Congratulations, Monster Hunter Wilds players. Your game’s the talk of the town right now, mainly because half the population of the world is playing it. There’s one thing you can’t have, though, no matter how hard you try. No, it’s not issue-free PC performance. It’s a day-one naked man mod for Wilds, that doesn’t work … Read more
Lazarus, the latest anime from the creator of Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo, has a release date, and it’s pretty soon. Are you in the mood for an anime with a great concept helmed by an absolute all-star crew? That’s exactly what you’re going to get in Lazarus, the upcoming anime that comes from … Read more
There are lots of tycoon games out there, but very few let players run a movie studio. I instantly think about Lionhead Studios’ The Movies whenever someone brings up that concept, but we haven’t really gotten anything on that scale ever since, which is why indie studios like Aniki Games are trying to fill that … Read more

Odds are you’ve spent a fair amount of time chilling in The Afterlife if you’ve sunk plenty of hours into Cyberpunk 2077, but if you’ve not played through the main story in a while, you might not remember briefly visiting the club that was Night City’s top hangout back when Johnny Silverhand was a real … Read more
