When Harmonix announced a Fig crowdfunding campaign for Rock Band 4’s PC port in March, it seemed unlikely to fail. In addition to bringing a very popular series to PC for the first time, it was also poised to better its console versions, what with Steam Workshop compatibility and (wait for it) mouse and keyboard support. Alas, it was...
It feels like a long time ago now, but just last week many were outraged about the imminent removal of a bum from Overwatch. The Tracer buttroversy, which reached wider and went on for longer than anyone surely dared dream, occurred in the wake of Blizzard’s decision to change the character’s victory pose to something slightly less butt-focused.

Ice-Pick Lodge has released a dozen “environment draft” screenshots from the first build of its Pathologic “reimagining,” which actually look an awful lot like the original—stylistically, anyway. More interestingly, it also revealed a bit about which elements of the game will remain the same, and which are undergoing “drastic changes” in the new release. The...
We’ve already looked at the new “Falcon Lost” incursion that will be added to The Division in the upcoming 1.1 update, and more recently (as in, earlier today) the “/report” function that will give players the ability to report cheating from within the game. But The Division is a big game, and this is a pretty...

To promote the launch of the HTC Vive this week (our review is on the way), Valve has put up a few montages of different demos and games on the SteamVR page. Most of these excerpts are stuff we’ve already played, but one of them stands out: a glance at what appears to be a VR spectator mode in development for Dota 2....
Samsung is in full gloat mode over having begun mass producing what it says is the industry’s first 10-nanometer class, 8-gigabit DDR4 DRAM chips, along with full-fledged modules that use the new chips. There are a few things to note here. The first is that these are not 10nm chips, but 10nm-class, which can mean...
