Hackers known as ShinyHunters have breached Rockstar Games’ data through a third-party application, demanding a ransom and threatening to leak sensitive company information ahead of the launch of Grand Theft Auto 6. Rockstar has actively downplayed the breach, insisting that only “non-material” company info was accessed and that development on their highly-anticipated open-world crime epic remains entirely unimpacted.

Pragmata Review · IGN Capcom’s Pragmata delivers a brisk, 12-hour campaign that feels ripped straight out of the Xbox 360 era, focusing on highly satisfying, gimmick-driven combat rather than deep storytelling. The core loop—using real-time grid-based hacking to expose robot weak spots while blasting away with punchy weapons—is incredibly engaging and easily makes up for the somewhat generic sci-fi plot. This is definitely worth a playthrough for anyone who misses punchy, straightforward, old-school action shooters.

Mouse: P.I. for Hire Review · IGN Mouse: P.I. for Hire is a gorgeous black-and-white boomer shooter that nails the 1930s cartoon aesthetic, but completely misses the mark on noir storytelling. While the retro gunplay feels solid enough to carry the 12-hour campaign, the non-stop cheese puns and the ludonarrative dissonance of playing a mass-murdering private eye keep it from achieving its true potential.
