I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: No game that actually exists can ever measure up to the games that got killed before they were released. Prey 2? Fallout Van Buren? Neither came out, so they get to exist in the realm of imagination forever, perfect and beautiful. The most recent king of…
I’ll be honest—I haven’t experienced many 2.4 GHz wireless connection issues running multiple devices at once. Still, it seems inevitable that in our tech-filled homes, this particular wireless band is eventually going to become saturated and disconnection problems will become more frequent. Two of our hardware team have had such issues, so they’ll be particularly…
Borderlands 4 is on the horizon, but if your trigger-finger’s itchy, you might do some shooting and/or looting beforehand—and while I had plenty of fun with Borderlands 3, I wouldn’t recommend its base game without a huge asterisk. That huge asterisk being, “this story’s kinda insufferable and it’ll be buzzing in your ear throughout the…
Microsoft and the software reseller ValueLicensing have been going at each other for a while now, but the outcome of the latest trial that’s starting up in the UK could have real ramifications on the second-hand software market.

The clever thing about Flask is that it’s a game about weird magical potions, and it also looks like the hallucinations you’d have if you drank one. Just announced for a 2026 release, the game brings together elements of roguelikes and autobattlers with a brilliantly weird, gross visual style created by artist John Kenn Mortensen….
This is a review that should have appeared at least two months ago, as I’ve had a Naya Create ergonomic keyboard on my desk since the end of June. However, for reasons that will become clear shortly, the journey between first opening the box and the publication of this review has been faltering and difficult….
The games industry’s Tunguska event—that is Grand Theft Auto 6—is due out in a mere seven months, three weeks, and from what I can gather, every dev who isn’t Rockstar is anticipating it like regular people would anticipate the opening of the seventh seal. But for you and me? A big videogame is coming! Isn’t…
Rolling start! Shinobi: Art of Vengeance recently hit modern-day systems and is an excellent update of Sega’s legendary ninja-based action series. Developed by Sega and French studio Lizardcube, the game is a 2D action platformer which places franchise protagonist Joe Musashi very much in the spotlight – although he remains relatively mute throughout the adventure,…
