Talking Point: Starter Pack – What Are Your Nintendo Switch 2 Essentials?

Ultima Online and Star Wars Galaxies vet tells me the theme park ‘assembly line’ MMO just isn’t viable anymore, especially as dev costs spike: ‘We hit the wall’

Every other week, I’ll be sharing my thoughts on the genre, interviewing fellow MMO-heads like me, taking a deep-dive into mechanics we’ve all taken for granted, and, occasionally, bringing in guest writers to talk about their MMO of choice. I…

Game Changer: Jikkyō J. League: Perfect Striker / ISS 64 – Turning Japanese

After gaming on pro-level panels I can tell you now that 360 Hz is the sweet spot for gaming monitors
Jacob Fox, hardware writer (Image credit: Future) This week I’ve been: Latency testing a 320 Hz monitor, trying to climb up CS2 Premier ranks, and looking into information theory.
