Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun — Words of Vengeance is a new typing action game that’s free to play on Steam, and it challenges the player to enter words and phrases from the Warhammer 40K universe to slaughter your way through an environment filled with foes and Doom-like graphics. The game was announced as part of today’s Warhammer Skulls 2025 games festival, alongside other titles including Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy I and an expansion to Space Marine 2.
A typing game might not sound challenging, but spelling is unpredictable 40,000 years in the future. Just take the main character’s name: Malum Caedo. Boltgun: Words of Vengeance is available to play now on Steam, but be warned: a single typo could spell the end.
Several classic Warhammer games are making their return through remasters. Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War is getting a Definitive Edition that includes all its expansions and upgraded visuals. Following the success of Space Marine 2, the original Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine is back in the form of the Master Crafted Edition.
On the new release front, Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy is an upcoming RPG from Owlcat Games, the developers of the excellent Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader. Fans of old-school shooters will get more of what they love in Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun II, a sequel that is dropping on Steam, Xbox Series, and PlayStation 5. There’s also a new mobile grand strategy title called Supremacy: Warhammer 40,000, and you can pre-register now on Android.
Players who want a taste of Twisted Metal action can play Warhammer 40,000: Speed Freeks, a combat racing game that’s now leaving early access on Steam. Space Marine II is also getting a new Horde mode, while more new content has been added to a lineup of existing Warhammer games, including Tacticus, Vermintide II, Battlesector, Gladius, Blood Bowl III, and more.

Acer’s Nitro XV2 is the fastest 1440p gaming display we’ve ever seen
Acer is gearing up to release a new monitor, and it seems like this one might make its way on to every list of the best gaming monitors out there. Part of the successful Acer Nitro line, the new XV272U KF offers something that many other displays do not -- a lightning-fast refresh rate combined with a 1440p resolution. It's 300Hz, to be specific -- and that's not something we've seen before.
The trick? It's really not cheap.
The Criterion Collection of video games is finally here

Editions is an extension of that work, continuing the design company's focus on game preservation and curated content. Think of the project as a Criterion Collection for video games, preserving prestigious titles and bundling them with additional context that underlines their importance to the medium.
Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny remaster proves that they don’t make them like they used to
“They don’t make them like they used to.”
As a movie buff, no phrase in the English language gets my eyes rolling more than this. For decades, I’ve had to hear that phrase repeated to bemoan the state of cinema. I’ve always found it to be a silly statement. For one: Of course they don’t. Art, and the tools we use to make it, changes. What gets me more is when the phrase is used to tear down modern film. The implication that the art we grew up with is inherently better than what’s around now always feels like a hard-headed snap take that only shows how resistant we are to change.
