Citizens! We live in times of unprecedented danger! We are beset on all sides by traitors and saboteurs. Reactionaries whisper treason in dimly lit rooms. Their mouths spew poison and lies that eat away at the foundations of the worker-peasant revolution, at the root of the world revolution itself. And, worst of all, no one…
The glittering sky of mystery, magic, and head scratching enigmas is becoming much larger – Order of the Sinking Star is arriving on PlayStation 5 later this year. Developed by Jonathan Blow’s independent studio Thekla, it should come as no surprise that this stablemate of Braid and The Witness is a puzzler… but with a…
Salmon point. Whilst it wasn’t part of the original release 11 years ago (yikes), Salmon Run has become a core part of the Splatoon experience, as important as Turf Wars and bizarre single player adventures. Splatoon Raiders is Salmon Run to an extent, but it feels to me like a side mode from ‘Splatoon 4’…
Glorious, purveyor of PC peripherals such as gaming keyboards and mice, has branched out into headsets. The company released its first wired effort, the Glorious GHS Eternal, earlier this year and, in terms of build quality, the wireless InfinitePlay shares a lot of DNA. In terms of pricing though, the two headsets couldn’t be more…

“The first static recompilation of a Wii game”. Last week brought the announcement of the “first static recompilation of a Wii game” — Mario Kart Wiicompiled — generating a lot of buzz and excitement across social media, as well as enthusiastic headlines across a ton of different gaming and tech websites. However, something worth noting…
“One of the best Gradius clones I’ve ever played”. Doujin shmup Spolous has a sequel, and it’s free to download. As spotted by Crypticus on social media, Spolous II is a side-scrolling 2.5D shooter with music by Naoya Kamisaka. The visuals hint at a fusion of Konami’s Gradius and Techno Soft’s Thunder Force, which is…
Oof… Big oof. When Sony recently announced it would be ending the production of physical media for the PS5 (and presumably the PS6) from January 2028, the gaming community was quite rightly up in arms. Yet despite the ongoing backlash, the actual data indicating how poorly physical media sells these days doesn’t lie. And it’s…
Nvidia announced DLSS 5 back in March and it received, let’s say, mixed reactions. A lot of people weren’t happy about how, judging by the demos, it seemed to essentially just slap a ‘yassifying’ AI filter on top of a game scene. Nvidia itself confirmed that all the tech has to work with for each…
Where there’s a Quill, there’s a way. When I first played Moss on PSVR in 2018, it was the game that truly sold me on virtual reality. Here was an adventure with the ambition and polish of a console release that used VR to draw the player into its world in a genuinely compelling way….
