Baldur's Gate 3 lets you do an awful lot. But you can't play basketball or go bowling. So, players are finding their own unique workarounds, like picking up Gale and throwing him into a bunch of barrels or... dribbling with him. Bouncing him up and down off hard, rocky dirt paths. Sorry, Gale.

Chandryaan-3 mission took its first flight on July 14, 2023, and its Vikram lander touched down on the lunar surface on August 23, marking one of the biggest achievements in history for the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO). India became the fourth country to successfully land on the Moon while also becoming the first nation to do so on the lunar South Pole. The Vikram lander stayed and conducted studies on the Moon's south pole for 14 lunar days, before being put to sleep. Now, the lander is in sleep mode as the lunar night commences. Know when the lander will be activated by ISRO.

VR studio MyDearest is best known for branching narrative games like Tokyo Chronos and Altdeus. Its next game is a bit of a departure then, being a three-on-three multiplayer punchyshoot where you can use super-gauntlets to send people into orbit.

's long-awaited DLC, is finally nearing its release. The expansion will launch exclusively on current-gen devices such as Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5, as well as PC, unlike the original which attempted to launch on last-gen consoles with disastrous results. It will also be coupled with a massive 2.0 update, making CD Projekt Red's first and last DLC for its 2020 ARPG a huge overhaul for the title, bringing it more in line with the experience many expected from at launch.

There are a lot of easter eggs and oddities in Baldur's Gate 3 and it seems like there's plenty left to uncover yet. For instance, one dataminer has just managed to trigger a dialogue scene in which bestest barbarian Karlach becomes aware she's a character in a game and looks right through the screen into your soul.

Investors fretting that Nvidia Corp.'s massive stock buyback allocation would leave it short of funds for vital research and development should take heart from the chipmaker's swelling free cash flow.

Baldur’s Gate 3 continues to surprise us with all manner of unique, clever, and terrifying ways to play, and this particular trick combines all three to create one of the most devastating Baldur’s Gate 3 weapons we’ve seen in the RPG game to date. It’s as darkly sinister as it is deadly in its effectiveness, so this might not be for everyone, but if you’re eying up the most evil things to do in Baldur’s Gate 3 then you’re in for a treat.

This adorable ocean clean-up game, which I've been watching for a while, has finally got a release date, and I can't wait to care for all the critters.

Nintendo seems to be all in on the nostalgia at the moment, as it recently announced a remake of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door during the latest Nintendo Direct, a game that some consider to be the pinnacle of Mario's RPG outings. The announcement came with a chunky gameplay trailer, in which we see multiple location from across the game gussied up for Nintendo Switch.

Surprise! Like a dual-wielding rogue pouncing from the shadows, Digital Eclipse has simultaneously revealed and launched a remake of the original Wizardry.

One of the things I like best about Die Gute Fabrik's forthcoming Saltsea Chronicles is an optional feature. It's a card game, Spoils, which you can play while sojourning upon the game's islands and searching for clues about your ship's missing captain, Maja. Here's how it works: two teams of two characters take turns to play cards, moving in clockwise around a table. Player must follow the lead player's suit, and the highest-scoring card wins the trick, with four tricks comprising a round. It might sound like a straightforward competition, but different islands offer different house rules, and there are twists that reflect the game's ethic of community, mutual respect and diversity, and help animate the detail of its gently post-apocalyptic oceanic world.

On Tuesday, September 12, the Earth was hit by an unexpected coronal mass ejection (CME) cloud, which triggered a powerful G2-class solar storm on Earth. The storm was moderate in intensity but it was still enough to interrupt wireless communication and trigger bright aurora lights in the higher latitudes. But the solar storm onslaught is not likely to stop anytime soon. Another CME has been unleashed from the Sun and it is again headed for our planet. As per prediction models, it is likely to reach the Earth on September 17 and deliver a glancing blow to the planet. Check the dangers that you should expect.

In a time where hard copy games are starting to thin out, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's Collector's Edition promises two honest-to-god discs, a steelbook case, and hold-in-your-hand goodies like an art book and a hefty Sephiroth figure. 

It's because it doesn't like you.

The new Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty trailer features a CGI Idris Elba, and honestly, I'm convinced it was a live-action trailer because the actor looked so real.

The charming single-player story adventure from Tequila Works, Song of Nunu: A League of Legends story, has been scheduled to launch on Nintendo Switch, and PC on November 1, 2023. In this enchanting adventure, you will go on a journey of a lifetime with Nunu and Willump, a duo that makes up one of the League of Legends champions, across the frozen landscapes of Frelijord, which is the perfect setting for its winter release. 

We've been giving Final Fantasy 14's cosmetic store bigger and bigger passes as time's gone on. Like most FF14 players, I'm grateful we don't have to deal with loot boxes or battle passes or any of that nonsense—so what's the harm in a $29.99 motorbike to grease the wheels now and then? We're paying for our hubris now, because this is not great.

Apple transitioning from Lightning to USB-C on all iPhone 15 models does not only mean that consumers have to carry around one less cable to top up their next iPhone’s battery, but one benefit is that these ports support the DisplayPort standard. In other words, all handsets that were recently announced can be hooked up to a TV or external display that supports HDR and up to a 4K resolution.

There are a ton of things for you to do in Starfield, most of which don’t have much to do with the story. In the spirit of creating your adventure, Bethesda Softworks has made the game as immersive as possible, and this by letting you do most things you can think of…well most things. Much like Skyrim or even the older Morrowind, you can do some whacky and downright funny things such as putting a bucket on an NPC. However, the following is a little more intense and more brutal. The best part is that you might not get in trouble for it. The following PSA is that there is a way to knock out and kill NPCs in Starfield with a box — legally speaking. If you want to know how to do such a thing, follow along.

Yesterday Unity announced big changes to its pricing system that, among other things, will see developers charged on a per-install basis once certain thresholds are met. Developers are up in arms about this and not shy about cutting the crap: Tom Francis, the developer of Heat Signature and a PC Gamer alumnus, described the change as "an astonishing scumbag move."

Sony has debuted a new set of features for the PS5, including Dolby Atmos, the ability to turn off that dreaded “beep” console power sound, support for up to 8 TB of SSD storage, and more. It’s everything that Sony delivered to beta testers a couple of months ago, but Sony snuck in a surprise for the update’s broader release: PS Remote Play support for the latest Chromecast.

Starfield has plenty of ways to make money. You can complete quests and be rewarded for your efforts. You can trade valuable items you find, or rare minerals that you mine. You can even sneak into places and, when nobody is looking, steal an expensive ornament.

The iPhone 15 is finally here, and it brings the biggest change in the form of USB Type-C, you know, the connectivity standard we have been using for a long, long time. This shift to USB Type-C was inevitable, considering how Apple was facing a lot of pressure from regulation authorities, and it is safe to say that this move will definitely help the company standardize its products across the board. Now, all you need is a single USB Type-C cable, and you will be able to charge all your Apple devices, just like it should.

Now that the iPhone 15 series is out, the obvious thought in many people's minds is whether it is a better proposition than the Samsung Galaxy S23 lineup that was released earlier this year. And considering the next Samsung event is likely to be in January or February 2024, many also wonder what will the S24 lineup bring to compete with the iPhones. The Apple vs. Samsung rivalry goes way back and the fans on the respective sides never hesitate to hail their side as the one with the best smartphone in the world. But that often does not tell us the truth from a neutral and objective perspective. While the iPhone 15 lineup has not even opened for pre-orders, it will be a while before people can test it out against the Samsung counterpart to really know the truth, but that does not mean that experts have not built up an opinion. Let us take a look.

Apple’s latest mobile operating systems will be available to download on Sept. 18, Apple announced today at its iPhone 15 event, as will the next version of watchOS.

I'm 40 hours into my Starfield playthrough and only now realizing there's an easy way to mine ore faster. No, I'm not talking about letting Outposts do the mining for you, I'm talking about good ol' fashioned laser cutting. Did you know the laser cutter has a secondary fire? I didn't know that, but I sure wish I did a week ago!

Techland says it's aware of the negative feedback and is plotting some changes.

Forza Motorsport seems to meet the greatest expectations fans have when it comes to Xbox Series consoles’ performance.

Overwatch 2 has not been having a good time of it in 2023. May brought the unwelcome news that Blizzard's original plans for the game's post-launch support were being changed, mainly the promised «original vision» of PvE story content. Players in the main hated this, with many pointing out this was why Overwatch 2 was considered a necessary sequel in the first place. Shortly afterwards the game was released on Steam, and this discontent found its expression in Steam review bombing.

Harry Potter is truly the fandom that lived. Hogwarts Legacy, the latest big-budget entry in the 26-year-old franchise, grossed over $1 billion as of May, selling 15 million copies — despite a number of outlets declining to cover it, citing Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling’s history of making transphobic statements. It’s highly rated by players and supports a thriving ecosystem of streamers and fans. Likewise, the award-winning Harry Potter and the Cursed Child stage play has broken records for weekly grosses around the world. The franchise is even getting a TV reboot.

Being a dedicated spacer I've never had much interest in the base construction aspect of Starfield, but that was before I learned that you can spacewalk by means of console commands, aka cheats. Reddit user WeirdConcern4666 made history on this front yesterday. Here's how you do it: 1) get up from the cockpit controls, 2) hit the tilde key to open the command console at the bottom of the screen, 3) type "player.setpos x 10" to teleport your character outside the ship, then hit return and 4) type "setgravityscale 0" to engage zero gravity and stop your character plummeting endlessly. Then hit the tilde key again to close the command console, and well, there you go.

It's no secret that Bethesda games have some wobbles here and there, and Starfield is no exception.

Starfield players are encountering yet another bug, but this time, it could be the death of you. 

According to CD Projekt Red's lead scene programmer, Filip Pierściński, the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 update can cause heating issues.

Starfield is arguably this year's most hyped game. At this point in time, the game runs well on AMD hardware thanks to its partnership with Bethesda, but Nvidia owners haven't gotten as much love. Though the game runs well enough, Nvidia GPUs are uncharacteristically underperforming in Starfield, and official support for Nvidia's bedrock technologies such as DLSS are missing.

It's every astronaut's nightmare: you're in deep space facing down a pack of serpent-worshipping fanatics, but when you pull out your favorite gun and squeeze the trigger, nothing happens. You've got plenty of ammo, the gun is loaded, and you're not in scanning mode. But for some reason, you just can't shoot.

It’s been a good few years for gonzo high fantasy, hasn’t it? The rise of Critical Role and actual-play fantasy TTRPGS generally, a Dungeons & Dragons movie that was actually good, and now the explosive success of Baldur’s Gate 3.

Tech Briefing today: Just a day before the ‘Wonderlust' Apple event 2023, the tech world was filled with leaks, rumors, and wishlists from experts and enthusiasts alike about the fate of the upcoming Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max. In a new report, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said that the iPhone 15 Pro Max can attract buyers in large numbers despite its expected price hike; WhatsApp is rolling out a new update through the Google Play Beta Program which will bring the version up to 2.23.19.8.

ID-Cooling has unveiled its brand new FROZN A620 Black Dual-Tower CPU heatsink cooler that it claims can cool up to 260W. But while that may sound impressive, it's actually the pricing of this cooling solution that's going to attract audiences.

Auckland, Sep 10 (The Conversation) On the eve of the Rugby World Cup kicking off, there have already been whispers of teams spying on each other. Inevitable gamesmanship, perhaps, but there's no doubt cheating in sport is a problem authorities struggle to combat.

Thinking about jumping into Starfield but worried about the levelling up grind? This player has a top tip for you.

Spacefarers have been pushing Starfield’s physics engine to its absolute limits since launch. No complaints here, since the results are both oddly satisfying and plainly marvellous. Come see.

FromSoftware is still struggling to lock its games to 60 frames-per-second, it seems. The Japanese developer has a history of not quite reaching its technical targets, with beloved games like Bloodborne and even the much more recent Elden Ring exhibiting performance flaws — particularly on consoles. And it's the same old story with Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon, according to the new analysis from Digital Foundry.

Baldur's Gate 3 is now on PS5, and while the processing power of Sony's console is able to handily present most of the game in line with the heartiest PCs out there, it's still no match for the game's notorious Act 3.

Ubisoft has quietly pulled Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag from Steam, reigniting remake rumors from earlier this year.

Starfield players have already built ships based on famous craft from across science fiction, but this player did something else entirely — and may have created the most overpowered ship possible.

Some very wealthy people have mega yachts. Some have personal blood boys. Some have entire islands. Google co-founder Sergey Brin, however, appears to be the only billionaire building a fleet of airships, and the latest episode of Hello World brings you inside one.

I have been playing Starfield for a few weeks now, and there is plenty of opportunity for customization, from the character creator tool to changing your clothing appearance and even customizing the outside of your ship. But today I learned that you can also design the interior of your ship's console by adding items on there as decor.

Samsung's new extra-big, extra-high-resolution TV is its largest 8K TV and one of its biggest consumer-available screens in general, only available in a massive 98 inches.

Apple September event 2023 is slated for the 12th of the month and there are barely a few days left now. For all those fans waiting for the big day, it is likely clear that this year's iPhone lineup is expected to get a substantial upgrade over its predecessor. Last year, many were disappointed that the non-Pro models did not get enough new features to warrant an upgrade over the iPhone 13, however, this year, the fans of the standard model of iPhone 15 are in for a treat if rumors are to be believed. It can get a 48MP primary rear camera, Dynamic Island, USB-C charging port, and the A16 Bionic chipset. However, whether the smartphone becomes a hit among consumers or not is largely dependent on one key factor — its price.

Following on from Barbie bringing the Dream House into the real world earlier this year, John Wick is now inviting fans to stay at The Continental. To coincide with the launch of the spin-off series all about the hotel, Prime Video has launched its own version of the safe haven for assassins for free.

Pikmin 4 is far from a difficult game. There's no time limit you need to worry about, most resources can be perpetually collected, and the game is extremely forgiving about your ever-growing Pikmin death toll.

Starfield and Baldur's Gate 3 are all the rage right now, but I'm here to tell you about something different. It's a lush indie puzzle-adventure game «inspired by the myth of Babel» called Chants of Sennaar, and it's out now on Steam.

Riding a second wave of sterling reviews that are somehow even better on PS5 than on PC, Baldur's Gate 3 is now getting the cartoon treatment, and the game's best companions already look and sound great. 

Matt Mercer, Critical Role’s many-talented Dungeon Master, has a starring role in Starfield, the latest role-playing game from Bethesda Softworks. The announcement was made Wednesday on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.

Starfield wouldn't be a Bethesda game without goofy, systems-based nonsense. I say this with complete affection in my heart for this sort of thing—I genuinely think stuff like this adds a lot of nonsensical charm, like how you can stuff a thousands of potatoes into a cargo hold, or build the galaxy's most cursed L-shaped spaceship.

It turns out Starfield's spaceship can get unreasonably big, and one player wounded themselves showing off just how irresponsibly huge their ship was.

The Starfield Mantis puzzle might be the most important early game side-quest, but it's astonishingly easy to miss.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Baldur's Gate 3, but I did have several instances where I thought: «man, it'd be good to have Dispel Magic here.» Clouds of darkness, enemy buffs like Haste—they'd all make for prime tactical dispel targets. In an interview with D&D, founder and CEO of Larian Studios Swen Vincke revealed that they'd tried to make it work, but couldn't for one tragic reason—it'd break the game in half.

Having sex in Starfield will give you an XP boost.

The shift to a hybrid work environment following the COVID-19 pandemic has led to a surge in the emergence of online communications platforms. Microsoft Teams, Zoom and Google Meet are just some of the companies battling it out to provide workspace to organizations. This healthy competition has led to innovation with these platforms becoming one place for meetings, document storage, chats, and more. To keep up, and possibly gain an upper hand over its competitors, Zoom has announced a rebranded AI companion that will assist users in day-to-day activities.

In less than a week's time, the iPhone 15 series will likely be unveiled at the September 12 Apple event named ‘Wonderlust'. Based on the leaks so far, all the models are getting significant improvements over their predecessors, however, the iPhone 15 Pro Max stands out from the rest. It is likely to get a new titanium body, an Action button, a periscope zoom lens, and more. Still, there is one reason why Apple fans may still feel disappointed by the iPhone 15 Pro Max at the Apple event. And no, we are not talking about the rumored price hike. The reason? There could be as much as a 4-week delay before the smartphone reaches the market!

Starfield, like most of Bethesda's RPG offerings, has a fairly deep romance romance system that lets you bed and ride off into the sunset with one of four different companions you can meet along your journey. There are a wide variety of benefits that having a loving partner accompany you across the Settled Systems brings, but one of the best is a pretty big XP buff that you can only get by bumping uglies with your significant other.

China appears to have built a chip that matches some of the West's most advanced semiconductors. While it may alarm US defense experts and sanctions proponents, the development shouldn't have been too surprising. Industrial secrets are impossible to keep for long, as the Chinese themselves know from millennia of what we'd now call intellectual property lost by way of trade, theft and war.

Experience points can make all the difference in an RPG like Starfield. But what's the best way to level up quickly? We have a few suggestions as fans gear up for Starfield's big release on Game Pass later this week.

Your friendly companion Vasco isn’t just a gun-toting helper in Starfield, he can also speak your in-game name. Vasco is programmed to speak hundreds of names — with a special focus on famous explorers and astronauts. You’ll even find some extremely NSFW options that feel more at home in the Fallout series. Not that surprising, seeing as this fun feature comes straight from the robot butler in Fallout 4. Pick one of these names — which you can even change when customizing your character again — and Vasco can actually speak it. Everyone’s favorite robot buddy has some pretty rude and surprising options, so check them all out below.

Have you ever wondered why, when you're having a lovely stroll around the world of Baldur's Gate 3, there are so many bodies without heads lying around? No it's not because the inhabitants of the world have faulty necks — it's because developer Larian is doing something sneaky.

It turns out you can pinch one of Starfield's better suits without picking locks. Not only that, you can actually get it quite near the start of the game.

Zoom will offer users an AI assistant that can tap large language models from companies including OpenAI to summarize your video meetings and compose chat messages for you. 

Starfield poses many threats to the willing space adventurer, from hostile Spacer pirates to alien beasts to extreme planetary environments, so the importance of a good spacesuit cannot be overstated.

Over the years, Samsung has held its place as the market leader for smartphone units produced and shipped, but its position might be under threat. Samsung leads the line for the highest number of units produced owing to its large range of smartphones and its capabilities. But now, tides are about to be turned. A new report by TrendForce has mentioned that Apple might surpass Samsung in terms of smartphone units produced in a quarter, with the launch of the iPhone 15 series. Know what the data says.
