Paradox have announced that Star Trek: Infinite is coming out on October 12th.

Baldur’s Gate 3 is a relentlessly horny videogame, Alice B wrote back in August, and that certainly describes the shock I felt when noted Githyanki grouch Lae’zel abruptly told me that she was down to clown, a whole three hours in. “Ms Lae’zel, I happen to be a graduate of BioWare Sex University,” I told

It begins. Starfield is out and while its official modding tools aren’t yet available, that hasn’t stopped its community from getting to work.
