The early access RPG Entropy is a very different beast to its developers' previous work. Dread Delusion was a shockingly good homage to first person RPGs like King's Field or The Elder Scrolls, while this new game is distinctly JRPG-inflected, nailing a lot of the feel and intangibles of something like Final Fantasy 10 or Lost Odyssey.

Gothic stories have a long shelf life. First published hundreds of years ago and tackling numerous topics, the earliest gothic books and novellas are often packed with ambiance: old and creaky manors, moody weather, hauntings, romantic twists, and longing amid the stress of a hysterical era. These are stories about women caring for scary kids, buried family secrets, and numerous takes on Frankenstein that range from faithful interpretations to action-adventures.
In 2021, as studio CEO Pete Parsons cited the company's recent "tremendous growth and opportunity," Bungie announced its plans for a massive expansion to its Bellevue, Washington headquarters. The campus embiggening, which internal sources have reportedly described as costing "hundreds of millions" of dollars, more than doubled the size of Bungie's offices from 84,000 square feet to just under 211,000.

Happy weekend! As we kick off a new month and prepare for the fall, streamers have packed slates when it comes to their TV programming. This week, some of the new releases include Guy Ritchie's latest action series and an offbeat sports-comedy led by Glen Powell. There are also some newly available popular shows and long-running series on Netflix.
Another day, another DLSS 5 story that actually kinda doesn't involve Nvidia itself doing anything, because it seems now AMD GPU owners can get in on the act. A new homebrew app has been released on Github that will allow you to run the DLSS Neural Rendering feature on a Radeon GPU. I've tried it and it works, but damn does it hurt the poor Radeon silicon.
For the first time in approximately six years, PAX is heading to the southern U.S. for an exciting new event. PAX Unplugged Houston, the latest iteration of the tabletop gaming convention from Penny Arcade, co-organized by ReedPop, will host its inaugural show at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston on June 25–27, 2027.
As I'm making my way through the beginning of two-player co-op adventure Age Twisters alongside the founders of developer Piccolo Studios, I'm told the goal was to create a game that evokes the same feelings as watching a Pixar movie with your child. Now I am admittedly sprogless, but it wasn't difficult to latch onto those similar fuzzy feelings of nostalgia and familial love even as I completed puzzles alongside a man I'd only met minutes prior.
If you happen to pick up a copy of NBA 2K27, in your eagerness to try out the first official implementation of Nvidia's DLSS 5 AI image tech, you won't find it labelled as such in the settings menu. Instead, it appears as a simple on/off toggle under the label "DLSS Neural Rendering." And while that might seem like a small change, I think it makes a huge amount of difference in terms of public perception.

Picture this: The year is 2004, and you are settling down for your first-ever playthrough of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas on the PlayStation 2. Grand Theft Auto as a whole blew up in popularity that year, elevating the franchise into a cultural phenomenon, with San Andreas selling more than 27 million copies to date. Still, those who played San Andreas for the first time in 2004 likely couldn't have foreseen that a quote from the game's opening sequence would go on to become an internet meme sensation more than two decades later.
