“We are incredibly proud of the work being done”. Three years ago, Romero Games – the studio founded by former id Software legend and co-creator of DOOM John Romero – announced that it was working on a brand-new FPS title. Sadly, that project has now been cancelled thanks to Microsoft’s recent cost-cutting exercises (it was…
If you’re hearing weird sounds from your fans or you’re noticing higher than usual CPU temps, it’s probably time to get new fans. Or a whole new liquid cooler, but we’re looking at the cheaper option of the two here today. I’ve just wrapped up testing a new fan design from well-known cooling company Arctic,…
Motherboards aren’t usually the first component that comes to mind when I think of what really wows me in the visual department. But I’ll be damned if the ASRock B860 Steel Legend Wi-Fi doesn’t hit me square in the aesthetics cortex (right next to the amygdala), and I’ll be even more damned if I don’t…
A Metroidvania with claws. Chronicles of the Wolf is a tough game to review. A decade or so ago, 2D Metroidvanias were rarer, but they now represent one of gaming’s most enduring and best-developed genres. But how do I assess a production like this that purposefully ignores many of the design changes that made the…
The future is now (in your hand). Blaze’s HyperMegaTech brand has been pumping out Super Pocket handhelds for a while now, working with companies like Taito, Atari, Capcom and Technos to deliver budget-friendly and super-portable ways of leveraging the massive Evercade library. However, it’s fair to say that the Super Pocket Neo Geo Edition is…
Choosing a Mecha Break faction is a slightly perplexing affair—the mech-based battler offers you ten different options to choose from, each highlighted alongside a specific character. The problem is it gives you zero indication of what the difference is or whether it even matters, stumping you before you’ve even picked a pilot. If you’ve just…
“My Psycho Power knows no limits!”. Legendary’s Street Fighter movie has reportedly cast another iconic character, with Deadline reporting that the film has brought on board David Dastmalchian to play the power-mad dictator M. Bison in the upcoming film. Dastmalchian is probably best known for his role as Abner Krill / Polka Dot Man in…
Chances are that, unless you happened to read my personal GOTY pick from 2023 or just have generally excellent taste in videogames, you’re not too familiar with Stonks-9800 (which you can find on Steam). That’s a shame, because the early access stock-trading sim set in the salad days of ’80s Japan is an absolute banger—oozing…
Piloting massive tank-like mechs or nimble fighter jets is a blast by yourself in Mecha Break, but it’s always more fun sharing the chaos with others. Despite it being a fully multiplayer game, Mecha Break doesn’t actually make it easy to figure out how to play with friends. Adding and inviting friends to your lobby…
Yes, up, not down. Nintendo of Canada recently announced that it would be raising the price of pretty much all of its products and services excluding the Switch 2, with more concrete details to follow on 1st August 2025.
