Valve has a new cube coming out, and boy is it pricey. The Steam Machine finally broke cover last Monday, revealing that its absolute cheapest model would still set you back $1,049—for which you can thank the RAM crisis. It caused some consternation, with a lot of people who might have thought themselves day-one buyers…
Rockstar is known for being very weird with its marketing and releases, telling us as little as feasibly possible. It can afford to, I suppose. We’re all gonna be tuned in and coughing up the cash for GTA 6 anyhow—and what a lot of cash it is. While GTA 6 is launching on November 19,…

Born of a brilliant union between cutting-edge console technology and of-the-era super radical attitude, Sonic’s iconic design and in-your-face personality quickly solidified him as a bonafide pop culture icon, a flagbearer of everything hip, cool, and of course, fast.

Pigma balls. I was a little conflicted at the announcement of Star Fox‘s long-awaited return. One of Nintendo’s finest titles with fresh visuals and updated controls? Yes please.
