Wonder boy. When Super Mario World first released back in 1990 (or ’91 or ’92 depending on your region), it felt like a huge moment for Nintendo’s iconic platforming franchise. Here was Mario as we already knew him, bounding energetically through 2D environments on the way to his usual goal but, at the same time,…
Just one day after AMD removed Anti-Lag+ for Counter-Strike 2, to prevent any more players from potentially receiving account bans, there’s now a new driver set that’s stripped the feature altogether.

You can…
As spotted by GamesRadar, Jennifer English—the voice behind everyone’s favourite head-wiggling smarm machine Shadowheart—has been playing Baldur’s Gate 3 with her partner Aliona Baranova (also the game’s performance director) on Twitch. The otherwise wholesome stream took a turn for the saucy, however, when Baranova’s character engaged in a bit of Gith lovin’. The game’s stream-friendly…
Let’s ride. After being revealed back in the hazy days of this summer, Atari has today announced that the deluxe edition of the rollercoaster park management sim, RollerCoaster Tycoon Adventures Deluxe, will be speeding its way onto Switch digitally on 1st November and physically just two days later on 3rd November.

The US Department of Commerce has announced new export restrictions on a range of Nvidia GPUs, with the focus primarily on preventing shipments to China.
