A major video game based on Avatar: The Last Airbender is reportedly no longer in development, disappointing fans who were hoping for a large-scale RPG set in the beloved animated universe. According to an IGN report, the unannounced project was being developed by Saber Interactive and was planned as a high-budget role-playing game inspired by Nickelodeon’s Avatar franchise. The game had reportedly been in development for several years before production was quietly halted. While official details about the project were limited, reports suggested it would have featured an entirely new story set thousands of years before the events of Avatar:…

You probably know Exodus as the Matthew McConaughey game, as the actor’s involvement was the pillar on which the game was promoted when it was revealed in 2023. McConaughey plays C.C. Orlev in Exodus, but his role seems ultimately minor in the larger universe and story (though we could be wrong – time will tell). The arguably more interesting and affecting involved party in the game is James Ohlen. Ohlen worked at BioWare for more than two decades, had his hand on every franchise BioWare worked on and created, and was the developer’s senior creative director at the time when…

Astronauts aboard the International Space Station reportedly took precautionary shelter measures after maintenance work on a long-troubled Russian module raised fresh safety concerns about air leaks aboard the orbiting laboratory. According to reports, the incident involved Russia’s Zvezda service module, which has experienced recurring air leak problems for several years. During repair work and pressure tests connected to the leak investigation, astronauts were instructed to isolate themselves in safer sections of the ISS as engineers monitored the station’s integrity and pressure stability. The event highlights the growing strain on aging infrastructure aboard the International Space Station, particularly within some of…

If you’re a fan of co-op platformers like It Takes Two and Split Fiction, Out of Words should absolutely be on your radar. This 2D platformer stars two teenagers, Kurt and Karla, whose friendship becomes strained when one of them is moving away. Somehow, they’re transported to a bizarrely idyllic but dangerous fantasy world with their mouths erased. I played 30 minutes of the game’s second chapter during Summer Game Fest Play Days, and while the game’s stop-motion aesthetic drew me in, the clever cooperative platforming mechanics kept me hooked.  It’s appropriate that my demo session with the game’s creative director…

Computex 2026 is over, and as usual, the show floor was packed with more laptops, PCs, components, peripherals, and oddball gadgets than any one person could properly process in a few days. There were sleek ultrabooks, massive gaming rigs, AI PCs, experimental designs, and plenty of products that looked like they were built mainly to make people stop and stare. A handful of products stayed on our minds long after we left the show floor. They weren’t always the most practical, powerful, or important announcements, but each had something memorable about it. So, in no particular order, here are the…

Dinosaur survival game The Lost Wild seemed, for lack of a better word, lost since its reveal in 2021. So much so, in fact, that we included the game in our recent magazine round-up of long-announced games that had more or less gone radio silent since their debuts. We like to think that article willed the game’s reemergence during this week’s PlayStation’s State of Play into existence, but regardless of the reasoning, we’re happy to see it again, and I was even more intrigued to check out a 30-minute hands-off demo at Summer Game Fest Play DaysThe game stars Saskia,…

No no no, we are not sad. *slumps in the corner crying* Microsoft is officially shutting down Collections, one of the more unique productivity features inside the Edge browser, and many users believe the move reflects the company’s growing obsession with AI-first experiences. According to Microsoft’s support documentation, Collections in Edge is being discontinued beginning June 2026. The feature allowed users to save groups of webpages, images, notes, shopping links, and research material into organized visual boards directly inside the browser. For students, researchers, online shoppers, and multitaskers, Collections became one of Edge’s most practical hidden tools – and one…
