Onward and Upward! You might remember that prior to the launch of Super Mario Bros. Wonder last week, we mentioned that the option to mute the game’s talking flowers entirely seemed to be a thing. Many of you responded quite positively to the news, with some commenting that “The voices are awful” and “That’ll be…
Lords of the Fallen’s been getting patched at an absurd rate. Since its release October 13, Hexworks has pumped eight whole updates into the game, fiddling with the dials on performance, the game’s parry system, enemy projectiles—the whole nine yards. The studio has started as it means to carry on, it seems—Patch v.1.1.224 (and more…
When Alan Wake 2’s PC requirements were announced last Friday they caused quite the stir amongst the PC gaming community, with some decrying a perceived lack of optimisation and unrealistic hardware expectations as a sign of a troubled release to come.

We can all sleep a bit better now. The Nuon is one of the most obscure gaming systems of all time – partly due to the fact that it’s not really a gaming system at all, but a DVD player that also plays video games. Based on a chipset created by VM Labs, Nuon would…
I love this period of time in GPUland. You know the one I mean, it’s between the point when AMD and Nvidia have released the main chip designs using the latest architecture and the start of the refresh season. It’s easy to tell when it’s that moment, because tech news channels are awash with leaks…
Barrelmancy, they’re calling it. This is how one Reddit user discovered a way to get back at sweet, sweet Karlach’s mortal enemy in Baldur’s Gate 3. How terribly she was wronged, and how explosive her revenge will be. Here’s how they did it. In case it wasn’t clear, this article is going to talk about…
Just… why? We’ve long had grievances with some of the games showing up on Nintendo’s eShop. Amongst some true shining gems, lumps of coal have been dumped with seemingly no consideration for consumer satisfaction, including the likes of The Last Hope – Dead Zone Survival (since removed) and Prison Life Simulator 2022. The latest addition…
Wonder sees third-largest physical launch in Mario platformer history. The latest UK charts are now in and it is a big week at the top of the table for new releases (surprising nobody). This was always going to be a battle between the boys in red and it is the hero of the friendly-neighbourhood variety…
