Autographs, engravings, and more. Being one of the most recognisable and influential figures in gaming, it should come as no surprise that Masahiro Sakurai has managed to accumulate a number of extremely rare collectibles over the years. In his latest YouTube ‘Grab Bag’ video, the legendary game designer has taken a bit of a different…
I feel bad for controller makers. The Xbox Core Wireless and the PlayStation DualSense are pretty much the best things you can put your hands on. Once you find a controller you like, you tend to stick with it. PowerA is going to try anyway. The company has always made reliable, affordable controllers that look…
Ever wondered what it would be like to run around the maps of Armored Core 6 with your Elden Ring character? If not, why the heck not? I’m sure this modder who imported the AC6 maps into Elden Ring surely can’t be the only one interested in exploring them, sword drawn, and ready to fight…
Starfield‘s community keeps getting smarter with their ship builds—we’ve had AI-exploiting nightmares made of corners, ladderless flat discs, and some sci-fi classics. But what about the little guys of the universe—pilots who don’t want some big, fancy warship with 500 autocannons? That’s exactly who these players are repping.

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty is out next week, but you can play the 2.0 update now. It’s added a whole host of tune-ups like vehicular combat, new skill trees, balance tweaks to the RPG system, and a revamped police force—but who cares about that? You can do cool rocket jumps on your motorbike now, which…

I often spare a thought as to whether I should pack my Steam Deck when travelling and trying to pack light. It’s a fine problem to have: my portable PC isn’t quite portable enough to slip it into my backpack without debating it in my head. Should I? Shouldn’t I? Often I side with taking…
