells for around…

License to stream, shaken and stirred. GeForce NOW is dialing up the espionage with the launch of 007 First Light, letting members slip into James Bond’s reimagined origin story from almost any device — no tux or preloads required.  For a limited time, the game is included with the purchase of a 12‑month GeForce NOW Ultimate membership, letting members lock in Bond’s next mission and a year of top-tier cloud gaming in one shot. And for those stepping into the role, the look comes with it. Daring Elite Outfit, a signature look capturing the spirit of a rising agent, is…
