The year 2000. An odd time to look back on, in which everyone wore silver clothes and the air was thick with 5/10 Eric Cartman impressions. And an especially hilarious time to look back on in the world of PC gaming, firstly because of how much things have changed, and secondly because of how little…
Tamagotchi Plaza! Ruffy and the Riverside! Locomoto! Yes, it’s back! The latest Nintendo Download update for North America has arrived, delivering a host of new games to the eShop in North America. No, we didn’t forget about it over the past few weeks, it’s just a little thing called the Switch 2 has kept us…
The god game is a strange, beloved, and deeply PC niche. It’s torn between the tensions of being a strategy game and a world simulator. Demiurgos, the next game from the developers of Martian terraforming sim Per Aspera, is revisiting playing god with a mix of old and new ideas that—after a few hours with…
RuneScape hasn’t had the best month—but Jagex seems keen to start walking some of that bad PR back in a bombshell video, one that promises to completely overhaul RuneScape 3’s microtransactions (MTX). “Our MTX approach is harming RuneScape, and it’s time we took action,” announces Jagex CEO Jon Bellamy, who you might remember squirming after…
I’ve mentioned more than once how the thought of mounting e-waste keeps me up at night. Adding to the anxious no-slumber party is the fact that, to extract the gold necessary for the manufacture of a whole bunch of PC hardware, typical mining practices often use environmentally damaging amounts of cyanide and mercury. However, a…
25 games, ranked by you. While Switch 2’s software lineup at launch was filled with various known quantities, the breadth and quality of the games featured at the system’s 5th June debut made for a very strong offering – perhaps one of the best of any console launch ever. We’ve done our best since the…
When Diablo Immortal was released in 2022, it was hard to look past its egregious monetization. I even wrote at the time that it was “a game designed to exploit your love of Diablo,” and in many ways it still is. Half of the game is still a gaping chasm of menus and daily bonuses…

Here comes the science bit… Now, we already know that the ability to use ray tracing is built into the Switch 2 console, baked into its very fibre, as an entirely untechnical person might say. However, we’ve yet to be presented with any examples of it in action on the new machine just yet. Well,…
There’s a hubris to reviewing a unanimous classic decades after the fact—this mostly applies to guys on YouTube not named Mandalore. Yeah buddy, sure, you’ve got something to say about Earthbound that nobody cottoned on to before. You really couldn’t have said it in less than five hours? Thank god, then, that I’m not charged…
