Panther Lake has finally arrived on my test bench. Well, the chip “formerly codenamed” Panther Lake, anyway. Intel would much prefer we refer to its new chip generation as the Intel Core Ultra Series 3—which is the name you’ll find emblazoned on the specs sheet of many thin and light laptops in the next few…
There’s still no remake announcement in sight, sadly. In somewhat slightly unexpected news, Square Enix has just announced a new Final Fantasy IX album earlier today, which is set to reimagine Nobuo Uematsu’s iconic RPG soundtrack in a “deep house” style (thanks RPG Site for the spot). FINAL FANTASY IX – House Grooves, as the…

An adorable little Tamagotchi fella who you could feed and fuss over ahead of every level, before grabbing it like the fat little rodent it is and unleashing it as a weapon of mass destruction. Mochi-O’s demo is criminally short—clocking in…
This is very much a fan-made product, in case you needed telling. We’ve seen a flood of modern-day mini versions of popular home computers, including the C64, ZX Spectrum, Amiga and Atari 400, but one platform which has thus far remained untapped is the Atari ST. Released in 1985, the ST was one of the…
Despite the fact that AMD’s next-gen desktop CPU architecture, Zen 6, isn’t expected to appear until towards the end of this year, we were expecting at least two new desktop chips to arrive at CES this month. But no, all we got was a single Ryzen 7 9850X3D announcement and no mention whatsoever of the…
Regale us with your ideas. So, the third entry in the Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy officially has a final title (or subtitle, as is more likely), according to an interview with director Naoki Hamaguchi over at GameSpot. It’s a pretty significant milestone, and as stated by Hamaguchi-san, the team had it down to two…
