Rockstar founder Dan Houser talks AI. Rockstar co-founder Dan Houser has been conducting a few interviews here and there recently, and one of the topics that arises during his chats with alarming regularity is AI and its impact on both gaming and the world in general. Unlike some big-money execs in the games industry, Houser…
Monitors Unboxed has released its latest OLED monitor burn-in results. After 21 months, the YouTube channel found that their MSI QD-OLED monitor had degraded only marginally from the previous 18-month update. One other key takeaway is that OLED burn-in happens fastest in the first six months, after which further degradation seems to be more gradual….
Our hard drives get bigger, but so do the games. In 2025, we are beset by filesizes run amok. Time was, I’d consider a 30 GB game to be an unfathomable imposition on my C drive. How young and naive I was—as we speak, multiple games north of 100, even 200 GB are manspreading across…
“The magic remains in tact”. If you can believe it, we are very, very nearly at the official launch of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond. It’s a cross-generation release, but we always knew that this was going to be a big player for the Switch 2, making the most of the new hardware’s beefed-up specs to…
Baldur’s Gate 3 has become such a phenomenon since its release in August 2023 that, at least for me, it honestly feels a little difficult to remember a time when the internet didn’t vibrate with strong opinions about Astarion and Gale.

Samusings. Reviews for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond are live, including ours, although you may have noticed that it’s focused on the Switch 2 Edition, and MP4 is also launching on Switch 1. If you’re looking for impressions on the original Switch version, they are coming – please bear with us. We weren’t able to test…
The decision to embark on the Expedition and effectively wipe your account is one of the most important and divisive choices in Arc Raiders. Since launch, you’ve had to dedicate hundreds of thousands of coins’ worth of resources to building and supplying your caravan, with only a vague idea of what awaits you on the…
And Samus has a brand new voice. When Metroid Prime 4: Beyond landed with Retro Studios back in 2019, we’re not sure anybody was truly shocked by this turn of events. Retro is, after all, the original developer of the Prime series, and while many of the veteran team members have since left, the sheer…
Sy-luxurious. I’ve been waiting a long time for this. Ever since Metroid Prime 3: Corruption ended on a slight cliffhanger (provided you obtained the 100% completion rating) back in 2007, I’ve been wondering where exactly Nintendo and Retro Studios might take the series next. 18 years would follow, and that’s an awful long time to…
