Square Enix has suspended its housing demolition process in Final Fantasy 14, following an earthquake in the Noto Peninsula of Japan on New Year’s Day. The 7.6 magnitude earthquake has left thousands without power or shelter. The scale of the disaster is not yet clear, although the BBC reports at least 80 confirmed deaths. Due…
The best of both worlds. Optical drives are often the first thing to fail on retro consoles, which is why so many people choose to swap out their disc drives for an Optical Disc Emulator – effectively, a device which replaces the drive and allows you to load games from solid-state media. We’ve seen the…
Razer’s kicking off the new year in style with two world’s firsts when it comes to gaming laptops. In a collab with Samsung, its new Blade laptops are going to sport two new panels, a 16-inch 240Hz OLED and an 18-inch 165Hz 4K LCD. The full details of Razer’s new 2024 Blade gaming laptop lineup…
This week, I discovered a TikToker deliberately developing the worst game of all time—complete with impossible platforming, unskippable dialogue, and a rocket launcher that has to be reloaded 150 times between each shot.

It’s also not getting any smaller, developer RGG said, and during the hands-on preview session I…
Which of Sony’s anti-grav racers is best? While many people associate Ridge Racer or Tekken with the early years of PlayStation, for others, it’s WipEout that really sums up the incredible impact Sony’s 32-bit console had on the gaming landscape. Not only did this 1995 racer represent the pinnacle of home gaming technology with its…
Yakuza is a storied franchise that keeps on giving. Each installment in the series leading to 2020’s Yakuza: Like a Dragon has offered something new and innovative, along with consistently satisfying expansions to the evergrowing story of main characters Kazuma Kiryu and Ichiban Kasuga. I’m glad to say that after a hands-on preview of Like…
Ever since it first warped onto the scene, Star Citizen has been infamous for its rapacious monetisation. The game’s development seems never-ending but, long before you could play it in any form, Roberts Space Industries would sell you all sorts of space-things: Like this mine-laying ship that cost over $600 before mine-laying was even a…
Goemon! Snake! Pyramid Head! And More!
