Obsidian studio design director Josh Sawyer has made, if you don’t mind my saying so, some pretty cool videogames. New Vegas is a classic, the Pillars of Eternity games are some of my favourites ever, and Pentiment is a beautiful story about history and failure that also includes the line “A whole lot of inconceivable…
That’ll be $1 bajillion, please. Despite component prices ramping up globally and consoles receiving unsavoury price hikes as a result, rumours persist of a potential PlayStation 6 in the next couple of years. Now, in a new Q&A session with Sony Interactive Entertainment president and CEO, Hideaki Nishino (thanks, IGN), it’s sounding more likely than…
Marvel Rivals’ Creator World Cup Championship took place over the weekend, and with a $300,000 prize pool on the line creators from around the world banded together to compete for first place. Team AMER United ended up winning top spot and the $75,000 that went with it, but their win has been slightly overshadowed by…
The Virtual Pinball build officially begins! In Part 1 of this series, I’m unboxing an awesome package from Cleveland Software Design filled with parts that will be used in my custom VPIN cabinet. From controller boards to wiring and other essential components, we’ll take a first look at everything that’s going into this build. Whether…

In this job, I’m used to seeing old, defunct companies come back from the dead, typically when some unrelated third party comes along and hoovers up a bunch of rights. But even I don’t really know what to make of this recent post from the publisher Empire Interactive…
We’re yet to see a single drop of gameplay footage, but I can promise you Grand Theft Auto 6 is very real and definitely happening. At least, I certainly hope it is. Rockstar opened the door for pre-orders last week with its $80 and $100 versions, the latter of which I’m not overly jazzed about….
Unless you’ve been living on another planet, orbiting a star light years away, you won’t have missed the fact that memory kits are painfully expensive right now. One of the world’s biggest manufacturers of PCs has warned that the RAMpocalypse will continue for years, but so far, makers of DRAM kits have taken a somewhat…
I’ll admit I’m not a big fighting game person. I enjoy playing the likes of Mortal Kombat casually, but I don’t get giddy for a new release. The one exception to that is Marvel TĹŤkon: Fighting Souls, which I’ve loved ever since Sony revealed it at its 2025 State of Play. Despite Sony declaring it’s…
The memory supply crisis has been raging since at least last year with no end in sight—some even predict prices will rise by as much as 50% in Q3 of 2026. Supplies are scarce and prices are high in part due to the AI industry scooping up everything it can get its many fingered hands…
“We want to revive the curious spirit of the old internet “. Wes Fenlon, the person behind the utterly superb Read Only Memo newsletter, has announced a new initiative he has created alongside Matt Sayer called Warp Point. “Warp Point is built around simple technologies like RSS with a simple premise: Helping writers connect with…
