Don’t skip this beat. I love a good rhythm game, but I wasn’t quite prepared for how quickly GRIDbeat! would grab (and hold) my attention. As one of the first titles from the newly revived publisher Acclaim, it makes a strong, bold entrance with unique, stylised visuals, razor-sharp gameplay, and excellent music. The aim of…
Category: Games April 22, 2026 Tides of Tomorrow: Game Director Adrien Poncet Explores Player Choices and Their Consequences Adrien Poncet, Game Director at DigixArt A groundbreaking concept At DigixArt, we’re always looking for new, innovative, and quirky ways to tell non-linear stories, in our “choices matter” narrative games.

Fallout: New Vegas writer and former Obsidian creative officer, Chris Avellone, has given a new interview to Fallout content creator TKs-Mantis, and it’s a hefty one. Perhaps the most eyebrow-raising assertion is that Bethesda doesn’t have the source code for New Vegas (I’ve asked Bethesda about this, and haven’t had a response yet), but there’s…
Peachy. If you have watched The Super Mario Galaxy Movie already (and based on those box office figures, we’d wager a fair few of you have), then you’ll no doubt know that there are some pretty big revelations when it comes to Princess Peach’s backstory. Well, according to Shigeru Miyamoto himself, that backstory will remain…

Developed by the Dutch studio Team Hoi, it was originally intended to launch on the Commodore Amiga but would eventually limp onto PC via a very limited release. Read…
While us mere Earth-dwellers are stuck in the middle of the RAMpocalypse, those bourgeoise folks up on the International Space Station have no such worries. The current crew are reviewing plans to replace network servers on the gigantic floating tin can—and discussing when they can activate their new laptops. And what magnificent machines they appear…
Rather than juggling way too many tabs in Chrome, I sweep them all into OneTab and promptly forget about them—extensions and plugins are great. If I still had my own blog, I’d probably use them for all sorts of things, but third-party platform add-ons also represent a security concern. It’s important to double-check the provenance…
Beating out Resident Evil Requiem. If your social media feed has been overrun with Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream content, well, same! Nintendo’s latest Switch 1 title seems to be a hit, perhaps nowhere more so than France, where the game is apparently the best physical launch of 2026 so far. According to French journalist…
I love money so much. I’d marry a banknote if it was socially acceptable, and then I’d cheat on it with coins. But I also love PC games, and oh no! They’re more expensive than ever. And don’t even get me started on console exclusives, that demand you pony up for the hardware too. That’s…
