The Asus ROG Xbox Ally X is a peculiar beast: long-anticipated, but trepidatiously so. It’s the best handheld gaming PC in many respects, but not really worth all that money, and while it’s lacking in some key features, it’s apparently easily upgradeable. This last point has come to light thanks to iFixit’s recent disassembly of…
Whatever your feelings about it, we are heading into a somewhat different digital world thanks to AI. I’m ridiculously resistant to changing my habits, and even I am starting to consider keeping an AI chatbot open rather than Google for quick research.

We’ve also got some of that all-important Stability™ alongside some more general…
Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 will let you dress your bloodthirsty undead elder in 24 different outfits. 25, if you count their unflattering corpse pajamas (which I don’t). That’s a lot of outfits. A lot of outfits that desperately need to be ranked. I have worn clothes for more than 40 years. You could…
Jackbox Games is poised to deliver its 11th Jackbox Party Pack this week, so how are they keeping things fresh after all these years?

All three title were delisted last year. Live Wire, the company behind the Nintendo Switch reissue of several classic Cave shoot ’em ups, has released a series of unexpected updates earlier today, introducing online leaderboards to four of its previously released titles. As spotted by Gosokkyu, the list of titles to receive a surprising update…
I want to preface this by saying Little Nightmares isn’t the type of horror game that has kept me up at night, but on more than one occasion I have let out a yelp and jumped away from my monitor while playing the first two games. The demo of Reanimal however, the newest horror adventure…
