10 years on from its original release, The Witcher 3 still casts a shadow as enormous as its sprawling world. At the time, it felt like an unbeatable, landmark achievement for the genre. Sure enough, though RPGs have flourished in the decade since, I don’t think anyone has yet matched its combination of rich and…
So THAT was the Imprisoning War… The latest entry in Nintendo’s ‘Creator’s Voice’ Switch 2 series is here, and this week we’re taking a deep dive into Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment. Koei Tecmo’s Ryota Matsushita and Yosuke Hayashi shine the light on the studio’s upcoming fighter, promising that the game will not only “depict…
A Lara Lara laughs. The second Tomb Raider Collection for Evercade only includes two games—Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation (1999) And Tomb Raider: Chronicles (2000)—which compares unfavourably to the first pack, which shipped with three full titles. However, there’s certainly no denying that both are excellent 3D action adventures packed with challenging puzzles, addictive combat…
There’s plenty of loot squirrelled away in nooks and crannies all over Elden Ring. Searching around cliff edges, down caves, or just around the outskirts of the map can get you new daggers, shields, and even the much-loved cookbooks, which are definitely worth all the effort it takes to find them. But one item has…
ASRock is claiming a “first” with its new PG27QFW2A gaming monitor, which we’ve just spotted on the show floor at Computex. The novelty in question is its 400 Hz refresh. If you’re thinking that we’ve seen 480 Hz before, even 500 Hz and 600 Hz-plus, you’re right. But not specifically 400 Hz from an IPS…
Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. the Soulless Army released exclusively for PlayStation 2 in 2006 and, ever since then, has been left for dead there. It’s an oddity in the Megami Tensei universe, and wasn’t particularly well-received upon release. But given the way tastes have shifted, and given the nowadays mainstream success of the Persona…
When it comes to the world of PC gaming, a new SSD controller chip is unlikely to garner many headlines, as it’s normally the solid state drives they’re used in that are more newsworthy. But at this year’s Computex event, SSD specialist Phison announced a new controller that is faster and more power efficient than…
This is not a cheap case. Not by any stretch of the imagination. At $290 for this particular variant, it’s verging on the absurd. To the point that even the most enthusiastic of system builders might find it hard to justify this thing in their cart. But NZXT believes it’s worth it. It believes you’re…
Room service. Hotel Dusk: Room 215 has racked up quite the cult following over the years. This Nintendo-published text-based adventure first arrived on the DS back in 2007 and received a sequel, Last Window: The Secret of Cape West, three years later before developer Cing bit the dust after declaring for bankruptcy. Things have, naturally,…
“It was my first time learning about 3D motion sickness”. Given that Yuji Naka’s star has fallen slightly in recent years thanks to his conviction for insider trading, it’s easy to forget that, at one time, he was one of Sega’s most valuable developers. Even before he helped bring Sonic the Hedgehog to the world,…
