Even older entries find a way. It is hard to imagine a better fit for a real-time-strategy simulator than Jurassic Park. At some point, while watching the films, everyone has thought about how much better they could run the parks than John Hammond, InGen, or any of the other mega corporations that repeat the same…
“It’s faster to hide them than to erase them from memory”. A short while back, we spent a year attempting to find out who actually created the logo for Sega’s Dreamcast console. However, today, we’re showing you a slightly different take on its creation – as in, how it is literally rendered every time you…
Love-de-Lic’s ‘UFO’ is also coming to Console Archives. Konami’s military-themed events game, Combat School (also known as Boot Camp in the States), has been unveiled as this week’s Arcade Archives release. So, if your idea of fun is arm wrestling matches, iron man races, trips to the firing range, or getting yelled at by a…
World of Warcraft calling curtains on combat-based UI mods (AddOns) has been a bit of a mixed bag—while I’m personally more than fine having a class I don’t need constant auditory pings and klaxons to play, there have been some missing functionalities and hiccups along the way. One element of this is, at least, somewhat…
It’s already gone on Switch. Strategy-based RPG Star Trek: Legends is to be delisted from all digital storefronts from 20th August 2026. However, those on Switch might notice that the game has already beamed its way off the eShop, so you’re no longer able to purchase it. Announced via a community post on Steam (thanks,…
“Enter the vector battlefield…”. We’ve known since late last year that Numskull Design were planning to turn Atari’s revolutionary “3D” arcade cabinet, Battlezone, into a 1/4-scale machine as part of its Quarter Arcades series. However, something that almost completely slipped past us was that pre-orders actually open up later this week, on August 7th, 2026….
During my exclusive hands-on with Onimusha: Way of the Sword at Capcom’s HQ in Osaka, I sat down with the game’s audio director, Shunichi Suwa, to talk about how the music, environmental and character audio, as well as weapon sound effects were designed. And, for a game that has a huge focus on duelling with…
Time to get excited. Japanese “collaborative fashion” company SuperGroupies has produced a trio of watches based on classic Sega hardware (thanks, Famitsu). The line includes watches inspired by the Mega Drive, Saturn and Dreamcast, with each model boasting a design that replicates elements of its respective console’s controller. The packaging is also designed to mimic…
Though I write a fair amount about AI agents, I do not use them. This is because agentic AI applications often introduce a more than medium-sized headache in terms of cybersecurity. For instance, one security research recently explained how a Word Doc could be leveraged to get Copilot to spread an AI worm. AI researcher…
“We’re excited to support the company”. Electronic Arts has announced that it has now been fully acquired by Saudi Arabia’s PIF (Public Investment Fund), Silver Lake, and Affinity Partners (known collectively as the ‘Consortium’) following regulatory approvals in July. Previously announced to be in the works in September 2025, this means that EA is now…
