It is about one hour to presentation time and Alexander Helliwell has decided to experiment. His mod—an attempt to convert Prologue: Go Wayback’s default temperate woodland biome to a scorching desert—was looking pretty slick last time I passed by: all dazzling sunsets and dry heat and, an added bonus, running quite well. Turns out that…
“This is all the validation I need”. In recent times, we’ve seen a flood of games being ported to consoles that they were never on back in the day. Games like Metal Gear Solid, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, GTA3, Virtua Fighter 4, and many more have been shown running on platforms which, once upon…
Switch tactics. Developer Mimimi Games and publisher Daedalic Entertainment have unleashed Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun on the Switch 2, with an appropriately sneaky launch trailer to mark its release. In our recent review, we called Shadow Tactics “a fantastic real-time tactics adventure that wows with top-notch gameplay, fantastic looks, and a set of…
I’m rather excited for Starfinder: Afterlight, mostly because it’s the closest—beyond charming indie projects like Dawnsbury Days—I’m going to get to a fully-realised Pathfinder 2e videogame in the near future.

I’ve used dummy RAM kits before. Usually, a pair of DIMMs that contain no memory chips is simply acting as a shell to match other functioning DIMMs in the remaining slots, often with RGB lighting to match.

Silky smooth. Team Cherry has been gradually churning out the updates for Hollow Knight: Silksong since it launched last year, and now, the game’s getting one “last significant update” before the arrival of Sea of Sorrow. As shared in a recent blog post from the devs, ‘Patch 5’ launched on PC earlier this week, with…
At their core, sims are hedonistic little squirrels constantly meeting their needs one moment at a time without any ability to think through a sequence of actions. That’s by design, one Sims 4 developer says, but he always wanted sims to have a more thoughtful approach to their own lives when left to their own…
Category: Games March 18, 2026 Pragmata Loves Being a Video Game Joe Skrebels, Xbox Wire Editor-in-Chief The last time I played Pragmata, I came away delighted by how it was inserting a truly new idea into a very familiar genre, building a hacking minigame into the fabric of third-person shooter combat. Almost a year later,…
We reported recently that the US government may cap exports of Nvidia’s H200 chip to China. But for that cap to be meaningful, China would need to approve imports of H200 in the first place. According to multiple sources, that has now happened. Both Reuters and the Wall Street Journal report that Chinese authorities have…
