Deliver At All Costs is almost the Simpsons: Hit & Run successor Ive always wanted

It's already been a jam-packed year for gaming, and that's why I think Deliver At All Costs won't get nearly as much attention as the other big titles that already launched in 2025 (as well as those to come). Flanked on either side by the releases of Doom: The Dark Ages and Elden Ring Nightreign, it feels like Far Out Games' Konami-published debut is destined to be overshadowed. And while I don't think that Deliver At All Costs is some diamond in the rough that will overcome this summer's...

Daters: Stop obsessing over height

This article contains spoilers for Materialists.

When the internet discovered that Tinder was testing a height preference, it reignited a long-discussed matter: the importance of height, particularly men's height, in dating. The new film Materialists touches on height and romance as well, and now it's the topic du jour once again.

The suns poles have flipped. A spacecraft is watching what happens next.

A spacecraft just got the first look at the bottom of the sun, and what it saw was a hot mess — literally. 

Our host star, about 93 million miles away in space, is in utter turmoil right now, having just reached peak chaos in its solar cycle.

Review: Mario Kart World is so much fun its borderline sadistic

Mario Kart World, the lone original flagship launch title for the Nintendo Switch 2, is as much defined by what it is as what it is not. 

What it is is a tremendously fun Mario Kart game that hones the franchise’s trademark fun to a hilarious, borderline sadistic, and nearly scientifically perfect degree.
