Logitech has unveiled two new mechanical keyboards, the Orion 610 Brown and Red, using the same sleek chassis as the recently released G810. Rather than using Logitech’s own proprietary switches, these new keyboards are using Cherry MX switches, with MX Brown and MX Red for each respective product. These new keyboards feature white backlighting instead of RGB, with brightness...
Coder and certified wizard Carlos Liam has got the menus and minigames of Superhot running in Windows Command Prompt through the magic of Python. He doesn’t discuss his motivations, but I suspect the reasoning is along the lines of “to see if I could”. He achieved this considerable, if inexplicable, feat by sifting the memory for Superhot’s textual information. As Superhot’s...

As the Steam store has it, “Besiege is a physics based building game in which you construct medieval siege engines and lay waste to immense fortresses and peaceful hamlets.” As modder Drako sees it, Besiege is a proving ground for futuristic death machines straight out of Pacific Rim. Somehow Drako has created a walking, bipedal, rocket-firing Gipsy...
Fashion is among the most important aspects of XCOM 2. There are definitely other major points of interest – the fight to save humankind, the fight to keep your marksman (who is your mum) alive – but making sure everyone looks good is arguably more important. The new DLC pack, Anarchy’s Children, is all about making...
For those still playing Star Wars Battlefront, a new DLC pack drops this month in the form of ‘Outer Rim’, which introduces four new maps, two heroes and an Extraction game mode. The video above features plenty of carefully choreographed footage of Star Wars villains getting murdered, but it fails to explain what the Extraction mode is all about. After...
A new Gosu Gamers report paints a rather bleak picture of the pro Hearthstone scene in China, which it says is wracked by cheating, primarily in the form of win-trading and pay-to-legend. The problem isn’t unique to China—the report makes note of a couple of high-profile incidents involving Western players—but it’s particularly endemic in China because...

The Conglomerate is made up of 13 corporations who collectively call the shots in the...
Blizzard is adding a new map to Heroes of the Storm called Lost Cavern, and it’s a little bit different than what we’ve seen before. It’s a single-lane map with no Map Objectives, Hearthstones, or Starting Area heals, designed to keep players “laser-focused on one constant, single-lane teamfight.” “We’ve seen that players have been creating...
