Total War: Warhammer III Lords of the End Times Review - An Empire of Endless Content (opens the original)
Read excerpt
One of the things I love about Warhammer — whether it be Warhammer 40K or Warhammer Fantasy — is that a bit of narrative drama isn’t enough. Instead, Warhammer opts for over-the-top characters and operatic storytelling. While it most likely isn’t the final DLC for Total War: Warhammer III, Lords of the End Times is built around the ascendancy of Thanquol, the victorious forces of Chaos, and the eventual Age of Sigmar. Lords of the End Times is standalone DLC. It acts as a unique entry point for
The Blood of Dawnwalker Review - The Best Parts Come After Dark (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The number of great vampire-themed games is surprisingly small, and if you narrow the list down to memorable vampire-themed RPGs, you’re pretty much left with Vampire: The Masquerade — Bloodlines (but not the disappointing sequel). If nothing else, The Blood of Dawnwalker is an excellent vampire narrative. Beyond that, The Blood of Dawnwalker has aspirations to reconfigure the open world RPG template. It succeeds, if not entirely. Big picture, The Blood of Dawnwalker has all the makings and mech

Read excerpt

Forever Ago might be the start of a trend. In case the idea of a video game about your grandpa not being able to figure out a

Read excerpt
Whether you’re a concert violinist, expert woodworker or serious video gamer, having good equipment is essential. I’m not a pro gamer, but I spend a lot of time with a controller in my hands and sometimes the games I play demand precision and speed. No matter what kind of game I’m playing, my controller needs to be comfortable and mechanically reliable. The HyperX Clutch Talon Wireless Controller for Xbox checks a lot of those boxes. At around $160, the HyperX Clutch Talon Wireless Controller fo
Nioh 3: Hell Rising Review - Great Combat, More of the Same (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Nioh 3 was released in February 2026 and remains one of my favorite action games from a very good year for the genre. I think it’s the best Nioh game by far. The alternating samurai and ninja mechanics, along with the open field world design, all clicked for me. Nioh 3 had a great weapon system and lots of variety. It was a very long game, too, but mostly that was a positive. Nioh 3’s first major expansion is Hell Rising, and it adds a significant amount of what fans enjoyed about Nioh 3. Largel
