Back to the Origins. Before Metroid Prime launched in 2002, the series had been exclusively 2D since its inception in the ’80s. Now, Nintendo is able to play in both 2D and 3D spaces, but what if you could ‘demake’ Prime to be more like the original 2D titles? That’s exactly what Lv.4 GAMES has…
Achoo! Sorry, my hayfever’s been playing up again. Let me just grab a tissue from my Steam Machine… is something you could be saying if you’re willing to 3D print the replica this generous individual over on Reddit designed and shared. The Steam Machine Style Tissue Box Cover (or ‘Enclosure’) is, practically speaking, just a…
I can think of little else cooler than flying above the streets of 17th Century Amsterdam, in the dead of night, on a broom stick, with a black cat. Looking down on the amber glow of the oil-lit streetlamps is my lasting positive memory of 1666: Amsterdam’s preview, but I can’t say I had the…
Hot on the heels of this Codex Micro/OpenAI mini keeb for AI agent monitoring is this… thing that Keychron seems to be experimenting with. Apparently it’s a tiny, three-button, wireless mini keeb with a scroll wheel, but hidden inside is a microphone that lets you talk to your AI agent as it vibe codes. Yes,…
Hello Games celebrates its 10th anniversary. No Man’s Sky, unbelievably, launched a decade ago on 9th August 2016. Though it was met with mixed reviews at the time, developer Hello Games persevered and produced over thirty major updates for the game, transforming it into an impressive experience that you can play on both Switch and…
Although I criticised the Steam Machine for its hefty price tag upon release, part of me hoped the creator community might do something interesting with it. Lo and behold, we now have the first example of a water-cooled version—and I can’t help but be impressed. The Not-so-steamy Machine (as I shall call it) is the…

I feel surprisingly emotional today. Ten years ago, on 9th August 2016, PlayStation Travellers across the universe set foot on their first alien planet in No Man’s Sky. The first words from their exosuit rang out in their helmet: “Hazard protection active”. Perhaps you were there ten years ago, or perhaps you joined later. All…
“the core bones are still the original game”. I don’t know about you, but one of my favourite memories of the Switch was the debut announcement trailer. Not only did it effortlessly communicate what the console could do, but it showcased one of the biggest games of the previous decade running on a teeny, tiny…
“I came across this at a very sad point in my life”. I don’t know about you, but whenever I order something online, the only “surprise” I typically get is a crushed spider carcass or the disappointment of discovering my items have been damaged in transit. Not — shall we say — discovering a lost…
