Fifth Element ensured that I will never stop pining for sci-fi games that let me fly between skyscrapers and dodge traffic in my futuristic car, and it looks like Cloudpunk is primed to scratch that itch. It’s a story-driven cyberpunk exploration game that puts you behind the wheel of a flying delivery van, and it’s coming to Steam on April 23. As a courier, you’ll take jobs from cyberpunks, androids and anyone else who can pay for a speedy delivery. “At its core, Cloudpunk is about what it take

It’s free-to-play, of course, and while it is fuelled by microtransactions, it’s at least doing away with loot boxes. Valorant executive producer Anna Donlon also told Polygon that the weapon skins would be upgradable, and that the game boasts a “couple of different progression systems.” Riot’s worried about skins making characters harder to recognise, giving players a potential edge just because of some cosmetics. I think there’s a way to do that. Their popularity is dwindling, with only 8 perc

Punching people in the face in LA Noire is a lot of fun in VR, but other things are fun in VR, too.

“Coronaviruses display a ‘spike’ protein on their surface, which binds tightly to a receptor protein found on the surface of human cells,” explains the new coronavirus puzzle description. “Once the coronavirus spike binds to the human receptor, the virus can infect the human cell and replicate. In recent weeks, researchers have determined the structure of the 2019 coronavirus spike protein and how it binds to human receptors. If we can design a protein that binds to this coronavirus spike protei

16 years after Half-Life 2, we still don’t have Half-Life 3, but very soon we will have Half-Life: Alyx, a prequel to HL2 that will be out in a couple of weeks. “There are Half-Life: Alyx team members who have been at Valve since Half-Life 2, and quite a few who go back to the original Half-Life,” Walker said. We absolutely see Half-Life: Alyx as our return to this world, not the end of it.” “Half-Life: Alyx is a full-fledged entry in the Half-Life series, both in terms of the sheer amount of co

However, don’t expect 10nm to storm the consumer market and strike fear into rival AMD, which is cranking out 7nm chips. Speaking at a Morgan Stanley conference, Davis seemed to be trying to temper expectations on Intel’s ongoing shift to 10nm. If you hit up Intel’s webcast (no registration needed), you can catch the comments starting at around the 18:05 mark. There’s no universal system for naming nodes, and without taking a deep dive into manufacturing intricacies, Intel’s 10nm node is roughly

Razer just expanded its line of Viper gaming mice with the Viper Mini, a smaller version of the Viper and Viper Ultimate (the best gaming mouse with the highest DPI) with a shorter length and width grip. The Viper Mini checks in at just 61 grams and measures 4.6 (L) x 2.97 (W) x 1.49 (H) inches. Razer’s aim with the Viper Mini is to pack full-size Viper features into a smaller, more nimble body.

(Image credit: Microsoft)A new cannonball and throwable weapon are also being added to the roster.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is a hotbed for strange bugs and creative exploits, but today’s the first time I’ve seen someone manage to hogtie themselves. Reddit user zzzenix just wanted to grab a bounty, but instead found themselves betrayed by their own hands. They start tying them up, but suddenly they fall over and ropes spontaneously appear around their hands and feet. At that point, the bounty abruptly stands up and then begins to cower as the aforementioned cowboys start firing on the now hogtie

Death Stranding’s photo mode, which will arrive with the PC version on June 2, is probably going to get a lot of use.

Along with the photo mode, the PC version will come with an expanded soundtrack, Half-Life-themed headgear and som

Meet “Farmer Steel,” a rugged old man with all the familiar farmer trappings: A straw hat, flannel shirt, and a weathered face that’s seen a few too many winters. Well, you may also notice that he’s got not one, but two prosthetic legs holding him up. The Zorgotron skin will also run you 1,200 V-Bucks, but at least you get two styles for that.
