Cyberpunk 2.0 changes so many things about the base Cyberpunk 2077 experience that it might as well be a new game. While it will take you quite some time to navigate the update’s many changes, 2.0‘s new Skill Progression system may just be its most confusing and important new feature. So if you want to
Countdown number-wrangler Carol Vorderman will tell you that she appeared on the very first celebrity version of a British TV show in December 1998, but Carol Vorderman has been getting high on her own supply. 18 months before she gave her Cher in a 1998 episode of Celebrity Stars in Their Eyes, Wendy Richard and Todd Carty
Playing Cyberpunk 2077’s Update 2.0 is like playing a brand-new game. The patch reworks combat, equipment, and skills to the point where they are almost unrecognizable.

Warning: contains major plot spoilers for Harlan Coben’s Shelter Harlan Coben’s Shelter, now out in full on Prime Video, really bought in to Mickey’s dad’s mantra that “you can’t get a hit if you don’t swing the bat”.

Developers Neowiz Games and Round8 Studio’s Lies of P (available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S via Game Pass) has been compared to Bloodborne ever since the game was revealed.

It may have been mere months since Taskmaster series 15 ended, but the brand-new series 16 feels like it’s arrived at just the right time, giving us a chance to escape endlessly depressing talk of the latest celebrity criminal revelations and our world leaders’ somewhat “lalala can’t hear you” approach to climate change. There’s a
Cyberpunk 2077’s Phantom Liberty expansion (and the massive 2.0 update that precedes that expansion’s release) doesn’t completely redeem Cyberpunk 2077. I know people have been rushing to say that it does, and I can understand why. Since Cyberpunk 2077’s disastrous launch in 2020, “redemption” has been Cyberpunk 2077’s clearest path forward in the minds of

It’s been a hot minute since anyone mentioned the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and Microsoft in the same sentence. The last we heard about them, Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley had denied the FTC’s request for a preliminary injunction, which had seemingly freed up Microsoft to acquire Activision Blizzard. That merger hasn’t officially been completed yet,

When Cyberpunk 2077 was released in December 2020, the game was glitchier than the brain of someone suffering from cyberpsychosis. You could almost see the game code break down in real-time, especially on the base PlayStation 4. Instead of abandoning the title, though, CD Projekt RED stuck with Cyberpunk 2077 and released patch after patch

In many ways, Lies of P is a pretty standard (if exceptional) Soulslike game. Actually, its similarities to other Soulslike games have dictated a lot of conversations about the title so far. While your familiarity with that genre will certainly help you dive into the game, even Soulslike veterans may struggle to make sense of

Before we talk about Band of Brothers, Game of Thrones, and the embiggening of television, there’s a relic from the past I need you to see.

Just a few minutes into your Lies of P adventure, the game asks you to choose a Combat Style for your character.

The original run of Doctor Who ran from 1963 – 1989, with the 1996 TV Movie usually affixed to this like a congealed nasal emission on a mighty nose. This is often referred to as ′Classic Who′ (a phrase I try to avoid because it′s hard not to sound like Alan Partridge). Modern or ′NuWho′
