My first impressions of the Logitech G321 Lightspeed gaming headset were not positive. It’s a noticeably cheaper-feeling headset than the comparably priced Corsair HS55 (this is before mentioning that Corsair’s offering is older and regularly reduced). It creaks under pressure, and the speakers in the earcups aren’t even padded, meaning you can tap plastic if…
Are you ready for some more AI? Is that a heck yeah I hear? Oh… Well, here’s some more anyway. This time courtesy of Gigabyte’s new gaming laptops which are going to ship with “press and speak” functionality for voice control. The company explains that the just-announced Gaming A18 and Gaming A16 Pro comes with…
“It sounded as good as anything else we had on the board.”. As you may be aware, recently we spoke to the former vice president of sales at Nintendo of America, Bruce Lowry, about what it was like launching the NES in the States, his time at Sega, and his reasons for returning to Nintendo…
After the very successful Arc Raiders beta stole the spotlight from Bungie’s Marathon (if it had any to begin with), Embark is turning on the servers once again for the Arc Raiders Server Slam; it’s effectively an open beta. This is your final chance to check out Embark’s extraction shooter before it launches on October…
“We look forward to the day when we will be able to see you again!”. The arcade industry has been on a slow but steady decline for some time now, and nowhere is this felt more keenly than in Japan, where several notable amusement centres have shut up shop in recent years. We’ve sadly got…
Little-known, underground indie videogame platform Steam sure is doing well for itself. The service recently hit a new historical high of 41,666,455 players online at once, per the stoic record-keepers over at SteamDB. That’s just a little over the population of Canada and a whole lot higher than the last time it graced our pages…
There is a conflict brewing in Battlefield 6, a secret underground war spanning generations. The fledgling Zoomer Rebellion rallies its forces against the House of Battledads over a crucial resource that will decide the fate of the FPS genre for years to come: Movement mechanics. That is, if the community’s to be believed. See, during…
One of the biggest complaints lobbed at Battlefield 6 so far is that its progression systems are painfully slow. In fact, I complained about it just yesterday, and how it could impact Season 1. Career ranks aren’t too bad, but they currently gate progression for important assignments for new guns and gadgets. Weapon XP, on…
Here’s an exciting sentence: Kunos Simulazioni, the developer behind Assetto Corsa Evo, Assetto Corsa Competizione and the endlessly modded original AC title, is making a rally game in collaboration with Supernova Games. It’s called Assetto Corsa Rally, which makes sense. Revealed at Sim Racing Expo 2025 in Dortmund, Assetto Corsa Rally will launch into Steam…
You and meme. Ah, the humble Metroidvania. We’ve seen more additions to this genre than we can count in recent years and now — with all other bases covered, presumably — even memes are being adapted into the format of non-linear exploration. After a successful Kickstarter campaign, This is Fine: Maximum Cope takes KC Green’s…
