Opening a bank account in Crimson Desert feels a little out of reach earlier in the game. After all, you need 100 silver just to register with the bank and a further gold bar to deposit in order for you to start making money and collecting interest from your investments. Still, it’s a great way…
The AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 was a no show at this year’s CES, fuelling concerns it may never fully surface. However, at least one motherboard manufacturer briefly acted like the dual 3D V-Cache CPU had already enjoyed a grand reveal.

After about 200 hours in The Witcher 3 and its DLCs, I can’t say I was left thinking “There should have been more”, but as it turns out we did all play a somewhat slimmed down version of Geralt’s adventures. In addition to an enormous number of bug fixes, the Brothers in Arms mod by…

It’s a rather clunky trial and a bit confusing to figure out what you need to do, but once you’ve got the hang of things, it’s actually really simple. You’ll find the Trembling…
“We used every card we had”. In the realm of retro gaming news in 2026, the announcement that 70’s Robot Anime Geppy-X is getting a re-release certainly ranks pretty high on the ‘shock-o-meter’, not least because the game is considered to be a cult classic even in Japan, but also because it’s getting a Western…
Not so long ago, I was primarily a console gamer. One thing I definitely don’t miss about those bad old days is that, unlike with a gaming PC, when things went wrong, cracking the console open myself was rarely a real option. Well, thanks to the EU’s right to repair bill, some significant repairability hoops…
