It’s an exciting time of year for us PC hardware folk. We have Computex fast approaching and with it surely a bazillion different product announcements. Probably most exciting of all, though, are upcoming entry-level GPUs. So it’s a cruel, cruel joke (or misunderstanding) that Intel is making here if an Arc B770 graphics card doesn’t…
We speak to Zork designer Dave Lebling about his most “disappointing” adventure. In 2024, FX released Shōgun, a new 10-episode miniseries starring Hiroyuki Sanada and Cosmo Jarvis, based on the 1975 historical novel by James Clavell.

Just what secrets are those funky chunky machines hiding in that bulky form factor? Well, if you’re a certain sort of sicko (like me) with deep pockets (unlike me), a custom motherboard bundle…
Chip shortage. Yes, you read that headline correctly. Cookie Clicker, the infamous idle game about clicking a cookie, is coming to Switch, fresh out of the oven, on 22nd May.

Phoning it in. While it wasn’t as successful as Sony (then known as Sony Ericsson) hoped, the Xperia Play made one heck of a splash when it was first announced.
