Earnest Evans! Rumble Fish! Cassette Boy! The latest Nintendo Download update for North America arrived last week, but thanks to all the Animal Crossing update excitement, it slipped off our to-do list. Well, let’s swing back and catch up, shall we? As always, be sure to drop a vote in our poll and comment down…
Dear reader, I know I’m hardly the only one whose teenage self experienced an embarrassing weeb phase. I mean, let those who aren’t still holding on to an online handle they’re at least a little bit embarrassed about cast the first stone, but usually these things don’t just stop at one online portal—your younger self…
Last Friday, US memory company Micron broke ground on a new $100 billion multi-foundry complex in Syracuse, New York, as part of the company’s $200 billion project to expand facilities in America. Joined by various guests and politicians, the ceremony was also notable for familiar remarks made by the US commerce secretary to reporters: foreign…
Lost in memory. Team Cherry set a new genre standard with Hollow Knight. That legacy has recently been reaffirmed by the long-awaited Silksong, a release that developers and publishers alike are now clamouring to match. These are beautifully animated combat platformers, built around tight controls and striking art direction. Players explore compelling, labyrinthine spaces in…
Coming 2026. When we reviewed the TrimUI Brick back in December 2024, we were impressed with the pocket-friendly emulation-based handheld, but had a couple of minor complaints. Among them was the lack of an analogue stick, which dampened the experience somewhat of playing N64 and Sega Dreamcast games on the handheld, and the size of…
Alfie Williams, who plays Spike in both 28 Years Later and its recently released sequel, The Bone Temple, is a fan of Dead by Daylight. He said as much in an interview with IGN, where he said he plays the Xenomorph and was excited to play Springtrap. In a follow-up to that, when asked if…
Who would have thought it? Famitsu has shared its rundown of 2025’s best-selling games in Japan, and it’ll come as a surprise to no one to hear that it was yet another good year for Nintendo. You might recall that Nintendo revealed the most-downloaded eShop titles in the region at the end of last year,…

You’ll need it, alongside cindercloth scraps, to craft top-tier adamantite weapons, armour, and tools, so don’t expect to find it early on in your time in Orbis. Adamantite is a rare, mid- to end-game material, and…
Hytale‘s got truckloads of different materials that roadblock progression, requiring you to explore Orbis far and wide. Cindercloth scraps are one such example, though they’re not actually as hard to find as you might think. The main hurdle is that the area you need to reach isn’t somewhere I’d recommend you visit on a vacation—too…
Never underestimate human ingenuity. Just when you think nothing else can be discovered, someone will come out of the woodwork to show you just how wrong you are. I’ve found that this has happened a lot in Arc Raiders, as players keep surprising me with how creative they can get when killing arcs and other…
