Is it all Sleep Talk? Next week, on 27th February 2025, Pokémon will be celebrating its 29th birthday. And you know what that means? It’s time for some Pokémon Presents. After a relatively ‘muted’ 2024, there’s a lot on people’s minds. Inverted commas there because, come on, if muted means releasing a brand new mobile…
Unfortunately, I am cursed to almost never miss an opportunity to reference the step aerobics belter that is the Cha Cha Slide. The return of Newegg’s lottery system, Newegg Shuffle, not only heralds the imminent release of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 and RTX 5070 Ti, but also fulfils the conditions of my curse—now everybody…
With a steelbook, no less! It’s not been that long since Nightdive Studios released The Thing: Remastered, but we know many of you were holding off on adding it to your collection in the hope that it would receive a physical release. Well, your wish has been granted! Launching on 25th June 2025 (the 43rd…
Delta Force sure is a heady mix. A game from Chinese devs about the American military in a Somalian civil war, with a not-yet-released singleplayer campaign modelled after Black Hawk Down, it’s the kind of thing you might expect to have opinions. A perspective. A criticism? Anything to say at all, really, about the experience…
D&D has finally completed its initial wave of revamps with the 2024 Monster Manual—confusingly released in 2025, but I don’t make the rules—and, after a read through, I’m downright conflicted. Being a recent PF2e convert, I’ve been quite grumpy about these new books (the Player’s Handbook in particular). As a point of personal opinion, I…
It simply isn’t an RPG if you aren’t doing the good old gear shuffle every few hours, but some of the unique gear in Avowed makes the old song and dance a lot easier. Equipping unique weapons and armor and then upgrading them is pretty much always going to be a better call than blowing…
The Earthly Aegis treasure map in Avowed is perhaps the most vague riddle of them all, giving you nothing but a scruffy drawing of a ruin in a forest. Do you know how little that narrows things down, Obsidian? I wandered the forest for ages before figuring out the right ruin, and even then it…
The popularity of OLED gaming monitors is becoming a popular riff. Today, we’ve got new figures from analyst outfit Trendforce that keep the good news coming, albeit with a slightly different spin from LG’s take on the market earlier this week. Arguably the most eye-catching claim from Trendforce’s latest data dump is that the release…
The latest crossover for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Radical! Except it turns out that the cost… that’s gonna be a major bummer, dude. The TMNT content arrives as part of the Season 02 Reloaded content, and in its infinite rapaciousness Activision Blizzard has separated-out each of the…
How does it hold up? We’ve been lucky enough to go hands-on with the upcoming Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition on Switch, and as part of that, we thought it might be useful to see just how the new release stacks up next to the Wii U original. In short, the Switch remaster represents a…
