Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is ditching the dark streets of Gotham for the city of Metropolis, an open-world playground that switches up more than just the colour palate.

Steam has rolled out a new Client Beta for users who have opted in to take part in it, which boasts a new version of the shopping cart when checking out. As specified in a blog post within the Steam News Events page, the shopping cart has received a handful of updates as part of this Client Beta.
Inline Gifting has been introduced, making it easier for players to purchase a game for a friend (or multiple friends) and yourself without having to make multiple purchases, and items in your shopping cart will now carry across every device you're signed into Steam on. However, it's important to note that this shopping cart feature will only be available within the beta client at this time, so you'll need to have access to that across your devices.
In addition to this, the ability to make your games private has been added at long last. This feature isn't limited just to when they are in your library either — there are three places you can make your gaming private to just yourself. If you want to make your game private from the point of purchase, you can now select the «For my Account: Private» option from the drop-down menu beneath the game's title on the purchase screen.
But that's not all, you can now also private specific games within your library, and whenever you are playing them. If you do choose to keep a game private, it won't appear when you are actively playing, nor will your playtime show on your Steam page, so you can rest assured that your gaming experience will be completely private if you want it to be.

To the surprise of absolutely no one, Baldur's Gate 3 has claimed the Game of the Year award in the 2023 Steam Awards, along with the crown for Outstanding Story-Rich Game. It probably would have won even more, but the Steam Awards rules limit games to nominations in a maximum of two categories, presumably to avoid any across-the-board ass-kickings.
Earlier this year, my left ear, previously every bit as capable as my right, started letting me down. I at first had many explanations for this — a buildup of ear wax, some side effect of a sinus infection or a prolonged reaction to a lot of flying recently. It took a specialist to break it to me that I had joined the ranks of 1.25 billion people in the world who suffer from mild to moderate hearing loss.
The upcoming won’t take place in the mainline DC Universe. However, it also won’t use the DC Elseworlds intro, according to DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn.
Amid rising concerns and multiple legal battles of authors, publishers, and media houses over large language models (LLMs) using their copyrighted work to train AI systems, the New York Times has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft. The publisher has alleged that the two AI firms have been using the former's copyrighted published work unauthorized to train their respective AI models. This lawsuit has now heightened the conflict between publishers and AI companies, as regulatory institutions still try to figure out the right way to control and monitor the data AI models are trained on.
We've seen a lot of Ghibli-like indie games this year, but this might be the most faithful one yet.
The 2023 Steam Winter Sale is live. You've got until 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm BT on January 4, 2024 to add yet more games to your backlog – or, if you're actually a healthy PC gamer, grab something to play immediately – on the cheap.
Bloober Team, developers of Layers of Fear, The Medium and the upcoming Silent Hill 2 remake, have added another notable name to their plans for the next few years. The horror-focused studio is working with the creators of zombie comic book-turned-TV show The Walking Dead on a new video game adaptation.
I love how Microsoft Flight Simulator exists in the background now, like the distant roar of an overhead flight path. Not only is it just nice to have a shiny, new version of one of the gaming OGs there to pick up and play at any time, every now and then it drops an absolutely gorgeous new trailer showing off some wild technical wizardry or hyper-detailed new cityscape. That's exactly what's happened now, with Flight Sim's latest update inviting you to pay a flying visit to an eclectic collection of European cities.
Wordle was a lockdown phenomenon: one of those games that, merits aside, simply landed at the right time. I've kicked the habit now but like pretty much everyone else I had a Wordle phase with the family WhatsApp group and, yes, when I'm nearly out of chances I have gone running to my six-letter friend Google. Wordle's enormous popularity was such that, in January 2022, the New York Times purchased the game from creator Josh Wardle for a sum «in the low seven figures.»
