New Book Tells The True Story Of Nintendo’s Legal Fight To Establish Who Invented The Video Game
“…and the secret, never-before-revealed settlement that profoundly shaped today’s industry”. Renowned video game journalist and award-winning author Simon Parkin has just announced his latest book, which focuses on a significant moment in video game history. Trail of the Space Invaders: The Case that Changed Video Games follows Parkin’s previous best-selling works, which include A Game…
Corsair’s slightly-outrageous Warthog PC case is the thing I’d most like to take home from Computex 2026, and I’m not ashamed to say it
I’ve been running our Computex 2026 liveblog throughout this year’s show, and as a result, I’ve had a front row seat watching all of our reporting rolling in. It’s been an excess-filled event full of exotic hardware releases, but out of all of them, I think the product I want the most is the new…
Hades 2’s Next Update Launches On Switch 1 & 2 Soon, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
Apollogise. Supergiant Games is back with another Hades II hotfix in its second post-launch patch. ‘Hotfix 3’ is already live on PC, though an accompanying Bluesky post from the dev confirmed that it’ll also be “coming to the console versions as well”, so keep an eye out for the Switch 1 & 2 drop. Read…
I thought I was over 2.5D, but make it look like Marvel vs. Capcom plus Berserk and I’m back, baby
I’ve grown weary of 2.5D games in the past few years, with most of my fatigue stemming from the “HD-2D” look Square Enix has embraced with the Octopath series and remakes of its old games. Seeing a pixel art guy ambling around a 3D village with the bloom cranked up just doesn’t do it for…
The best quiet gaming keyboard we’ve tried is getting a smaller TKL version this year
If you’re looking for a ‘quiet’ gaming keyboard that is actually quiet, Be Quiet!’s Light Mount is a truly excellent gaming keyboard (and one we gave it 93% in our review last year). However, if that one is simply too big to fit comfortably on your desk, the gaming brand is putting out a TKL…
Corsair’s range-topping AX1600i power supply gets some much-needed upgrades, including pin monitoring, proper GPU power sockets, and a reduction in size
If there’s one component in your beloved gaming PC that you should never cheap out on, it’s the power supply unit, especially if you’re using a high-end CPU and graphics card. Corsair’s AX1600i has been the PSU of choice for many enthusiasts, but its design is somewhat lacking these days. Well, good news: it’s been…
This year’s Computex has highlighted just how big an impact Apple can have on the wider computing industry
If you’ve kept your eye on Computex in previous years, this year might have felt as peculiar to you as it did to me. There was, of course, as much in the way of AI as we were expecting, but in addition to that, some of the nominally gaming-oriented products seemed a little… non-gamer-y. There…
This skyscraper-shaped custom PC at Computex has a food stall out the front selling ‘Taiwanese sausage with sticky rice’ and a rock climber free soloing up the side
My hardware happy place is cool people making cool things. A case in point would be this custom build that leverages an already very nice touchscreen PC into a Taipei night market diorama scene. The headline act is the light-up, 3D printed recreation of the Taipei 101 building, complete with an itty bitty Alex Honnold…
Ace Combat’s director has been saying ‘hey, we want to ride in one of these jets’ for 30 years, but he’s still never gotten the chance
The face of Ace Combat, Kazutoki Kono, has been working on the game series for a very long time. One of his earliest game credits is 1997’s Ace Combat 2 for the PlayStation—he’s worked his way up to the role of series brand director from his initial contributions to that game as part of the…
