Nvidia’s AI-powered NPCs are getting better, but still sound uncanny

NVIDIA has been declared the "undisputed leader" of AI, as the company's global AI chip market share is estimated to have reached up to 90%, setting a new record.

I’ve played roughly 150 hours of Suika Game, and instead of getting better at the game, I think I’m getting worse. Like my colleague Julia Lee, Suika Game has had me in an absolute chokehold. From Japanese developer Aladdin X, Suika Game was originally available only on the Japanese eShop, but it came stateside in October. I started playing it in December, and since then, it’s basically the only game I’ve played on the Nintendo Switch.

Marvel fans are curious about whether Wilson Bethel, who played Bullseye in ‘s third season, is reprising his role as the highly skilled marksman villain for the Disney Plus series. Here is what we know.

The Palworld developers are reportedly receiving death threats, seemingly over the similarities between the game's creature designs and Pokemon. Palworld combines Minecraft-style survival mechanics with the thrill of monster catching to great effect. The game has been a massive success out of the gate, selling over 5 million copies despite being early access and readily available to play through Xbox Game Pass.

Almost anything can happen in the untamed open world of Red Dead Redemption 2, including Arthur flying through the air like the God of Thunder himself thanks to a strange glitch. Just like Rockstar’s various Grand Theft Auto titles, Red Dead Redemption 2 allows players to distract themselves from the story of outlaw Arthur Morgan to engage in all kinds of entertaining side activities like hunting animals for their pelts and tracking down dangerous criminals for a hefty bounty. This in turn can open the door to wild and unexpected moments, such as one unlucky player being chased off a cliff by an angry bear.

After a brief stint in cinemas, new Netflix movie The Kitchen is now available to stream. The film marks Daniel Kaluuya's directorial debut, with the actor co-directing with filmmaker and architect Kibwe Tavares. 

Dragon’s Dogma was always envisioned as a single player game that gave off the impression of a multiplayer one, or a “Single-Player Online Party Action Game” in Director Hideaki Itsuno’s own words. And one of the key elements of driving that feeling home are the AI-controlled Pawns that make up 3/4s of your party. Pawns were a fascinating inclusion in the original game – at times endearing with their amusing (and frequent) comments on whatever was happening, other times bewildering with some of their behaviors in battle, and very often a great source of humor and levity.

Time Powers are unique abilities in that help Sargon on his adventures. Each Time Power lets him manipulate time just the right way to unlock previously blocked paths or confront more significant threats. By the end of the game, you will have six exciting time powers you can wield to rescue Prince Ghassan.

Resident Evil 2 was a masterpiece when it was originally released more than 25 years ago on the original PlayStation, and it was a masterpiece when it was gorgeously remade in 2019. Capcom’s remake is now on Xbox Game Pass for the first time, and it’s one of the easiest recommendations I can make. It sets the standard for a modern-day remake of a groundbreaking video game, and helped inspire last year’s similarly great Dead Space remake.

Konami is partnering with Limited Run Games to re-release its classic platformer games from the Rocket Knight and Felix the Cat series.

Diablo 4's next season is now confirmed to go live later this month, despite Blizzard so far providing us all with very little detail on what it will actually contain.
