Welcome back to the dollhouse. Following last year’s demo featured in the ID@Xbox Demo Fest Showcase, Alisa Developer’s Cut is finally releasing on Xbox One & Series X|S systems. The game aims to be a callback to the golden age of survival horror, all the way down to the native resolutions and pre-rendered backgrounds of…
The best just got better. Back in 2020, we reviewed the excellent Retro Fighters StrikerDC, naming it the only Dreamcast controller you need. Leap forward a few years, and we may have to modify that statement because the company has just released a successor that offers 2.4GHz wireless connectivity, making it even more attractive to…

This week, the world of gaming has been shaken by reports that Microsoft is considering shifting its focus from console hardware to pure software, with rumours that many Xbox exclusives will be coming to rival systems. As you can imagine, this has…
Got some wares for you, choom. Well, I don’t. I’m just some media working a PC gaming screamsheet, but the deckheads over at Humble Bundle do. They’ve compiled the Cyberpunk RED and Classics Bundle, a 23-item library of books and materials for the Cyberpunk tabletop roleplaying game. That’d be the very same one that Cyberpunk…
Metal Gear Solid: The Master Collection brought the classic series to PC much in the same way delivery service Yodel brings parcels to your door.
