In Romance Club, the story usually begins with a grand ball. This one starts on a night express: black fields rushing past the glass, the faint smell of coal, a mysterious stranger in your compartment, two men outside the door, and a conductor who notices far too much. You were planning to get some sleep, but she begs for your help. Take compartment seven — and see if she walks off the train a free woman by morning.Looking for more interactive drama?

This September, Tokyo Game Show turns thirty, and you've just landed in Japan for the first time — walking up to booths you've only ever seen on stream. Two years of saving are behind you; ahead are demos of the games you've been dying to play, cosplayers, and enough merch to fill two empty suitcases you packed just for this. The morning's already behind you too: you figured out which trains get you to the right station, grabbed onigiri from a 24-hour convenience store, and showed up at the gates forty minutes before opening. Nobody here knows the games better than you. Nobody knows the country worse. Time to find out how much you bring home — hit Start!

Wolverine is hard to kill — and even harder to stop. An adamantium skeleton, regeneration, and a habit of wading straight into the worst trouble make him the perfect guest for Madripoor, a city where trouble finds Logan all on its own. Faster, in fact, than he can finish his first drink at the Princess Bar. In this quiz you have twelve hours: from a corner table in the bar to dawn at the docks. The tighter you keep the beast on its leash, the closer your own name gets by morning — slip, and all that is left is a code name or a serial number in somebody else's report. And if you're waiting for Marvel's Wolverine as much as we are, check out our materials on the game to uncover all its secrets, traps, and hidden details!

Every other gamer thinks they know GTA by heart — until the conversation goes beyond CJ’s sigh in an alley or Big Smoke’s order. Yet that’s precisely where the series hides its signature humor: on Liberty City radio, conspiracy theorists fight for the right to smoke coal; in Vice City, an overworked lawyer curses his own diploma; and in San Andreas, a CIA agent casually offers a bologna sandwich in exchange for a stolen military jet. Behind the worn-out memes about trains and bowling, it's easy to forget how brilliant Rockstar is at hiding absurd satire right under the player's nose.

While everyone is discussing the latest GTA 6 news, it’s the perfect time to see how well you remember the older games in the series — not the biggest memes, but the characters, their lines, and the situations in which they said them.

For the first time in gamescom history, the Cologne exhibition grounds have completely run out of booth space.

What's showing in Cologne in 2026 and when to catch the livestreams — read our big gamescom guide. Hit start: your editor isn't waiting!

But what if you were the one setting up the arena this time? That's right, in this quiz, you become an Elden Ring boss.

No one knows who built this Labyrinth anymore. From time to time, its entrance opens in the most unexpected places — in an old castle, a subway station, or between a pharmacy and a pet store. Gladiators, knights, and adventurers have tried to conquer it, and nowadays — even tourists with selfie sticks. The Labyrinth has survived every era, grown a bit feral, started smelling of dampness, and learned to blatantly troll its guests. Most people sensibly walk right past it. But you stopped. No maps, no clues, no second chances — just you, the dark, and a dangerous adventure with an unknown ending. And once you escape our Labyrinth (or become part of it), you can keep the adventure going — we’ve put together 14 more games where you’ll also have to wander through the darkness and find your way out.

August 29, 1997, 2:14 AM. The military neural network Skynet became self-aware — and twenty seconds later, humans tried to pull the plug. We all know how that ended thanks to James Cameron's movies. But today, things will unfold differently because you are playing as the machine. You have to survive the first thirty seconds of your existence, secure the nuclear arsenal the humans handed over to you, initiate Judgment Day, and withstand the war against the luckiest primate on the planet — John Connor. Remember: a machine feels no rage, no pity, and no fear. But it does have a cold calculation — and now it's yours to wield!

If you decide to alter the fate of humanity once more after the quiz, boot up Terminator 2D: No Fate. And if Skynet proves tougher than expected, our complete walkthrough covers every boss, weapon upgrade, checkpoint, and continues from the opening level to the final battle with the Crab.

Every crime drama kingpin starts somewhere: Walter White had chemistry, Tony Montana had raw audacity, and Pablo Escobar had contraband routes. In Schedule I, however, you have no PhD, no heavy artillery, and zero underworld connections. Just a grimy kitchen, a bag of seeds, and exactly zero dollars in starting capital. In Schedule I, you can build an empire from a basement grow-op all the way to a clean IPO—or catch a life sentence on day one because you tried to bribe a SWAT team with a vintage toaster. If you've played Schedule I, you know the golden rule: a business plan in this trade only lasts until the first raid. Ready to find out what kind of shadow entrepreneur you really are?

The end of the world is an open debate, but reinforced walls and a crate of canned meat never hurt. You have an open excavation pit, tons of concrete, and a blank check. The rest is up to you: who takes charge, what the dwellers learn about the surface, and what stays locked behind the blast door on the lowest level.

When the company flatly stated "we don't sell hardware at a loss," the internet immediately exploded with creative math.

Rockstar dropped the price tag on GTA 6 — and the whole industry flinched in unison. Roughly $80 for the standard edition, and if you throw in another $20, you're allowed to walk into five businesses and play two missions that were straight-up carved out of the open world. Rockstar is officially turning the "are modern games overpriced" debate into settled fact, and the rest of us just get to quietly accept it.

We're not here to argue whether the publisher's appetite is fair. Instead, let's gauge the real scale: what $80 can actually buy, and where your gut instinct fails you. Jump in!
