RuneScape hasn’t had the best month—but Jagex seems keen to start walking some of that bad PR back in a bombshell video, one that promises to completely overhaul RuneScape 3’s microtransactions (MTX). “Our MTX approach is harming RuneScape, and it’s time we took action,” announces Jagex CEO Jon Bellamy, who you might remember squirming after…
I’ve mentioned more than once how the thought of mounting e-waste keeps me up at night. Adding to the anxious no-slumber party is the fact that, to extract the gold necessary for the manufacture of a whole bunch of PC hardware, typical mining practices often use environmentally damaging amounts of cyanide and mercury. However, a…
25 games, ranked by you. While Switch 2’s software lineup at launch was filled with various known quantities, the breadth and quality of the games featured at the system’s 5th June debut made for a very strong offering – perhaps one of the best of any console launch ever. We’ve done our best since the…
When Diablo Immortal was released in 2022, it was hard to look past its egregious monetization. I even wrote at the time that it was “a game designed to exploit your love of Diablo,” and in many ways it still is. Half of the game is still a gaping chasm of menus and daily bonuses…

Here comes the science bit… Now, we already know that the ability to use ray tracing is built into the Switch 2 console, baked into its very fibre, as an entirely untechnical person might say. However, we’ve yet to be presented with any examples of it in action on the new machine just yet. Well,…
There’s a hubris to reviewing a unanimous classic decades after the fact—this mostly applies to guys on YouTube not named Mandalore. Yeah buddy, sure, you’ve got something to say about Earthbound that nobody cottoned on to before. You really couldn’t have said it in less than five hours? Thank god, then, that I’m not charged…
This week has been a weird one for AI copyright lawsuits. Antrophic just won a suit to use copyrighted content, but pirating that content first is indeed illegal. Meta, similarly, won a case for its use of copyrighted content, but once again, there’s a big asterisk. As reported by TechCrunch, Meta won its case against…
With 58 days to go! We’ve been following the G’AIM’E light gun for a while now, and with good reason—it promises to bring old-school light gun action to modern-day TVs via the “magic” of AI, and even has the backing of Bandai Namco. Created by Japanese peripheral maker Tassei Denki, the G’AIM’E uses “bespoke technology…
Peak is the wonderful offspring of developers Landfall and Aggro Crab best known for Content Warning and Another Crab’s Treasure respectively. It all started as a mere Jam game that was made as a way to recover from burnout but quickly snowballed into something huge as it sold one million copies in six days, and…
