The replies weren’t totally focused on games – some of the interviewees spoke about what they were looking…
That’s eight terabytes of storage on a single PCIe SSD. Seriously. We’ve come a long way since the conception of M.2 solid state storage, haven’t we? This beautiful, sleek little number from Western Digital pushes the limits of what’s currently possible with just how much storage you can get on a single stick. It’s nothing…
Once upon a time, HeroQuest was the board game equivalent of a gateway drug, only instead of leading to meth it would lead you into the slightly less financially crippling life of a Warhammer player. Or maybe it would get you into Dungeons & Dragons. Either way, you’d end up a nerd with a collection…

Why don’t we just wait here for a little while? Nightdive Studio’s The Thing: Remastered launched in North America back on 5th December, giving Switch gamers in that territory the chance to (re)acquaint themselves with Computer Artwork’s cult squad-based shooter from 2002. However, the European release has been tied up for weeks and it’s yet…
One of the best things I did in a game this year was spend ten minutes riding an oxcart from one city to another in Dragon’s Dogma 2 because its fast travel system is so limited (intentionally) as to functionally not exist. The second best thing was turning off the wayfinding settings, quest log, and…
