So, Grand Theft Auto 6’s trailer came a little early—thanks to some unfortunate leaks that bungled its initial announcement timing. It pretty much set the internet on fire, crushing 60 million views in 12 hours. At the time of writing, that’s up to 70 million. GTA’s back, baby. Well, sort of. We’re gonna be waiting…

Baldur’s Gate 3 has a lot of words—and even ‘a lot of words’ is a major understatement. In a Steam post before the game’s release, it was revealed the game’s total script is about 2 million words long. For context, all five books in the current Game of Thrones series add up to about 1.7…

A little while before the fifth Patch of Baldur’s Gate 3 came along, I wrote up this news post about a teaser image Larian Studios had shared on Twitter, featuring Withers in a silly little hat warning “fun is mandatory”. I joked about being scared at the time. Little did I know, I was very…

The latest patch for Baldur’s Gate 3 launched last week—bringing a whole new way to punish yourself along with it: Honour Mode. This permadeath-style challenge tasks you with completing the game before suffering a single party wipe (though you can convert it to a custom game and finish the story if you beef it). As…

Patch 5 for Baldur’s Gate 3 is out and, as I mentioned in a feverish swarm of typing yesterday, it’s massive. Among a laundry list of other changes, there’s a big sparkly new epilogue which wraps the game’s story up in a nice bow. Some light spoilers ahead, though I’ve kept the details light. You…

Come, ye weary faithfuls who have held fast to the dying flame—Grand Theft Auto 6 is upon us after ten long years. First, a rumour, then an official confirmation, and now, an official confirmation with a number attached. The sky may fall next. As posted to Rockstar Games’ official twitter account, the GTA 6 trailer…

The latest patch of Baldur’s Gate 3 has a lot of quality-of-life updates. It has a lovely little epilogue, a gnarly new honour mode that’s been giving Ted Litchfield spikes in his blood pressure, among many other tune-ups and fixes. And uh, schlong physics. Did we mention the schlong physics? Because Larian sure didn’t. I’d…

Baldur’s Gate 3’s latest patch added two whole new difficulty modes. Honour, a sort of pseudo-permadeath run, and Custom, which lets you fiddle around with rulesets to your heart’s content. One thing that had alarm bells ringing in my head, however, was this line from the patch notes:  “[Honour mode] introduces over 30 new tweaks…
