It looks like golf, a sport predominantly played by rich white men in real life and Mario characters in videogames. There are definitely no Aztecs in this game, called PangYa, about magical anime girls playing golf. It’s the same age as World of Warcraft, and described as “an online multiplayer casual golf simulation” on Wikipedia . I love that unexpected, borderline contradictory combination of words: “online multiplayer casual golf simulation.” Hell yeah, sign me up” and people who said “Anime

Fortnite pros thought airplanes were the worst of it, but after the sudden removal of a beloved health bonus per kill and the addition of an even more broken vehicle, Fortnite pros are about as sad-mad as I’ve seen them. Sure, Fortnite pros have been complaining about the state of Fortnite since the dawn of Fortnite. They’re pros. Fortnite pros do tend to know when an update or addition is refreshing for the competitive meta or totally broken. At least the Fortnite World Cup qualifiers are going

The First World War shooter Verdun celebrates the famed Christmas Truce of 1914 with a special in-game event in which players from opposing sides can get together for snowball fights, soccer games, and card exchanges. Starting today and running until April 22, something similar, yet very different is happening in the trenches of its standalone expansion Tannenberg: The Wolf Truce. The Wolf Truce event in Tannenberg recreates that lupine invasion by injecting aggressive wolves into the game, but

Entitled Cayde’s Six, the digital comic begins with our titular hero explaining why an ostensibly simple bounty-hunting job went very wrong. The comic features appearances by Destiny supporting characters Hawthorne, Banshee-44, Nadiya, and Petra Venj, and a guy named Jin, who I’m sorry to say I don’t recognize—but he looks a bit like the Drifter, doesn’t he? Also interesting is that their quarry is Araskes, The Trickster, a Baron of the Scorn who helped kill Cayde-6 in Forsaken. Call me a hopele

Having trouble deciding on the best gaming PC for your budget? If you’re looking to stretch your dollar, Walmart has a tantalizing deal or a second-generation Ryzen system with a GeForce RTX 2060 graphics card tucked inside. It’s the Skytech Archangel Elite, which we had previously highlighted as one of the noteworthy cheap gaming PC deals in recent weeks. Regardless of the brand, though, it’s a fast card and a good deal in a system at this price. We also like that Skytech opted for a 500GB soli

(Image: © Pixabay via geralt (no attribution needed))Security researchers say they have discovered several flaws in the Wi-Fi Protected Access 3 (WPA3) protocol that could allow an attacker to crack a user’s password and ultimately access encrypted traffic. The newer security protocol addressed that vulnerability and added a bunch of other protections, but it may not be as secure as we thought. In this case, one of the flaws could allow an attacker to brute-force an eight-character, lowercase pa

The Sinking City is the latest, an open-world, action detective game where PI Charles W. Reed tries to discover the origins of flooded city Oakmont’s ruin, and perhaps his own encroaching madness. Elementary my dear whitebaitAnd so we’re off, conducting an investigation that will feel incredibly familiar to anyone who played Sherlock Holmes: The Devil’s Daughter or Crimes and Punishments. What did take me by surprise—dock three points from my Lovecrafty fan account—was that Sinking City actually

Microsoft has confirmed that a recent update for Windows is causing some PCs to freeze or hang after applying the patch. The security update in question includes improvements and fixes that were part of update KB4489892 released last month, Microsoft says. Avira said it has been able to reproduce the error, and that it “is occurring because of a current Windows update.” Likewise, Avira recommends rolling back the recent updates, and specifically KB4493509 on Windows 10 PCs, and KB4493472 and KB4

Epic Games has signed another big name, but this time it’s not a game but a person: Jason West, who co-founded Call of Duty studio Infinity Ward with Vince Zampella and Grant Collier in 2002, and then split with parent company Activision (under less-than-pleasant circumstances) to launch Titanfall and Apex Legends developer Respawn Entertainment with Zampella in 2010. Word of the surprise hiring came from Game Awards creator and ever-present man on the inside Geoff Keighley, who just tweeted it

EVE Online developers CCP have tried to establish several spin-off projects over the years—Project Nova is the most recent—and it seems that the studio is not ready to give up quite yet. EVE Online has been going now for 16 years and with a firm playerbase, there are only a handful of games that can rival its longevity. So it’s really no surprise that creators, CCP have attempted various spin-offs in that time. What is surprising is that they’re not at all ready to stop trying and will keep goin

Saber Interactive’s co-op survival game, World War Z, is set for release next week and we’ve been treated to an early launch trailer to get another look at the action. The trailer, which you can watch above, shows off the Left 4 Dead-esque hordes of zombies that you’re up against, whether that’s in New York, Moscow, Jerusalem, or Tokyo. Regardless of whether you play co-op with friends, or against others in the game’s PvPvZ multiplayer mode, you have six different classes to choose from. The sys

Elite Dangerous’ next update, due to land on April 23, will add a whole host of improvements as well as making the space sim more welcoming for new and returning players alike. A new Beginner’s Zone is being added, which will give newcomers a number of systems to explore while they get to grips with the game. The Pilot’s Handbook is another addition aimed at making Elite Dangerous much more player-friendly. New modules are also being added; an Advanced Docking Computer will let you automatically

Borderlands 2 has seen a huge increase in concurrent players on Steam in the last week, no doubt a result of escalating interest in the series following the reveal of Borderlands 3. The game peaked just shy of 60K players last weekend—59,033 according to Steam Charts (highlighted here on GitHype). Borderlands 2 has remained a firm favourite with PC players since its release back in 2012. If you’re wondering what all the fuss is about, you can check out why Jody thought Borderlands 2 was ahead of

Bethesda has released yet another trailer for Rage 2, due out next month. The latest video details the many enemies you face, as well as the harsh landscape you’re forced to survive in. The trailer, aptly titled ‘Everything vs. Me,’ is an action-packed glimpse at menacing cyborgs, stealthy samurai, redneck mechs, and familiar goons. As the release date of May 14 gets ever closer, Rage 2 isn’t pulling any punches with its onslaught of trailers. If you’re looking for more trailers, we’ve gathered

I’m no good at Ikaruga, but I’m surprisingly slightly competent at Daniel Linssen’s brilliant, and Ikaruga-inspired arcade game Breaker. Created for the 2018 Fantastic Arcade Bundle, but now available to download separately for free, Breaker is a “blend of Breakout, Space Invaders and Ikaruga”, that feels thrillingly original with it. You play as a sort of rectangle thing, using the left and right arrow keys to rotate yourself around a playing field. As you might imagine, the screen quickly beco

Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds is banned in Nepal effective today, according to a report in the Kathmandu Post. The move comes after the Nepal Metropolitan Crime Division filed a Public Interest Litigation with the Kathmandu District Court on Wednesday. A day later, the Nepal Telecommunication Authority has called for all ISPs and mobile service providers to block the game. “Parents and schools had complained that the game was affecting their children’s studies and making them more aggressive,” h

Razer makes a variety of keyboards with its own mechanical switches, including the BlackWidow Tournament Edition Chroma V2 (long name, I know). Now you can get that model for just $105.99 on Amazon, a $34 reduction from the original MSRP, and the lowest price since Black Friday last year (when it dropped to $100). The BlackWidow Tournament Edition V2 uses Razer Green or Orange switches, with “optimized actuation” and 1000 Hz Ultrapolling. Finally, the lower wrist wrest is detachable. Some online

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice may be tough, but that hasn’t kept players away. From Software’s shinobi slice ‘em up sold more than two million copies across all platforms in its first 10 days on sale. “The fans have made Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice one of the most incredible game launches of 2019 thus far,” said Michelle Fonseca, vice president of product management and marketing at Activision, in a press release posted today. Its peak player count, according to Steam Charts, is around 124,000 on PC,

Focus Home Interactive has announced partnerships with 12 game studios at the company’s annual press event, What’s Next. Three of the games also involve partnerships with Games Workshop and are set in the Warhammer universes. Focus did not reveal the titles for the Warhammer games it has in development, but there are a few hints to go on. Streum On Studio is working on a shooter, set “in one of the most popular Games Workshop IPs,” Focus said in its announcement. Focus Home Interactive will also

We noticed Sega teasing something Yakuza-related yesterday, and sure enough, it was a Steam release of Yakuza Kiwami 2. Yakuza Kiwami 2 is a remake of 2006’s Yakuza 2, and it continues the story of Kazuma Kiryu, picking up a year after the events of the first game. Yakuza Kiwami 2 is built on the Dragon Engine from Yakuza 6, and adds a host of new features to the original version. It’s been a great 12 months for Yakuza on PC. Yakuza 0 featured our favorite setting of 2018, and Yakuza Kiwami made
