I reviewed Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition - Switch 2 Edition for @nintendolife.com 🎉
Honestly, it was a blast revisiting this fantastic title, and it runs flawlessly. I just wish the visuals and those promised Switch 2 perks were equally as impressive.

Our rescue dog has spent the last six months being quite reserved, but ever since fireworks season, she barks at absolutely anything making noise on our street or the next

EXCLUSIVE: So far it's been unclear what proof Rockstar Games has to justify its firing of 34 union members, who it claims were leaking "confidential information in a public forum".
PMG has now seen some of the messages which contributed to this decision being made.

Look I don't like generative AI, but if you are a busy professional and you tell me it saves you time? Fine
You're a scientist and it helps with research? Fine
BUT, if you use AI to make MUSIC, one of the most human things possible, I genuinely think you might not have a soul

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.
That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.
