Apple is increasingly focusing on building its own devices and expanding its ecosystem by taking steps towards a more native experience for users and relying less on third-party accessories. While the Cupertino-based tech giant's HomePod and AppleTV have left quite the mark in the smart home category, it generally relies more on outsourcing cameras and other hardware for smart homes. Now, a new report suggests that the company intends to create a fully integrated experience by developing its own smart home accessories. Gurman hints about Apple working on making smart home products like security cameras for a more integrated experience […]

Starfield is definitely lacking in means of transportation, but the situation is set to improve in the future thanks to an upcoming mod. Modder Jared Kohr shared a new video this week showcasing a work-in-progress mod that will allow players to pilot their own mech. While there's clearly some work left to be done, the mod seems to be working surprisingly well already. Bethesda seems to be aware of Starfield's lack of means of travel, as new ones will be coming in future updates. Last month, the studio confirmed new game updates will be released about every six weeks starting […]
A few hours ago, Valve closed the Steam Awards 2023 polls to announce the winners in each of the ten categories. Unsurprisingly, Larian's Baldur's Gate 3 brought home another Game of the Year award after the previous wins at the Golden Joystick and The Game Awards, beating finalists Resident Evil 4, EA Sports FC 24, Lethal Company (the runaway early access smash hit of the last couple of months), and Hogwarts Legacy. Avalanche Software's best-selling game of the year did win a prize here, though. Hogwarts Legacy was voted 'Best Game on Steam Deck', beating Diablo IV, Brotato, Dredge, and […]
Maybe you finally got Baldur’s Gate 3 this past week after pining for it for months and want some help tackling its tactical battles, or maybe you’re more interested in looking ahead to what early 2024 has to offer. Whatever the case, our roundup of ti...

Valve introduced the world to the Steam Deck in 2022 and it was an instant hit with countless Steam users who jumped at the chance to take their games just about anywhere. As we close out 2023, the Steam Deck remains one of the best pieces of portable ...
2023 has been a great year for gaming in general, but if there's one genre that marked the past twelve months, it is the roleplaying game genre. Despite many being sequels to established franchises like Baldur's Gate, Diablo, and Final Fantasy, they moved both the genre and the series they belong to forward, showing that there are still many interesting stories to tell in their universes. Picking just five games was as difficult as rolling a natural 20, but ultimately, the choices were made, and the skill check passed. Here are the best roleplaying games released in 2023. Also in […]
Hope you had a nice holiday, because a certain open-world space RPG certainly did not. As of right around December 25, 2023, Starfield had received enough thumbs-downs on Steam to push its user rating status into “Mostly Negative” territory. It’s an up...

Starfield launched in September of 2023. But as creative director Todd Howard has stressed in previous interviews, the game was made to be played for a long time. That means updates and changes to the game are likely expand the experience the days and ...
While Starfield was heavily criticized by many, the game managed to become quite popular in the months following its release. According to a new infographic shared by Bethesda as part of the studio's end of the year update, the game has been played by 13 million players. Back in the day, this would have been a smashing success, but as this number obviously includes those who played the game via Xbox Game Pass, it doesn't translate into 13 million copies sold. The average playtime per player is around 40 hours, which isn't too surprising, considering how short the main campaign […]
2023 is nearly a wrap. As we close the books on what was an outstanding year of video games, we also note that 2023 was a year rife with something else: leaked information about video games. Oftentimes very big leaks. This year was lousy with them.Read...
