I’m talking about your default, go-to game that sucks you in for hours and suddenly the day is gone. Mine has got to be Final Fantasy 14, so if you ever desperately need to get in touch with me and don’t know how, I’m probably on a losing streak in FF14’s ranked PvP queue. (Image…
I feel like I’ve spent several lifetimes crouch walking around to be sneaky in videogames. It’s the default way of saying “stealth mode.” Even the mighty Metal Gear series, which originally only had upright running or belly crawling, eventually bent the knee—both of them, in fact. Haven you ever tried crouch walking? Like, in real…
A game has two launch dates: The first time it’s available for the general public to play, and the first time somebody puts Goku in it. (For Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered, the latter was September 3, 2022, thanks to this mod from Nexus Mods user emribilemir.) (Image credit: PlayStation Publishing)
Space Warlord Baby Trading Simulator is my most-played game over the last month, a simple “line go up” game where you buy, sell, and short against the predicted events of an alien baby’s life.

Cancellation/exchange programme open. Retroid found itself in hot water this weekend as the hardware manufacturer revealed a new, upgraded edition of its Pocket Duo Lite handheld console just weeks after opening pre-orders on its original model. Revealed on Sunday, the Pocket Duo Lite+ features the same dual-screen external build as the Pocket Duo Lite –…
Until now, every OLED gaming monitor we’ve reviewed has been rated at 0.03 ms for pixel response. Well, not any more ladies and germs. Give it up for the new Sony Inzone M10S II, which clocks in at a mere 0.02 ms. Is it a bit of a stretch to think the human eye can…
Ever heard of Mirklurk: Every Step Matters? Nope, me neither. That is, until a video from its solo dev called “Rethinking the health bar” came across my desk. The dev in question is Mattias Myde, and he’s revolutionising this oldest of videogame building blocks by converting it from a simple resource pool into a sort…
Peak peak is back for more. I know there are like 170 games out right now, but I’m carving out some time to play the DLC pack for Cairn coming October 29. If you missed it, Cairn is the best game about climbing (and relationships) ever made, and the free On the Trail: Deep Water…
If you have a Gigabyte motherboard and use the Gigabyte Control Center (GCC) software, you’d better download the latest version of the software. While the risk of a local attacker hacking into your PC is pretty slim, it’s best practice to just cover your butt before anything bad happens. Gigabyte has listed a new vulnerability…
A deal? A succulent Switch deal? What’s this? A console doing down in price? What madness is this? Yes, in an apparent effort to shift its remaining stock in Europe, Nintendo is selling a Switch and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe bundle for a discounted price of €199.99. It’s due for release on 29th October 2026….
