I do not envy Eric Barone. Stardew Valley remains massively popular even a decade down the line, and is easily one of the biggest catalysts in the cosy gaming craze and the renaissance of the farming simulator. That kind of reputation is bound to put some heavy expectations on his next project, Haunted Chocolatier, from…
Before we continue, I’m gonna need you to promise you are not, and have never been, a representative of the Nintendo Co Ltd, also referred to as Nintendō Kabushiki gaisha, and formerly known as the Nintendo Playing Card Company. And while we’re here, you should probably affirm that you’re not part of Rockstar, the GTA…
Sony’s on it again with another bizarre AI patent I’m not sure anybody rightly wants. Back in January, the company put forward a patent for a “ghost”, which could play videogames for you if you were getting stuck. This idea sucks, don’t get me wrong—but it at least makes a certain kind of sense. If…
AMD’s latest earnings call has plenty of juicy tidbits to report, but something caught our eye very early on in the opening remarks. According to CEO Dr. Lisa Su, “Valve is on track to begin shipping its AMD-powered Steam Machine early this year.” Previously, Valve had stated that the new Steam Machine would release at…
It looks like Battlefield 6’s Javelin anti-cheat has been working overtime, identifying and smiting cheaters before they can muck up your games. It worked so hard, in fact, that it managed to identify hundreds of thousands of cheating instances over December. In an anti-cheats metrics report, Battlefield Studios revealed that teams have been working diligently…
Microsoft is reportedly aiming for a 2027 launch for its next-gen Xbox, with AMD once again producing a semi-custom chip to power it. In AMD’s earnings call, CEO Dr. Lisa Su told analysts and investors that it is already well into development of the future Xbox console’s SoC, noting the launch window in no uncertain…
Don’t take it to the tip just yet. Virtual Boy for Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack (we’ll never get over Nintendo’s naming conventions at the moment) is right around the corner, launching on 17th February 2026. But if you’re not keen on splashing out on the $66.99 / $99.99 replica or its cheaper cardboard…
Prepare for “an explosive sense of speed!”. Taito’s OutRun-esque driving game Top Speed (otherwise known as Full Throttle in Japan) is set to make its debut on modern consoles tomorrow (February 5th, 2026), as part of Hamster Corporation’s ongoing Arcade Archives/Arcade Archives 2 series. Released in 1987, Top Speed was created by a team inside…
The Sega Saturn was an oddball console to say the least, but nonetheless, it had some fantastic games. Titles like Panzer Dragoon Saga, Virtua Fighter 2, and Radiant Silver Gun offered exciting visuals and gameplay, just to name a few. For me, though, there’s one Saturn game that’s always stood out above the rest: Guardian…
Check it out now. The team-based competitive title Drag x Drive has received two major updates since it hit the court last August, and today Nintendo has released the game’s first update of 2026. This one is a much smaller patch. It bumps the game up to Version 1.2.1, and apparently addresses some issues to…
