New FPS Wardogs makes Steam explode with 340,000 peak players, then explodes on Steam after the servers break and negative reviews roll in
The new military shooter hotness is here in the form of Wardogs, from developer Bulkhead. Playing similarly to a popular Arma 3 mod, it puts an intense spin on King of the Hill, and after several successful betas, it has just entered early access. I wouldn't advise jumping in right now, though, because there's a substantial queue. Joe Brammer, the CEO of Bulkhead, posted on Twitter yesterday that over 135,000 players had been let into the FPS thus far. "This is how many people are through the q

I got this mini PC running Cyberpunk at 85fps (technically), but it wants to do a whole lot more than that
Mini PCs are slowly taking up residence on the desks of more and more gamers, as the best gaming PC prices continue to soar. Geekom is one of the first brands you'll find in a casual Amazon hunt, and the brand's A9 Max model is its go-to for gamers. This silver cube packs the power of an AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 470 processor and Radeon 890M integrated graphics. That's not going to trifle RTX 50-series machines, and the Steam Machine's dedicated VRAM and higher GPU wattage isn't going to be too conce

38 Years Later, A Forgotten NES Classic Is Getting A Brand-New Sequel
A forgotten Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) game from over 38 years ago is getting a brand-new sequel in the near future, though some aspects of its design are undergoing a few drastic changes. Although we’re living through an age when brand-new titles are taking advantage of modern hardware, we’re also constantly looking back at classics. The upcoming release of Final Fantasy 7 Revelation is an example of this. While this is most definitely a modern game, it’s the third and final part of th

How Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 3 Will Benefit From Tech Improvements Made for John Carpenter's Toxic Commando
John Carpenter's Toxic Commando’s launch came in below publisher Focus Entertainment’s expectations, but for Saber Interactive it was successful in commercial terms — and according to development chief Tim Willits, the tech work done for it will go on to benefit the upcoming Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 3. Toxic Commando builds upon Saber’s proprietary tech to present a zombie swarm for co-op players to gun down. It’s technology used for Saber’s World War Z, for the Tyranids in Space Marine 2

Era-defining MTG card Tarmogoyf is getting a Standard reprint after 19 years - but will it be any good?
Magic: The Gathering is reprinting Tarmogoyf into the Standard format for the first time since 2007. The green, graveyard-watching grow threat is set to appear as a mythic rare in the upcoming MTG set Reality Fracture. This is a card that once defined the high-powered Modern format and sold for $150 - but with the power level of contemporary Standard, I doubt that Tarmogoyf will see play outside of Sealed.

Ubisoft Is Finally Making Its Steam Games Less Annoying to Launch
For years, buying a Ubisoft game on Steam still meant downloading and logging into a completely separate application before you could actually press play. That’s starting to change. The studio is piloting a new tool called Ubisoft Connect Services, letting Steam players access features like cross-progression and cross-play without ever installing the standalone launcher. The rollout begins with Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, and while it’s currently limited to that one title, it points towar
