In procuring any new piece of tech, my first question has always been “Can it run DOOM?” It’s a query that becomes all the more far-fetched as the game storms through its countless evolutions away from the initial mishmash of bloody pixels on a CRT TV. Thankfully, GPUs are keeping up with the current graphical…
Assassin’s Creed Shadows released 56 years ago: last March, and since then has kind of slipped out of the discourse as hype cycles for new games have been born, ripened, and died. But it keeps trundling on, getting patch after patch after content update after content update, and today marks the game’s 1.0.6 patch. Which…
Nintendo’s new handheld is certainly a smash hit. But one of the less impressive aspects of the Switch 2 is its 7.9-inch IPS display. Reddit has been alight with complaints concerning the speed of the display, with owners bemoaning the blurring and smearing of games. Now the results from independent testing are in and they’re…
It seems like yesterday that I was talking to Cloudflare about DDoS attacks, the sheer number of nefarious attacks the company deals with on a daily basis, and how things seem to be getting worse, but it was actually back in May. Not long after our chat, though, something happened that confirmed what we were…
Just like the first game. Nintendo Pictures, a Nintendo-owned subsidiary specialising in the production of “visual content”, has been revealed to have worked on the new PS5 title Death Stranding 2: On The Beach. As covered by VGC, the company can be spotted in the credits for the game and specifically helped out on motion…
‘Rockman The Puzzle Battle’ & ‘Galaga Kai’. It seems like it’s pretty much every other day now that the Japanese feature phone preservation community shares an exciting new announcement about a previously lost games being discovered and dumped online. Earlier this week, for instance, we published a short article about a rare Lost In Blue…
It’s coming up to a month since Elden Ring Nightreign was released, and as players begin to get more comfortable with all the existing Nightlords, FromSoftware has begun to release Everdark versions of the bosses—suped-up atrocities which have a third phase. First, there was Gaping Jaw, with the Everdark version having swirling tornados, more purple…
Baldur’s Gate 3 was one of the best RPGs of the decade when it came out—and that accolade was only polished and shined in the ensuing months as Larian added patches to stitch up its wobbly ending. The biggest of these is, naturally, the epilogue—but there were a couple of minor additions before Patch 5,…
Each different biome in Peak presents its own unique threats to your climb, and unfortunately ticks are one of the things you’ll have to deal with once you’re in the tropics biome. When you know what to do, they are easy enough to deal with, especially compared to the rest of the hidden dangers waiting…
The thing you should know about me is: I love a ticker. A little breaking news ticker beneath an interview chyron? Incredible. Stock prices in bold greens and angry reds on the outside of an important building that’s probably in New York? Amazing. I’ve been known to stare at the weather updates in my taskbar…
