Almost four months after AMD first announced the details of its budget-orientated B850/840 chipset, the first motherboards to sport them have finally arrived. The first one to pass through our magnifying glass of inspection is the Asus ROG Strix B850-F Gaming WiFi—an ATX-sized model that probably best represents the higher end of the B850 range….
As of last year, The Sims 4 team committed itself to going back and working on big lists of outstanding issues with the game (which it has been making good on) but an equally big bug in the system is EA’s communication to players—or the lack thereof. I don’t really think that much is going…
Is it Big Gator Game now? Playtonic Friends and MegaWobble have announced a surprise expansion to one of the cutest hidden gems of 2022, Lil Gator Game. In The Dark promises to be a “huge” expansion, introducing new characters and doubling the size of the base game. The original was a breezy affair, but we’re…
True 3D movement in 16-bit games? It almost happened… If you’re old enough to remember the crazy video game accessories we were exposed to in the early ’90s, then you might just recall a curious controller by the name of the Triax Turbo Touch 360.

Fortune’s Run launched into Steam early access in September 2023, and quickly became a favourite on the PCG team. The game is like an immersive sim on fast-forward, with lightning fast melee combat, deep stealth mechanics, and immaculate dystopian vibes. Unfortunately, as good as it is, development is now “imploding.” The game was a two…
I do love me some 8BitDo. I’ve found myself returning to the Pro 2 for years now, thanks to its stellar build quality. Given this, I was pretty sure I wouldn’t be massively disappointed by its recent Ultimate 2C controller, and in this regard I was thankfully correct. No, I haven’t been massively disappointed by…
PDF Software. Your eyes are not deceiving you, reader — the hugely influential FPS DOOM is now fully playable inside a PDF file. Did anyone ask for this? Probably. And it’s a pretty impressive feat. Reported on by IGN (via Push Square), a high-school student known as ading2210 on github has ported DOOM into a…
Is it a robot? Is it a butterfly? No, it’s a chair. Arguably, the best design goes unnoticed, but the X-Air Pro from AndaSeat refuses to sit without fanfare.
