Though it’s a chunky handheld gaming PC, we highly rated the original Lenovo Legion Go (though we liked the Legion Go S SteamOS a fair bit more). Unfortunately, owners of the two-year old hardware are now reporting that a recent BIOS update is bricking their handhelds. The BIOS update in question is version N3CN42WW for…
Last week, developer ShiftUp released a video marketing its upcoming sequel Stellar Blade: Blood Rain. A so-called “music video” which was riddled with generative AI, from Evie’s harrowing grin to a very rubbish song with cringeworthy robotic vocals. The video has garnered a whole bunch of backlash—from myself included—as people wondered why on earth a…
The reviews are in. Game Freak, as you’ll know, is basically the Pokémon company (except for, you know, the actual Pokémon Company, which Game Freak partly owns – it’s not as complex as it sounds, promise). Yet every now and then, the developer will come out with something that has absolutely nothing to do with…
You don’t need me to tell you the memory crisis is looking bleak, but, well, the memory crisis is looking bleak. So bleak, in fact, that Gigabyte has just unveiled a new series of AM4 motherboards. Yes, the socket we thought we’d be done with by now. The B550 X Series, as Gigabyte calls it,…
“No generative AI or LLMs have touched any part of this translation”. The original Super Famicom version of Chunsoft’s highly influential “sound novel” Kamaitachi no Yoru has just received a fan translation, allowing players to experience it in English for the very first time. Released in 1994, Kamaitachi no Yoru was the second sound novel…
As you can see in the above video, I recently travelled to Osaka, Japan, to go inside Capcom’s headquarters and play its upcoming action game, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, as well as talk to many of the lead devs who have worked on it. And, as part of my developer interviews, I spoke with…
PC cooling company Arctic has secured a tariff refund from the US government. The company isn’t simply content to sit on the cash, though. As a result of the refund, Arctic is rolling back prices on its cooling components for US customers. On top of that, the company has also pledged to put the money…
Any potential DLC will be considered a spin-off. Final Fantasy VII Revelation director Naoki Hamaguchi has once again conducted an interview to promote the upcoming third entry in the remake series. Crucially, he has sought to reassure fans that the main story will indeed conclude with the base game. Some folks had become concerned that…
It might sound like a cruel joke in a time where memory is costing hundreds of dollars more than it used to, and GPUs are getting price hikes, but there’s a new bit of software called Nukemark that is designed to bring even the best graphics cards to their absolute limits. Nukemark is based in…
Grow your own way. Kynseed begins with a personality quiz that bestows upon you in-game benefits based on your answers. That’s a pretty good sketch of the life sim’s magic: choice. The debut from English studio Pixelcount (a team of former Fable devs), this fairytale-inspired game has entrepreneurship, fishing, marriage, combat, and plenty more –…
