Marvel Rivals’ hero gallery UI used to look a lot cooler—but also a lot harder to use

(Image credit: NetEase Games) I’m a comic book nut, but I stay away from Marvel Rivals to keep my blood pressure in check. I do love the radical, supremely over-the-top character designs that NetEase landed on for Marvel’s coterie of costumed heroes, though. You might be surprised to learn that the game used to be

Atomfall hits 2 million players and 500K cups of tea drunk

Survival-action shooter Atomfall has lured more than two million players into its post-nuclear-disaster Britain, and they’ve apparently drunk 500,000 cups of tea while there. Which is not enough. Those are rookie numbers in the British tea drinking game. We need those numbers up to like three per person just to make average. That’s 6,000,000 cups

‘Every single gamemode is completely broken’: Star Wars Battlefront 2 has been unplayable for days on PC as hackers prevent players from spawning on any server

(Image credit: Electronic Arts) Star Wars Battlefront 2 is currently undergoing its own Jedi purge—and Sith purge, and wookiee purge. Really, it’s a purge of any animate being in the galaxy, droid or otherwise. For the last few days, players have been reporting that Battlefront 2 has been left almost completely unplayable as hackers have

The rights to one of the greatest PC games of all time languished in the vault of a Midwestern insurance firm until a frustrated player bugged them about a re-release, ‘But they asked me if I wanted to do System Shock 3’

Speaking to Nightdive founder Stephen Kick and VP of business development Larry Kuperman at this year’s Game Developers Conference, I was curious about how it felt to be returning to System Shock 2 for the studio’s upcoming remaster. After all, I had a loose understanding that Shock 2 is the game that kicked off Nightdive

After months of silence, Bungie fires up the Marathon social media machine to tease… well, something

Marathon | Official Announce Trailer – YouTube Watch On Remember Marathon? No, not that Marathon, although props for making the throwback connection. I mean the extraction shooter reboot announced in 2023, that we’ve heard practically nothing about since. Well, we may be about to hear more, and possibly quite soon.

Gordon Freeman joins a retro pandimensional deathmatch in crossover mod Quake Champions Classic

Quake Champions was meant to be the game to revive the classic arena shooter. The pitch was old-school bunny-hopping and rocket-jumping arena deathmatching with just a little bit of Hero Shooter spice. Unfortunately, while it has a small but dedicated following, it never quite caught on as much as it could have. Despite this, it
