I’ve spent the past few weeks testing the pants off of several graphics cards. Such is the life of a hardware writer. Alongside my 8 GB vs 16 GB VRAM testing, I’ve also reviewed the RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB and the RX 9060 XT 8 GB, and found them to deliver reasonable gaming performance…
Kicking off next week. We’ve known about an upcoming Sableye event in Pokémon Pokopia for a good while now (thanks to the joys of time jumping), but The Pokémon Company has today made it official. The ‘Sableye’s Gem Hunt’ event kicks off next week on 29th April at 5am and will run until 14th May…
“This truly feels like the beginning of something new”. I’m sure we’re all keenly aware that SNK and Plaion are teaming up on the Neo Geo+, a modern-day recreation of the classic AES home system from the 1990s – and it seems that the announcement has made quite an impact. In a LinkedIn post, Embracer’s…
Titanfall is one of my favourite FPS series of all time, and I’ll forever be bitter that EA canned it at its peak. It’s not Titanfall 2’s fault it was sent to the slaughter being released between Battlefield 1 and Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. Actually, that’s EA’s fault. That frustration lives on all these…
Overwatch’s new season kicked off last week, and alongside a new battle pass, hero, and a bunch of skins it came with the regular patch notes full of buffs and nerfs. I actually mentioned how, amid everything, the changes that stood out to me were Sierra’s ridiculously strong kit as well as Roadhog’s long-awaited nerf…
Intel has reported its first-quarter 2026 financial results, and they read as something of a victory lap. It wasn’t too long ago the company appeared to be down on its knees, but CEO Lip-Bu Tan, now just over a year into his posting, struck a defiant tone in the opening remarks. “Intel is now a…
World of Warcraft‘s latest patch, 12.0.5, was a bit of a doozy—flooded with bugs from small irritants to busted classes, head-scratching design decisions, and raid-scuppering glitches. Not to mention just some confusing choices, like giving my class a new ability that makes it harder for everyone to not stand in the fire. It’s been one…
Implicit Conversions joins Atari’s list of studios. Atari has made some exciting acquisitions over the last few years, including the likes of Digital Eclipse and Nightdive Studios, but it looks like it isn’t through yet. Yesterday, for instance, the company announced it was bringing another company into the Atari family: the emulation-based studio, Implicit Conversions…
In the month since Archetype Entertainment gave us our first look at its sci-fi RPG Exodus, there’s been a drip-feed of teasers showcasing gunfights, the exploration of alien worlds, stealth and a man looking out of his balcony. The main takeaway from these teasers is that, yep, this sure looks like Mass Effect. Which isn’t…
Taming the legendary Phoenix in Crimson Desert is just one of the many new features that the most recent patch added to the game. While you can capture most birds using the Sotdae of Bond item, essentially a fancy bird feeder, this flame-feathered friend requires a rougher approach. Similar to the legendary Silver Fang and…
