“I would love to work on one of those”. Atari CEO Wade Rosen has been doing the rounds on the interview circuit recently, not only discussing his company’s recent purchase of a controlling stake in Thunderful but also the performance of the Atari 2600+ and 7800+ systems and future merchandising opportunities. Rosen has also been…
I once read somewhere—on the internet, so it must be true—that your eyes have a thing called ‘immune privilege.’ In essence, your body’s immune system lets your eyes get away with all sorts of stuff because if it behaved normally, causing swelling and/or high temperatures when your eyes got poorly, there’s a risk it’d interfere…
Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy everything modern PC gaming has to offer—but there’s no use denying I am also a Nintendo girlie. I’m dating myself here, but the company got their hooks in me young with the Game Boy Color, and I’ve had an affectionate respect for cart-based gaming ever since. Enter an OS…
OK, there are some caveats here. Valve’s Steam hardware survey is prone to certain distortions, the particulars of which we’ll come to. But the latest figures for August 2025 are still intriguing, including Nvidia’s RTX 5070 taking top spot among current-gen GPU hardware while AMD’s RDNA 4 cards don’t appear. At all. That the RTX…

Atari 2600+ is also an “evergreen project”. Atari has just purchased a controlling stake in Swedish publisher Thunderful, which might lead you to assume the company is abandoning its ‘retro first’ approach for something a little more contemporary. However, speaking to Gamesindustry.biz, Atari CEO Wade Rosen made it clear that classic gaming is still very…
What year is it?! The latest UK boxed charts are in and, thanks to the launch of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater and Gears of War: Reloaded, the top ten has seen a bit of a shake up. Starting with Snake Eater, Konami’s remake for the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S has reached number…
In the world of CPUs, GPUs, and all things chip-based, patent applications are so frequent that there’s little point in paying attention to them. However, one filing from Intel has made its way into tech news headlines because it offers a clever way to improve a CPU’s performance-per-watt efficiency. It also suggests that Intel’s hybrid…
It’s no secret that I enjoy an aesthetic brand collaboration for PC gaming accessories. They often add a bit of colour and a design touch we’d normally don’t get to see. When most peripherals come in black, white, camo, and maybe pink, anything else is a welcome change. But sometimes we get an especially cool…
Final Fantasy 14‘s patch 7.31 releases today—and while you can usually set your watch to these updates (we’ve known there’d be a new relic weapon step and a new cosmic exploration planet for a while), it’s always nice when Square actually does something surprising. Tucked away in the patch notes, Creative Studio 3 has majorly…
