While AI’s explosive growth hasn’t been good news for consumers, because it’s directly caused the global memory crisis, but it sure does keep manufacturers exceedingly busy. Case in point, TSMC has revealed profits that both blow past its original projections and smash earlier records. TSMC had previously issued guidance to its investors predicting that it…
This September will mark the tenth anniversary of AMD’s ‘legendary’ AM4 desktop processor socket, one that’s still going strong today. And if one leak is to be believed, it would seem that Team Red is planning to mark the occasion by releasing a special version of another classic: the Ryzen 7 5800X3D. Except there doesn’t…
“people forget we’re a relatively small indie team”. Yooka-Replaylee is a great reimagining of the enjoyable yet flawed 2017 original, yet for many the lack of a 60fps performance mode on Switch 2 was disappointing. Well, the good news is that it’s finally here! After months of painstaking work to optimise the game, Playtonic has…
Yooka-So-Smoothy. After its release in October 2025, Yooka-Replaylee is finally playable at 60fps on Switch 2 thanks to a new update from Playtonic Games. Many were understandably disappointed when the Switch 2 version launched with its performance capped at 30fps (heck, it was one of just two ‘cons’ in our 8/10 review), so this will…
I was awfully late to the joys of Blizzard cinematics—I once mistook a Mists of Pandaria trailer in the cinema to be a new Kung Fu Panda movie, and only really came to appreciate them with the slew of Overwatch shorts the developer pumped out in the run-up to the hero shooter’s original 2016 release….
Pragmata, a game about feeding USB sticks to a small child you’ve found on the Moon, releases in mere hours. This is good news, because—writing for the illustrious PC Gamer dot com—Justin Wagner rather liked it in his Pragmata review, scoring it 87% and declaring it “a snazzy late aughts throwback elevated by a terrific…
Out to pasture. Red Dead Redemption got a sweet Nintendo Switch 2 Edition back in December 2025, but according to a new rumour from Dealabs Magazine, it might soon be getting a ‘physical’ release. Don’t get too excited though, because it sounds like the Switch 2 version will be a ‘code-in-a-box’ monstrosity, meaning no cartridge…
There are just about a gazillion games about ninjas, but shockingly far fewer about pirates. Swashbucklers deserve more attention if you ask me, and thankfully they seem to be getting it when it comes to the new survival game Windrose. It’s managed to shift half a million copies in the first two days, according to…
I had a feeling it wouldn’t be too long for another JOTD announcement, and thus here we are with a new Arcade to Amiga port that’s been released called ‘Mappy’. A side-scrolling platformer that was developed by Namco for the Japanese market in March 1983, and published in North America by Bally Midway in April…
Every ’90s kids dream. If you were a Pokémon-obsessed kid in the ’90s, there’s a good possibility that one of your biggest dreams growing up was to have your very own working Pokédex. Despite being a work of fiction, the device always looked so cool whenever it appeared in the anime, essentially acting as a…
