Partners in crime. The rumours all pointed towards a February Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase, and now we are mere moments away from it getting underway — who would have thought it! Yes, Nintendo is continuing its hot streak of Direct presentations today, with a 30-minute showcase dedicated to the third-party releases we can expect to…
Google and Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai has handily summarised the latter’s Q4 results in a blog post this week, and right near the top is an interesting figure: YouTube’s annual revenues surpassed $60 billion across ads and subscriptions. Looking deeper into the fiscal results themselves, YouTube ads brought in $11.38 billion in the last quarter,…
Here we go… Nintendo’s upcoming Partner Direct is right around the corner, but two major titles may have already leaked. The games in question – Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition – are known quantities, but according to prominent leaker billbil-kun via Deallabs (thanks, VGC), both may be receiving release…
Jimmy Dreams World. Early on in Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass, the young protagonist confronts a possessed frog statue in a house surrounded by a bloody lake. The possessor turns out to be a rotten Jack O’Lantern, capable of dangerous fire magic but with a goofy, cheerful grin. Defeating it, Jimmy stands where it used…
“I was telling [the Xenogears team], ‘Please tone down some of this stuff.’”. Last week, we published the first half of our conversation with the localisation legend Richard Honeywood.

A Redditor on ye olde PC Master Race subreddit claims to have picked up an RTX 5080 in-store at Walmart for a mere $562.49. That’s a fantastic price by any measure for an RTX 5080, but particularly right now with prices rising and the cheapest 5080s available online coming in at over $1,300. Let’s assume…

We even wrote up some pricing expectations, which in hindsight look to be the product of incredibly wishful thinking. But we didn’t know what we do now. Due to incredible demand for memory chips of all kinds—DRAM, mostly,…
Space Station Silicon Valley: Recompiled is here. Decompliation projects are big news these days, as they pave the way for coders to create native ports (or ‘recompliations’) for a wide range of systems. Recently, we’ve seen titles like Star Fox 64 and Banjo-Kazooie get recompiled for other platforms, and now it’s the turn of another…
One of the ‘fun’ things about Deadlock being in ‘closed beta’—that is, not officially released, but relatively accessible with an invite from a pal—is the fact that Valve is under no compulsion or desire to keep the meta stable for any serious length of time. As is the case with Silver. Silver’s the newest hero…
These residents are evil. Gosh, how is it February already? We don’t know about you, but January actually flew by this year, and looking at the stacked line-up of games for the next few weeks, we suspect we’ll be seeing March before we know it. Yes, February is set to deliver a bunch of bangers…
