There’s no doubt that Ion Storm, the studio set up by John Romero and Tom Hall, had its fair share of disappointments when active, the most notable being the high-profile FPS flop Daikatana. But Ion Storm was also the studio that developed the original Deus Ex, one of PC gaming’s most iconic and groundbreaking games….
Warhammer: Vermintide 2 is getting a versus mode, as announced four years ago at our very own PC Gaming show, no less. Except it’s for real this time. A steam post by Fatshark outlines their mission statements for the mode’s closed beta test on Steam. “This isn’t the first time we’ve announced Versus; and our…
Last year saw the emergence of a new memory module standard called CAMM2, a flat alternative to the SO-DIMM sticks used widely in laptops today. The benefits of CAMM are clear: they’re thinner than SO-DIMM but just as replaceable. That means we should start seeing the memory module emerge in laptops at some point in…
The obscure Japanese console was released all the way back in 1983. The preservationist website Gaming Alexandria has announced that it has managed to scan, dump, and preserve every game that was released for the Gakken Compact Vision TV Boy — an obscure game console that was released by the educational toy company/publisher Gakken. The…
Another chance. Our first big Switch exclusive of 2024 arrives nice and early and, rather than assuming the form of one of Nintendo’s bigger franchises — we got Fire Emblem Engage this time last year — we are instead winding the clock back to 2005 and 2009 respectively, to dive into swish remakes of a…
Now available in purple, too. We reviewed the superb 8BitDo 2.4G Ultimate Controller a while back and found it to be one of the best options on the market if you’re looking for a low-latency pad for your gaming systems (which includes Switch, although 8BitDo doesn’t do a good job of advertising that fact). The…
Its creator hopes to license the game properly for a physical release. A fanmade port of Epyx’s 1984 classic Impossible Mission is currently in the works for the Atari Lynx, as recently spotted by Atari Scene News. The port is the work of the coder Nop90, who uploaded a four-minute video of a prototype to…
Seems to be exclusive to the southern hemisphere at present. Fashion retailer ZARA is doing a fantastic line of Sega-related merch these days, with the Saturn and Master System already getting super-fancy cross-body bags. We’ve now gotten word that a Dreamcast variant is available – but sadly, it seems to be exclusive to the south…
Formerly known as LaunchShop. Nintendo switched off the Wii eShop in 2019, removing access to many titles which were exclusive to the console. It was only a matter of time before the community stepped in to restore this aspect of the machine, and we can now report that RiiShop – a replacement Wii eShop –…
As 2024 begins, it’s time to find out what Xbox has in store for us this year. Now with even more studio acquisitions than before, the Xbox Developer Direct is getting pretty packed. Xbox has confirmed that we’ll be hearing from Obsidian, Machine Games, Oxide Studios, and Ninja Theory. Blizzard isn’t getting into the mix…
