Black Myth: Wukong has swiftly risen up to become the most wishlisted game on Steam. Though it doesn't come out for one whole week. Ugh. Thankfully we can spend our time wisely in preparation for the big day—by repeatedly running the game's new benchmarking tool to nail our settings just right.
If there's one thing you can be certain of in the world of electronic devices, it's that someone will manage to get it to run Doom. And in the case of this year's Def Con event, a long-running and popular hacking conference, the device in question just so happened to be the badge issued to all attendees.
The Borderlands movie continues to circle the drain in a way that, as I mentioned yesterday, is so dramatic that it just makes me kinda sad—its US box office debut coughed up a 'not good enough for the balance sheets' number of $8.8 million which, according to Variety, is a whole lot of scratch shy of the $115 million it took to make and the $30 million it cost to market and distribute.
Everybody knows that Doom 2 is better than the original Doom. I mean, the double barrelled super shotgun and the Icon of Sin? I rest my case.

The update to Bethesda's existing Doom + Doom 2 remaster bundle adds new enhancements like cross-platform online multiplayer, a new official episode, and a new BOOM-compatible engine that enables the use of over two decades of existing DOOM mods that can be published and installed through an in-game mod browser. That's cool!
Stalker 2 was selected as the most wanted game by a panel of experts enlisted for the first-ever PC Gaming Show: Most Wanted in 2023. I was not one of those experts, but Stalker 2 is definitely at the top of my most-wanted games list too, and so I was very excited to finally get an extended look at the game in a new 35-minute mostly-gameplay video shared today by developer GSC Game World.
Valve seems to be gearing up to release its first new game in four years, and we already know way too much about it: We've seen dozens of Deadlock's characters and their full movesets on YouTube, we can poke around in its file directories, it has a pretty popular subreddit, and, as reported by VG247, it hit 17,000 concurrent players this weekend, rising to over 18,000 today. Not bad for a game that hasn't even been announced yet.
