Oh, how things have changed. Just over a decade ago, Sony performed a slam dunk straight on Microsoft’s head for its video on how to share PS4 games, and now it seems like PS6 games will be digital only. Well, Microsoft-owned code repo site GitHub has taken that opportunity to take a swing back, and…
A(dam) smash(er) hit. When the Switch 2 released over a year back (gulp!), one of the most high-profile launch titles was Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition. Containing both the base game and the expansion story Phantom Liberty, it’s a comprehensive package that looks and runs like a dream, making it an easy recommendation for Switch 2…
“I never made much progress on this idea”. It’s looking increasingly likely that the future of console gaming is going to be digital-only, as Sony has just announced that it is ending disc production and won’t be shipping an optical drive in the PS6. Xbox is very likely to follow suit, leaving Nintendo as the…
Google has lost another protracted antitrust fight in the EU. Back in 2018, the European Commission fined the company billions of euros over agreements that forced phone manufacturers to pre-load only Google products like Search, Chrome, and the Play app store on their Android devices, to the exclusion of rival products from competitors. Google has…
If you take a gander inside your gaming PC and randomly point at any component in there, you’re almost certainly going to land on something that’s noticeably more expensive than it was just 12 months ago. And if that so happens to be an Intel Core Ultra 200S Plus chip, then that’s included too, as…
Dinky dock. As a means to play your Switch 2 games on the TV, Nintendo’s official dock is perfectly fine. But when it comes to portability, it’s definitely a bit lacking. Though not massive, it’s going to take up substantial space in your backpack or suitcase if you want to bring the full-fat Switch 2…
I am once again asking you to read ‘Doom Guy – Life in First Person’. The DOOM, DOOM II, & Quake level designer Sandy Petersen can’t stop getting details about id Software’s history wrong. Just one week after his comments on piracy and DOOM, he has once again been corrected by id Software’s co-founder, John…
Lara cutbacks. Rise of the Tomb Raider was a welcome port for the Switch 2, and one that seems to hold up pretty well on Nintendo’s console. It earned a solid 8/10 from us, at least, in which we described it as a game that serves “as a strong example of the vision of the…
It’s time to see which PS5, PS4, PS VR2, and free-to-play games topped last month’s download charts. In June, creepy, empty spaces took over the charts as Escape the Backrooms topped the charts in both the US and EU, while other backroom-themed games appeared in the PS VR2 rankings. Check out the full listings below….
Despite its high price and somewhat disappointing gaming chops, Valve’s Steam Machine appears to be selling well, with lots of buyers showing off their new purchase on social media. And in what seems to be the first published instance, the consumer coverage also includes a console-like Red Ring Line of Death. Well, the Steam Machine…
