The Pitt Season 2, Episode 10: 4 pm - Nearing The End
It's 4. Everyone's out internet. Waterslide collapse. Baby Jane Doe. Robby's a jerk. Let's go.

Starship Troopers: Ultimate Bug War! Is Essentially a Helldivers 2 Demake, and It’s Fantastic
I don’t know if it’s the sight of old Casper Van Dien really putting it out there as General Rico, or the general nostalgic vibe, but Starship Troopers: Ultimate Bug War! is fantastic. It’s been my favorite shooter of the year. Instead of putting more time into Marathon, I found myself sneaking away to stomp some bugs. I’m doing my part.


The Joffrey Ballet's 2026 'Winning Works' Showcase is Why We Should All Care About Ballet

Developer Mechanistry clearly knows what they’re doing, as Timberborn stands as one of the best examples of the genre released in recent memory.

Despite earlier speculation by Seamus Blackley of the Xbox’s oncoming demise, less than 24 hours ago new Microsoft Gaming CEO Asha Sharma confirmed that the next Xbox will indeed be a PC hybrid codenamed Project Helix.


Ratcheteer DX Review: A Playdate Classic Gets a Colorful Upgrade
Originally released along with Season 1 of the Playdate, Ratcheteer has been sitting on my device, mostly unplayed, for the last couple of years. You can’t blame me. Despite the Playdate being a fantastic portable device, I don’t always have time to indulge myself in every game that piques my interest—even if it’s a Playdate Community Game of the Year award winner for 2022. I’m glad, then, that Ratcheteer DX is releasing for Steam, and I can see why it won community favorite
