(And the legacy of gaming’s weirdest box art). For video game fans of a certain age, Matthew Smith needs no introduction. The British-born bedroom programmer tore up the early days of the ZX Spectrum with a series of wild, compelling, and somewhat anarchic titles, games which were emboldened with working-class spirit and emblazoned with some…
My God, they’ve done it. We’re finally in the era when videogame movies can actually be good. Not just good for a videogame movie, or “It’s good, but here are 50 caveats.” It’s simply brilliant. And Resi’s lovably feckless protagonist Bryan is the primary reason. But before I dive in, I need to warn you…

“They even made this awesome version just for me”. Sonic Team Creative Director Kazuyuki Hoshino might be most famous for guiding the Blue Blur’s trajectory today, but he’s been with Sega since 1991, and one of his first projects was working on the Mega CD / Sega CD add-on for the Mega Drive / Genesis….
Blurred lines. Bethesda recently released an update for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered for the Switch 2, adding in a bunch of fixes for numerous crashes and other weird little glitches. The problem, however, is that the update seems to have made the visuals noticeably worse. Reports starting trickling in on Reddit, with users…
A’vast world awaits you! It’s been a long time since we last covered Ice Goat Games’ Game Boy-inspired pirate indie game Draco and the Seven Scales — almost three years, in fact.
