Playing video games may be good for your mental health, according to a large new study conducted in Japan during the COVID-19 pandemic. When the pandemic upended global supply chains in 2020, demand for video games far outpaced the available supply, so Japanese retailers used a lottery system to decide who could buy two major consoles, the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5 (PS5). Researchers saw an opportunity for a natural experiment on how this random distribution of games played out. They surveyed nearly 98,000 people – including about 8,200 people who participated in the lottery – and foun...

A group of researchers in Germany developed a way to use online video games to manipulate study participants’ beliefs in free will in the context of experimental studies by restricting their ability to act in a game. They believe that the new method overcomes the shortcomings of methods for manipulating free will beliefs currently used in social psychology and experimental philosophy. The paper was published in Psychological Research. Philosophers and scientists have been debating for centuries whether humans and possibly other living organisms have free will. Some scientific approaches argue ...

There’s bad news and then there’s worse news when it comes to Borderlands. The bad news is that despite TV shows like The Last Of Us and Fallout indicating that the big screen video-game adaptation curse had been broken, Eli Roth’s take on the 2009 sci-fi shooter RPG proves that multi-episode series are the way to go. The worse news is that Borderlands could very well be one of 2024’s worst films, which considering its cast – Cate Blanchett, Jamie-Lee Curtis, Édgar Ramírez, Kevin Hart, Gina Gerson, Jack Black - is quite the catastrophic achievement. The film sees soldier Roland (Hart) joining ...

More than 200,000 European citizens want to pass a law so the EU’s video game license publishers will be forced to preserve their favourite games. For some video games, a player needs to connect through the internet to the publisher directly to play the game off their servers. The petition, called Stop Killing Games, says that when publishers decide to sever the connection to their servers, they “proceed to destroy all working copies of the game”. “This practice is effectively robbing customers of their purchases and makes restoration impossible,” the petition reads. “It represents a radical a...
