Epic presses the rewind button.

Ubisoft seems to be finally narrowing down on Skull and Bones’ release.

The performance director of Baldur's Gate 3 has revealed that she had a real-life enemies-to-lovers storyline with Shadowheart, and it's actually so sweet.

One programmer has given an AI model 50,000 hours worth of training in how to play Pokemon Red, leading to an algorithm that's capable of exploring the game and building a team to defeat the first gym leader - but not one that can find its way through Mt. Moon or know better than to keep buying Magikarp. Most of all, this exercise is a fascinating way to get an idea of how machine learning actually works.

Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection is out on Tuesday, finally bringing the best Metal Gear game—MGS3—to PC for the first time. As I wrote in my preview back in August, I'm still disappointed by how barebones the ports of these great games are. While Konami's going above and beyond with its included bonus materials and different regional versions of the games, their work on the underlying emulation—like running the games at higher resolutions and framerates—leaves a lot to be desired. Speaking to IGN, Konami has also now confirmed several issues that haven't been fixed in time for the launch.

Attributed as the best Alien property after Ridley Scott’s Alien (1979) and James Cameron’s Aliens (1986), it is one of the best first-person stealth games I’ve enjoyed playing.

Before we look forward, let’s look back at the original game.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder was once planned to feature live commentary, with one of the voices being a Tsundere character. Unfortunately, Nintendo cut this concept from the final version of the game, so you’ll never know whether the Talking Flowers like you or not.

The developers of Super Mario Bros. Wonder have revealed that the game once featured an inflation-themed power-up, but it was cut during development. This would have been tied to Super Mario Bros. Wonder’s new elephant transformation, which makes characters bigger and stronger and lets them fire water from their trunk.

The new voice actor behind Mario and Luigi in Super Mario Bros. Wonder has finally been revealed, and they are relatively unknown in the video game space. This marks the first new voice actor for Mario in the video game world since the mid-90s, as another performer had the role locked down for decades.

A new Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 character spotlight trailer for Lucy Loud has sadly revealed that her brother Lincoln Loud, the main character of his own dang show, has been downgraded to a stage cameo.
