One of the Switch 2’s biggest innovations is ‘Discord but worse’
There’s a reason Discord is the default chat app when you want to play games with friends. It’s easy to set up, latency is low, audio quality is often excellent, and oh yea, it’s free. Say what you will about its occasionally irritating updates, ad-shaped “quests”, and its overuse as a replacement for traditional forums…
After months of silence, Bungie fires up the Marathon social media machine to tease… well, something
Remember Marathon? No, not that Marathon, although props for making the throwback connection. I mean the extraction shooter reboot announced in 2023, that we’ve heard practically nothing about since. Well, we may be about to hear more, and possibly quite soon. After months of silence following a message from game director Joe Ziegler, who reassured…
Schedule 1 dealers: the best customers and products to pair with each supplier
You can’t build a drug empire on your own in Schedule 1, and that’s where dealers come into play.

Preview: Hands-On: Finally, Super Mario Party Jamboree Let’s Me Scream At Bowser
Say it loud. We were completely amused at the reveal of the Switch 2 Camera. It felt like a very Nintendo thing to couple with the new GameChat button on the Switch 2 Joy-Con, but also something that’s 20 years too late. The EyeToy and Kinect have been and gone over the past two decades…
Hands On: Should ‘Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour’ Be A Pack-In Game?
Tech tours. Nintendo is no stranger to the concept of a launch day pack-in game. The Wii famously included Wii Sports, the DS came with an impressive demo of Metroid Prime Hunters, and even the Game Boy was bundled with Tetris in North America, forever changing the market. Which is why we’re all puzzled as…
Based on Capcom’s spotty patch history, you might want to back up your Monster Hunter Wilds save before Title Update 1 hits
At time of writing, we’re roughly seven hours out from the arrival of the first title update for Monster Hunter Wilds, which brings returning leviathan Mizutsune, repeatable Zoh Shia hunts, and a brand new Grand Hub for hunters to call home. A new title update is an exciting time for any hunter, but unfortunately it’s…
Switch 2’s Jump From OLED To LCD Wasn’t A Decision Nintendo Took Lightly
“There’s a lot of advancements that have been made”. Months of rumours and leaks meant that yesterday’s announcement that Nintendo Switch 2 will come with an LCD screen wasn’t all that big of a surprise. We had been preparing to say goodbye to the OLED for a while now, but Nintendo is keen to point…
‘Thick thighs save lives’: Marvel Rivals players are desperate for Emma Frost to crush them between her thunderous gams when season 2 goes live
Emma Frost, known in the workplace as the White Queen, is coming to Marvel Rivals in season 2, entitled Hellfire Gala, which is set to begin on April 11. Initial reaction to the new character seems largely positive, not so much because of her abilities (which we don’t know much about yet), but because an…
