Maybe it’s time to ask Santa for MicroSD Express cards. Storage-hungry consumers in Japan have been jumping on available stocks of super-fast MicroSD cards as an ongoing memory shortage continues across the computer industry, with no signs of getting better in the immediate future. As reported by Tom’s Hardware, a spiralling issue of rising costs…
“We named him War Machine and got permission from Marvel”. It’s been particularly pleasing to see Capcom and Marvel hook up again in recent years, as I was a massive fan of the many superb one-on-one fighters the pair collaborated on in the ’90s.

So far we’ve been thoroughly spoiled in Two Point Museum, treated with an abundance of free updates—from staff memorials to the ever-expanding Digiverse expedition map—and its first major paid DLC Fantasy Finds. Having recently completed Fantasy Finds, I was impressed at the sheer breadth of content and the incorporation of light RPG mechanics that let…

We’ve seen a flurry of decompilation projects recently, many of which are focused on pulling apart classic N64 titles so they can be natively recompiled for rival systems. Star Fox 64 and Mario Kart 64 have both been ported to other platforms, for example, but this…

All products associated with the Chromatic, whether it be the unit itself, games or accessories, are marked down 15%. There are currently 19 games available for sale on the ModRetro store, seven of…
Modern game systems load games almost instantaneously, it seems. In general, most mobile games are at your fingertips with minimal loading time, while larger PC and console games may take 30 seconds to load their data into memory. Our expectations, as modern gamers, are that we shouldn’t have to wait more than a minute to…
Confirmed best PC game Baldur’s Gate 3 brought CRPG stylings back into the spotlight, and more than that, proved the enduring appeal of an exceptionally reactive, player-driven story with emergent narratives and shenanigans aplenty. But while the game’s success was “an inspiration” according to CD Projekt’s joint CEO Michał Nowakowski, it’s not necessarily the direction…
