Ghost of Yōtei was both Game Informer and one of my own favorite games of last year. The single player campaign is dense and often solitary by design. Atsu spends a lot of time alone, pushing even those who want to get close to her away. The new Legends mode, which released March 10, is not a lonely experience. Like Tsushima’s similarly titled Legends mode, it is a full campaign of levels that can be played with others. The amount of additional game on offer is impressive, even more so when you consider that it is all free for Ghost of…
After analyzing 10 million webpages, researchers have found thousands of websites accidentally exposing sensitive API credentials, including keys linked to major services like Amazon Web Services, Stripe, and OpenAI. This is a serious issue because APIs act as the backbone of the apps we use today. They allow websites to connect to services like payments, cloud storage, and AI tools, but they rely on digital keys to stay secure. Once exposed, API keys can allow anyone to interact with those services with malicious intent. Sensitive API keys exposed across thousands of sites According to TechXplore, the researchers identified 1,748 unique…

Last year, Hades II and Dispatch were among the most critically acclaimed games. Hades II landed at number 2 on Game Informer’s list of the best games of 2025, while Dispatch was one of the final titles cut from that top 10 list. However, they also have another thing in common: Neither came to Xbox last year. That is changing very soon, as both Supergiant Games and AdHoc Studio announced their critical and fan-favorite games are coming to Microsoft’s gaming platform in the next few months.In Hades II, you take control of Melinoë as you journey through the underworld to…
You know that moment when AI assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude suddenly lose the plot mid-conversation and start hallucinating like they’re absolutely sure they’re right? Yeah…it’s equal parts funny and painfully annoying. My usual reaction is switching between apps, hoping one of them gets it right. But the real problem is that I have to start over every single time. It feels like I’m stuck in a loop explaining my life story to different AIs, one after the other. Now with Gemini, I can now jump in from other AI apps without that whole reset conversation. Finally, the Google…

The most exciting parts of any gaming showcase are the new game reveals, and today’s Xbox Partner Preview gave us exactly that with Moosa: Dirty Fate. Set in Feudal Korea, the game showcases intense third-person combat set against a bleak backdrop. Check out the reveal trailer below. When a crop-killing famine spreads across Korea, its people are driven to cannibalism, while bandits raid and burn villages in the chaos. You play as the hero tasked with freeing the land, and given that the trailer’s narrator refers to you as “your majesty,” it sounds like you’re also a ruler of some kind.The…
Have you ever asked a chatbot something and felt like it completely missed your point? You say something with a bit of nuance, and the AI misses the subtlety entirely. That is exactly the problem researchers are trying to solve. Even though the emotional connection with AI can feel deeper than human conversation for many users, most AI systems today still treat a sentence as a single block of sentiment. If you mix praise and criticism, the nuance often gets lost. The research, by Zhifeng Yuan and Jin Yuan, introduces a model that can break down a sentence and understand…
