Last week I reported on data from JPR claiming that gaming PC sales are booming and that the high end of the market is going gangbusters, in particular. Now a different research outfit is predicting that overall PC sales will be down by 5% in 2026. So what, exactly, is going on? The new report…
Spirited away. Kena: Bridge of Spirits is an easy game, but it has two near insurmountable difficulty spikes. The first is the compulsion to constantly sit with your companion critters and make them dance around you or kiss you on the cheek, which brings the game to a screeching halt. The second is an overwhelming…
Weeks after my visit to Bit Reactor, I can still distinctly remember every mission from my four and a half hours of hands-on time. It nails the XCOM specialty of combat that leaves you with stories, like when I used Jedi Padawan Tel-Rea Vokoss to force pull a guy into an exploding barrel, blowing up…
“Destroy Jason if you can”. As we’ve mentioned on the site before, LJN’s 1989 video game adaptation of Friday the 13th isn’t necessarily held up as a shining example of what the NES library has to offer.

Originally released in 2006, it’s been updated several times, remastered by RGG Studios with the Dragon Engine, received the highly-requested rollback netcode, and finally ported to current platforms, including the Switch 2. If I were to describe…
“A premium historical artefact and definitive physical release”. Gremlin’s Zool was one of the many platform games to try to muscle in on the craze kicked off by Mario and Sonic, and was reasonably successful on the home computer formats and consoles of the era. It would seem that the ‘Ninja of the Nth Dimension’…
Sorry, MULLET MADJACK. Despite CoD still not being on Switch yet (despite promises), Switch has first-person shooters to suit all tastes, whether you’re a modern-era DOOM slayer, a boomer shooter, or you want to throw beats, boomerangs, or puzzles/portals into the mix.
