Space Station Silicon Valley: Recompiled is here. Decompliation projects are big news these days, as they pave the way for coders to create native ports (or ‘recompliations’) for a wide range of systems. Recently, we’ve seen titles like Star Fox 64 and Banjo-Kazooie get recompiled for other platforms, and now it’s the turn of another…
One of the ‘fun’ things about Deadlock being in ‘closed beta’—that is, not officially released, but relatively accessible with an invite from a pal—is the fact that Valve is under no compulsion or desire to keep the meta stable for any serious length of time. As is the case with Silver. Silver’s the newest hero…
These residents are evil. Gosh, how is it February already? We don’t know about you, but January actually flew by this year, and looking at the stacked line-up of games for the next few weeks, we suspect we’ll be seeing March before we know it. Yes, February is set to deliver a bunch of bangers…
Label management, save data, backups and more. The Analogue 3D, as we all know, is a great piece of kit – but there’s always room for improvement, especially when it comes to organising things like cartridge artwork, save data and per-game settings for graphical modes and so on. Thankfully, a clever coder by the name…
Arc Raiders, like many other games, have had to deal with its fair share of cheaters. The devs have taken to burning them in locked rooms, dishing out big bans, and handing all the loot lost to these rats back to their rightful owners. And now Embark is cracking down on cheaters even more: by…
Fraser Brown, Online Editor (Image credit: Future) Last week: I had a miserable time trying to mod Fallout: New Vegas on my Steam Deck, all because I really like a silly TV show. This week: It’s yokai hunting season, baby. Nioh 3—perhaps in response to Elden Ring, or perhaps reflecting Team Ninja’s own foray into…
We all knew it was coming, but Anran is one of five new Overwatch heroes coming in The Reign of Talon’s Season 1: Conquest. Wuyang’s sister and fellow Wuxing University student, this DPS hero fans the flames—quite literally—with powerful new abilities and perks to blitz through the backline. While the DPS launches fully in The…
Qud’ve been worse. Publisher Kitfox Games has announced that Caves of Qud will finally release on the Nintendo Switch this month on 16th February 2026. The title has been a long time coming – 17 years in the making, to be precise – so the recent delays on Switch have felt pretty trivial, thankfully. Toward…
“Grid movement, slow tension and tactical combat”. First-person dungeon crawlers were all the rage at one point, thanks to the popularity of games like Ultima, Wizardry, Dungeon Master, Eye of the Beholder and Lands of Lore. The move to full-3D pushed this particular sub-genre into the shadows, but it reemerged in 2012 with the excellent…
A hollow promise? Back in December, we learned that the original Hollow Knight would be getting a Nintendo Switch 2 Edition of its own at some point in 2026. In true Team Cherry style, things have been radio silent ever since, but a newly-emerged PEGI rating may suggest that we’re closer to release than we…
