Blink and you’ll miss it. We really liked Goodnight Universe, Nice Dream’s follow-up to GoodbyeWorld’s award-winning Before Your Eyes. But for the Switch 2 version, there was one big thing absent that players on Steam had — camera support. Eye-tracking and facial recognition is a big part of the game, but with the feature missing…
Correct me if I’m wrong, but there’s a shortage of things to worry about right now when it comes computing-adjacent hardware. Personally, I’m finding the AI boom, memory crisis, tariffs, over-priced GPUs and all that simply isn’t enough to be getting on with. So, here’s something else to get us all vexed, a good old-fashioned…
AI has been in a funny place for some time. Growing exponentially, and sucking up much of the world’s supply of memory, GPUs, and energy in the process, we’ve seen countless examples of models being released with few guardrails and being reigned in after the fact. This week, Google published its “responsible AI progress report”…
The memory supply crisis rages on, sparked by AI datacentres’ ravenous hunger for RAM and system storage.

The nine winners will then go head-to-head in a final poll at the end of the month….
Arc Raiders is a fascinating social experiment, and also occasionally a videogame. Even as someone on the outskirts, I’ve sunk hours into watching social interactions play out between rats and good guys, chucked into a pressure cooker where you can kill each other, but are never forced to. Speaking to PC Gamer’s own Tim Clark,…
Earlier this week, the district court of the Western District of Washington favoured Valve Corporation in its 2023 lawsuit against Leigh Rothschild and his associated companies, on all counts, including breach of contract and the violation of Washington’s Patent Troll Prevention and Consumer Protection Acts. Rothschild is an inventor with a huge array of patents…
Overwatch’s grand return has, for the most part, been pretty damn good. I mean, it’s not like the game ever went away, but it certainly feels like it’s having a little resurgence since dropping the ‘2’ in its name, adding five new heroes, and doing a big ol’ overhaul of its UI. True 2026 is…
