Haemimont Games has spent the last 25 years knocking out an impressive list of strategy and management romps, including corkers like Tropico 3-5, Surviving Mars and Jagged Alliance 3. It’s had a pretty great run, and now it’s the latest feather in publisher Paradox Interactive’s cap, which just snatched the studio up. Announced today, Paradox…
The name’s Turbo. Johnny Turbo. Ask any “boomer shooter” aficionado what their favourite modern examples of the genre are, and Trigger Happy Interactive’s sublime Turbo Overkill will most likely make the top three, alongside Dusk and Ultrakill, if they want to be our actual pals. Yep, this is a highly-regarded retro-style FPS and, once you’ve…
Nvidia RTX 50-series cards are about as ephemeral as Casper the ridiculously expensive ghost right now, with stocks having dipped to nigh-on zero within a few minutes of launching last week. One might even say they’re as rare as gold. So, Asus says, how about we add some more rarity to your rare so you…
More grim figures emerge. Bandai Namco Studios has reportedly reduced its staff by more than 100 people within the last year, as reported by Automaton. The studio, known for Switch games such as New Pokémon Snap, Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum ‘n’ Fun!, and the upcoming Pac-Man title Shadow Labyrinth, had stated in a company overview…
Oh, and we now have a release date too! More information about the upcoming Metal Gear Solid 3 remake Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater has leaked online, due to a release date trailer accidentally being uploaded early to the PlayStation Network (h/t: Wario64). The new trailer revealed the news that the game will be…
Not two days ago I came to you with the befuddling news that ZA/UM—the studio whose name is still on Disco Elysium even though the game’s chief creative talent have all left—was selling a $165 carrier bag based on the one you can get in the game. This was confusing to me, conceptually. I wasn’t…
For years, we PC gamers have had it easy. No, really. Not quite as easy as console users, perhaps, but we could be reasonably sure that any software we tried to run was written for the processor architecture inside our box. And that’s because there was only one: x86, as championed by Intel and AMD….
It’s 2025 and somehow we’ve still yet to see a Twitch stream happening from space—until next week, that is. NASA has announced it’ll be doing a livestream a whole 250 miles from Earth aboard the International Space Station, on Wednesday 12 February. The stream will be happening on the official NASA Twitch and is set…
Let me set the scene for you: there I am, lounging around while playing the office Steam Deck when suddenly it happens. Maybe my replay of 1000xResist has shocked me anew, or maybe there’s just something in my eye, but my grip on Valve’s handheld loosens for just a moment and before I know it—WHAM!…
As much as is it displeases me that every week seems to be ‘let’s rag on Intel’ week, it’s hard not to keep bringing up the company’s utter failure to bring its manufacturing up to scratch when big dogs like Bill Gates keep talking about it. At least Gates isn’t ragging—he’s offering a sombre lament….
