Big DK energy. Even though it confirmed my suspicions, the reveal that Donkey Kong Bananza was coming to us from the team behind Super Mario Odyssey couldn’t help but strike a little bit of fear into my heart. We know that the group within Nintendo EPD is a talented bunch, but how was I ever…
I don’t like change. When I first heard that Mojang decided to end the yearly summer Minecraft updates and do away with the controversial mob vote, my initial reaction was to deny it was even happening. Then, when my friends told me that this was our new lived reality, I got angry. I tried bargaining…
In 1998, Trespasser: Jurassic Park: The Lost World revolutionised gaming forever by slapping a health bar tattoo on the protagonist’s boobs, forcing you to stare down at her cleavage in order to discern how close to death you were. Videogames have been too cowardly to ascend to such heights since—limiting their powers to some visible…

When testing MSI’s QD-OLED monitors, such as the new MSI MPG 322URX, we’ve generally come away impressed, especially by the HDR performance. One catch has been that the two HDR modes those displays offer both come with clear compromises. But perhaps no longer, thanks to a new HDR mode MSI is releasing as an update….

The rest is relatively straightforward—you Matterspark and fight your way through the Aionian Campus, and get introduced to the Uplifted Choral Minotaurs; enemies you have to defeat to…
A team of researchers led by the (take a deep breath) Photonic Network Laboratory at the National Institute of Information and Communication Technology in Japan has announced a successful test of the world’s first successful petabit-class internet transmission over 1,000 km.
