If you know your noise rock from your industrial, your ambient noise from harsh noise wall, there’s a good chance you’ll enjoy the chaotic screeches of an ethernet cable plugged into a Eurorack module. If not, you might find it a little cool anyway, like I do. As spotted by Hackaday, creator Wenzellabs recently showed…
I’ve been itching to play a new Everdark Sovereign for a while now, ever since FromSoftware introduced a round-robin of old Everdarks to Elden Ring Nightreign, including Gaping Jaw, Sentient Pest, and Darkdrift Knight. I played these Everdark variants so much that fights were starting to become silly, as my teammates and I saw each…
Squad up, Switch 2 style! EA has just announced that Apex Legends will be receiving a Switch 2 upgrade next month, or rather next week, as it drops on August 5th. Hooray! Yep, as part of today’s very good/middling/awful (delete as appropriate) Partner Direct, we learned that the online squad-based shooter, which first launched all…
Introducing, Elliot. The Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase was closed out by a pair of announcements from Square Enix: Octopath Traveler 0, and an all-new action RPG called The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales. This is yet another HD-2D joint, which will see you playing as ‘Elliot, the Adventurer’ (badass name, that), who sets out…
The Future Games Show will be broadcast live from Gamescom 2025, and has now announced the hosts: no less than David Hayter, aka Solid Snake / Big Boss, and Maggie Robertson, the one-and-only Lady Dimitrescu from Resident Evil Village. The FGS is run by Future PLC, the parent company of PC Gamer. “Yes!” shouts an…
While I’m not sure about DC’s historically funny insistence on what Batman does and doesn’t do in the bedroom, one thing’s for certain—superheroes like the ones in Marvel Rivals don’t typically say slurs and chew you out for your K/DA. Alright, Frank Castle might look like he’s levelled some slightly harmful terms at my community…
Fighting Everdark Augur in Elden Ring Nightreign will be a big surprise to anyone who fought the much easier original version of the boss. Just like the previous Everdark Sovereigns, Maris is significantly harder now and hits like an absolute truck, not to mention that the boss has a whole new suite of enhanced attacks…
Kiwami 1 also getting a Switch 2 release. Kazuma Kiryu’s story will continue on Switch 2 later this year as Yakuza Kiwami 2 releases on 13th November 2025. Continuing the story on from Yakuza Kiwami — a remake of the first Yakuza game that received a Switch port last year — Kiryu will be facing…
Gabe Newell, the co-founder of Valve Corporation and billionaire yacht-fancier, recently gave an interview to YouTuber Zalkar Saliev (TikTok, IG). The full interview covers things like Newell’s daily routine (“get up, work, go scuba diving“), as well as some amusing drive-bys on conventional Silicon Valley wisdom, such as why startups chasing VC money makes no…
Zero the hero. Square Enix closed out the Partner Direct by lifting the lid on Octopath Traveler 0, the third game (confusingly) in the HD-2D RPG series, which will arrive on Switch 1 and 2 on 4th December 2025. Aside from packing in the level of stunning visuals that we would expect from the series,…
