Everyone’s saying it: things just aren’t what they used to be. Where are the real heroes, you know? The titans who built the games we grew up with? Are they all gone? Are they all departed to Eressëa, never to return? Oh, they’re still here. Well, my mistake. This I have learnt from recent posts…
Hey. Nice sneakers. Back in 2023, Mimimi Games, the Munich-based indie studio that almost single-handedly reinvigorated the real-time tactical genre over the previous decade, released its very best game to date. And then it shut down for good. Of all the indie studio closures we’d had up to that point, this one felt like it…
Intel has recently spotted a whole host of security vulnerabilities in the UEFI for many of its products, which could allow the escalation of privileges to bad actors. It’s a problem worth updating your device over when updates are available, but for now, just stay vigilant of who is near your rig. The highest severity…
Its purpose is supposedly “pure investment”. The Saudi investment firm Misk Foundation, using its Electronic Gaming Development Company (EGDC) branch, has acquired a significant number of shares in Capcom, according to GameBiz (thanks, Automaton). The firm, owned by Saudi Arabian Crown Price Mohammed Bin Salman, now owns a 5.03% stake in Capcom after acquiring 26,788,500…
MegaDev 1.0 now available. While the Sega Mega Drive / Genesis homebrew scene is constantly flooded with new and unique games, as well as ports of existing titles, the Mega CD / Sega CD, by comparison, has traditionally been somewhat neglected, due to both the lack of available tools and the increased complexity of developing…
I’m still chewing on the thick, juicy slab of meat that is World of Warcraft: Midnight for our review—eagerly awaiting the launch of Season 1 later this week. I am also secretly very glad that I’m not into crafting, because profession-savvy WoW players are having a much worse time than I am. Abundance events are…
There’s a lot of spinning plates any operating system needs to manage—but when things go wrong, smashed crockery is often the least of an end user’s concerns. For instance, some Windows 11 users were left considering going full ‘bull in a china shop’ when the OS seemingly locked them out of their own C: drive….
Starfield didn’t quite land as the next big Bethesda game—I mean, it did about as well as you’d expect from any game from the studio, but critical and community response hasn’t signposted the sort of longevity the developer might’ve come to expect from, say, Skyrim. Last week, its composer Inon Zur said that despite this…
Babaliba wasn’t the only classic game to be converted over to the Atari ST, as I’ve recently been told that the 1993 DOS game called Train, which is also very similar to another classic game called SNAKE. Has been converted over to the Atari ST by Slovak programmer Baky, with music by scener Tao. To coincide with…
Grafaiai-ic tees. Uniqlo is no stranger to a Pokémon collab or two, so it will come as no surprise to hear that it has a collection inspired by the classics up its sleeve for the series’ 30th anniversary. The company’s latest Pokémon range launches in “late March”, and it all circulates around the iconic ‘mon…
