Barrel roll. Nintendo has teased an official LEGO Donkey Kong set via Nintendo Today. As noted by the redoubtable Wario64, the video tease on the app shows only the logos of the Danish company and the SK series, with a little brick barrel rolling from right to left across a wooden tabletop: Read the full…
Milan, a city defined by style, speed, and motorsport passion, becomes the center of the racing world this weekend. The Gran Turismo World Series 2026 begins inside the historic Teatro Lirico Giorgio Gaber, just moments from the iconic Duomo. The sold-out event marks Gran Turismo’s first-ever World Series appearance in Italy and opens a new…
In the event you have not yet gotten around to 2015’s best singleplayer game, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, then beware—spoilers await you ahead. If you have gotten around to it, then you’ll be agonisingly aware of its most harrowing scene. After spending so long searching for Ciri, Geralt and the gang are (relatively) safely…
Update: New footage shown with CD-DA audio. Not a week seems to pass without a new porting project for the Genesis / Mega Drive – R-Type, RoboCop, Final Fight, Symphony of the Night, Super Castlevania IV… the list is pretty incredible now. Another notable Castlevania also seems to be coming to Sega’s 16-bit system; werton…
It’s hardly surprising that there was almost no mention of the gaming side of the business in Nvidia’s latest quarterly earnings call. The company has been riding high on all things AI for several years now, to the tune of a $5.41 trillion market capitalisation as I write this. Unsurprisingly, CEO Jensen Huang is excited…
It’s the 21st century, which means—er, well, all sorts of existential horrors. But it also means that the media landscape, a term I typically shudder to use but is genuinely applicable here, has changed. A lot of the younger generations get their news from social media and streaming platforms, including online personalities—and archetypically, the government…
In a tale as old as Blackwell, Nvidia has managed to make it through yet another quarterly report with nary a mention of gaming. Well, okay, there was one mention of gaming, but that was basically just to say it’s now being considered subsumed under—you guessed it—an AI segment of the business. Along with the…

Available for both the home (AES) and arcade (MVS) formats, Necro Pop is the second game from the studio for the console, following…
By far the best and most influential of these is Westwood Studios’ Dune II: The Building of a Dynasty from 1992, a landmark Real Time Strategy (RTS) game that not only laid the way for Command & Conquer, but also for the whole genre. Of course, Dune II wasn’t the first RTS. Both 1988’s Modem…
No cat-astrophe here. Reputation matters, and few video game characters have spent longer trapped beneath the weight of their own than Bubsy. The wisecracking bobcat arrived in 1993 as Accolade’s answer to the ’90s mascot-platformer boom and promptly became notorious for clumsy design and punishing controls. Yet, the bobcat kept clawing his way back into…
