Last week I mentioned problems with black screening Nvidia RTX 5080s and 5090s. Now comes much more worrying news of power connector and cable melting problems with the RTX 5090. And not just any RTX 5090, but seemingly a specific and potentially serious problem with Nvidia’s own RTX 5090 Founder Edition’s board design. The investigation…
Category: Games February 11, 2025 South of Midnight Hands-on: A Gorgeous, Pull-No-Punches Fairytale Joe Skrebels, Xbox Wire Editor-in-Chief At first blush, South of Midnight could be described as a classic action-adventure: a heroine thrust from ordinary life into a remarkable journey; magical weapons and abilities; ability skill trees.

With the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 launching in the last few weeks and selling out nearly instantly, you may have to turn to an RTX 5070 Ti if you want a fancy new graphics card in your rig anytime soon and MSI may have just confirmed that it’s set to release on February 20….

The star of Data East’s BurgerTime isn’t a household name in the same way that Donkey Kong, Pac-Man and Bub & Bob are, which is a shame when you consider that the original 1982 arcade game was a truly groundbreaking release that remains eminently playable, even by modern standards.

A year ago, longtime Monster Hunter producer Ryozo Tsujimoto celebrated some major series milestones, including one very big number: 23 million. That’s how many copies of Monster Hunter: World Capcom had sold by early 2024 (including copies bundling in the game’s expansion, Iceborne). If you take a look on Capcom’s website, where it maintains a…

Monster Hunter contains multitudes. Not just multitudes of monsters, but multitudes of moods. What other game series would open with a child’s village being destroyed by a raging mythological beast, then an hour later devote five minutes to a cutscene of a roided-out chicken chasing a bunch of cats carrying a giant steak over their…
It hurt itself in its confusion. GAME staff have accused the UK retailer of “scalping” Pokémon cards after the company began hitching massive shipping costs to the online sale of ‘Prismatic Evolutions’ mini tins (thanks, Eurogamer).
