The elevator pitch behind Robot Cache is simple: what if there was a digital storefront like Steam, but you could sell games to other users once you had finished playing them? Oh, and it was all powered by the blockchain. Sorry to spoil the ending, but it didn’t end up making much of a splash…
Critical Hit Welcome to Critical Hit (formerly known as Soundtrack Sunday), where I celebrate and lament all things videogame music, audio design, and the ways our favourite games make our ears tingle. I love Neverwinter Nights. I would count myself among the top 100, maybe even top 50 fans in the world of this joint…
Umamusume: Pretty Derby took the internet by storm after its global launch in June last year, kicking off a whole new Western fanbase for the anime racing horse girl genre..I was amongst the crowd that got swept up in its surprisingly in-depth career mode, training my beloved Oguri Cap trained as hard as I possibly…
AI is coming to take my job, so I’d better start looking for a new one. Luckily, there are a ton of job simulators on Steam, and I’m going to play as many as I can until I find my next career. This week’s job: PBA Pro Bowling 2026, a bowling sim about bowling. As…
Our picks for the best eShop games on Switch 1 & 2 in March. As early signs of spring emerge after a pretty rough winter, there’s only one thing we can think about right now: what’s waiting for us on the eShop. Yep, it’s eShop Selects for March 2026, and yes, believe it or not,…

I discovered Space Invaders in 1978,Space was visiting my aunt and cousins in McGregor, Texas (outside of Waco), a town of barely over 2,000 people. It was in a dingy, seedy arcade and was very imposing. I’d already played my share of pinball and electromechanical games, as well as early video titles like Pong, Breakout,…
Disk Cleanup Welcome to Disk Cleanup, our regular weekend column delving into the PCs of PC gaming luminaries. Come back every weekend to read a new interview, digging into the important questions, like “How tidy is your desktop?” and “What game will you never uninstall?” Tarn Adams cannot recall exactly when he first got into…
Sean Martin, Senior Guides Writer (Image credit: Future) Last week: I was trying to make a dent in Crimson Desert. This week: I’m still trying. What is Crimson Desert? Genuinely, that’s not rhetorical. After 150 hours galavanting across the continent of Pywel—though, in truth, mostly the first region of Hernand—I still find myself struggling to…
“We were blown away by the reception”. Bubsy, it’s safe to say, doesn’t have the greatest reputation in the world. So when Bubsy 4D was announced at Gamescom 2025, we were honestly pretty floored. Not only was Atari reviving a series that’s arguably had far more misses than hits in its 30+ year history, but…
