The PS5’s DualSense controller now works with Steam, but some of the controller’s features will be added later, like the haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. Steam might be a PC gaming platform, but Valve has gone out of its way to make sure that it supports a variety of controllers from different systems. It’s no surprise that Xbox controllers work on Steam, as they’re the best option for PC games. Microsoft has made an effort for its controllers to be compatible with different systems, which is why the Xbox One controllers work on the Xbox Series S/X....

Every year, video game fans on PC look forward to major sales through the Steam digital storefront. This year’s Steam Summer Sale, which took place between June 25 and July 9, discounted thousands of titles as part of the annual event which has become infamous for dismantling one’s frugality. However, summer is not the only time when major sales events roll around, as today Steam began its 2020 Autumn Sale to coincide with Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday....

Super Mario 64 isn’t getting any younger but – thanks to an unofficial ray tracing conversion – it somehow looks better than ever. A new technical preview video of the conversion mod was released today, showing off the mustachioed plumber in a new light. The conversion mod only works when running Super Mario 64 on PC, but there’s a lot to love about the reworked graphics. Created by Dario – a modder turned software engineer – the 30+ minute technical preview was revealed by Digital Foundry....

Ever since rumors of a Super Mario All-Stars 2 started kicking around, reactions have been mostly positive. Justifiably so - the package allegedly comes with three of Mario’s biggest 3D outings of the past 25 years. Although two of these are admittedly more highly regarded than the other, with Sunshine being the relative ugly duckling for many Mario fans, it’s a collection to be excited about. However, as many rumors have taught us before: this could just be too good to be true....

Team Fortress 2 players have been having a hard time enjoying the game lately. Team Fortress 2 has been under assault by bots, which can typically ruin a PvP game in terms of fairness. But these bots are particularly problematic, as they’ve been spewing hateful homophobic and racist comments in chat. Developer Valve, who has stopped producing major content updates to TF2 for some time now, has had to step in to try and mitigate the wave of bots....

A battle royale is an online multiplayer game where players across the map battle it out until only one player or team remains. Battle royales have been the most popular genre in gaming for quite a while now and thousands of people play them daily. As a result, many companies are trying to get in on the genre’s success. Some battle royales can be quite challenging and players that are new to the genre, or video games in general, may not have a lot of fun if they begin with such a difficult game....

League of Legends continues to evolve throughout ten seasons since 2009. With each season comes massive changes to champions, items, and the way you play the game. Some of the items have had compelling moments in the past few years. Most of the items on this list have been removed or changed massively. We will also only look at items when they were at their most powerful and not going through a life cycle of possible changes....

CD Projekt Red’s latest RPG, Cyberpunk 2077, has been making waves in the industry as of late, though not probably as intended due to the various controversies that happened during the launch. Despite a rocky start and ongoing problems, Cyberpunk 2077 does have some redeeming qualities. One of the best things about Cyberpunk 2077, and CDPR’s RPGs in general, are the characters. Most of them are multi-faceted personalities with a rich backstory and constantly evolving motivations, and in Night City, a few manage to capture attention the most....

Since World of Warcraft: Shadowlands dropped with record-breaking numbers, fans have been exploring the afterlife for the denizens of Azeroth. During your journeys, you are sure to encounter epic quests and equally epic foes that must be slain. At the end of the day, however, there is one thing more important than your hero’s journey. Fashion. In every expansion to World of Warcraft, there are some great looking (and not-so-great looking) armor sets released....

There are few traditions that tread the line between spiritualism and hyper-consumerism quite like Christmas. Flash sales, family gatherings, and friendly reunions are squeezed into the packed holiday season. The tension between those two models is often found at the heart of Hayao Miyazaki’s work at Studio Ghibli, exploring ideas with charming characters, emotional connections, and fantastical settings. Though not set at Christmas, the studio’s catalogue of animated movies manage to package a variety of themes such as coming of age, tradition versus change, and community into whimsical adventures that share similar sentiments with those typically associated with the holiday spirit - making them perfect companions for cozy Christmas viewing....

This article contains The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It spoilers. Though the latest Conjuring movie, The Devil Made Me Do It, is named after the Arne Johnson murder case, whereby a young man claimed the crime he committed was caused by demonic possession, there’s an entirely new subplot that carries the body of the new film. After the supposedly possessed Arne Johnson is held in custody awaiting trial for the murder of his girlfriend’s landlord, paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren (Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga) are on a mission to discover how and why these possessions took place....

The developers for Ubisoft Massive release an update for players of Tom Clancy’s The Division on Xbox One to fix the game’s double UI bug on the console. It’s no secret that Tom Clancy’s The Division is continuing to have a rough go of it. Not only has Ubisoft Massive’s wildly popular third-person shooter been plagued by problems since the game’s Update 1.2 launched, which has caused characters to get deleted and has put the title in a seemingly constant state of maintenance, but also some of the fixes being implemented aren’t even working....

After collaborating on the inventive (but underperforming) films I Wanna Hold Your Hand and Used Cars, Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale struck creative gold in 1985 with Back to the Future, easily the most popular sci-fi comedy in history. But then again, what even is history? As the popular franchise — which also included 1989’s dark and weird time-jumping odyssey Back to the Future Part II and 1990’s charming Western Back to the Future Part III — illustrated how time is more mutable than any of us could possibly imagine....

Yakuza: Like A Dragon may have only just released last month, but that hasn’t stopped SEGA from announcing there’s another Yakuza game in development. This news comes from the Chief Creative Officer of SEGA, who announced that a new game is in the works during SEGA’s live stream which celebrated the series’ 15 year anniversary. Unfortunately, there was no further information about the game’s plot, when it will release, or even a potential title....

This article contains spoilers for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. The first season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is essentially perfect television, a delightful space adventure whose episodic storytelling has allowed it to explore many different kinds of genres. From tense submarine thrillers and goofy bodyswap romantic comedies to fantastical children’s tales and dark horror stories, each hour manages to be entertaining in its own right while still telling us, as viewers, something worthwhile about the characters we’re watching....
