Kingdom Come: Deliverance, as a series, is no stranger to controversy. The first came in for criticism from progressive voices over representation and its depiction of the conflict between the Czech protagonists and their Cuman enemies, while the second game managed to upset the opposite end of the political spectrum by featuring gay romance and positively portrayed Romani, Jewish, and Muslim characters.For its part, Warhorse is rather tired of talking about it. The studio told us last year that it was “fed up” of being dragged into culture wars and wanted only “to make a cool videogame,” but when I…

Avowed was quietly one of 2025’s best RPGs. In fact, it even made Kotaku‘s best games of the year list. But it was also one of the few remaining Microsoft games that was still exclusive to Xbox Series X/S. That changes next month. Obsidian Entertainment confirmed the Skyrim-like will hit PlayStation 5 on February 17 alongside a big anniversary update across all platforms. Despite bringing Forza Horizon and Gears of War to PS5 in 2025, Avowed remained an unusual island of exclusivity amid Microsoft’s new multiplatform push. It’ll now join Obsidian Entertainment’s other 2025 RPG, The Outer Worlds 2, on…

In 2025, 1.8 billion people use AI tools globally—yet 95% of enterprise AI investments fail to deliver measurable ROI. The culprit isn’t the technology itself; it’s how we choose and implement these tools. With ChatGPT Plus at just $20/month and thousands of free alternatives available, why do businesses waste an average of $180,000 per quarter on “wrong” AI tools? The answer lies in hidden costs that never appear on invoices. Lost productivity. Brand decay. Security risks. Opportunity costs that dwarf subscription fees. Most companies think they’re saving money by staying free. They’re not. They’re bleeding cash in ways their spreadsheets…

CES 2026 has been a bit of a blowout for the PC. Nvidia and AMD had basically squat to show off, leaving Intel’s Panther Lake as the only major tech launch. Except, that is, for monitors and what looks to me like the most exciting gaming display of 2026.I give you the LG UltraGear Evo 39GX950B, all 39 inches of it. This new gaming monitor has so much going for it. It gets LG’s latest OLED panel tech (albeit minus the RGB-stripe subpixel layout) and a 5K2K native resolution.That’s 5,120 by 2,160 pixels. It’s basically a 4K 16:9 pixel grid…
