World of Warcraft’s player housing feature is great—the microtransactions involved? Not so much. To be clear: There’s a huge list of decor you can get in the game without paying anything other than your usual subscription, and the system has enough freedom that you can absolutely build your own treehouse, if you wanted. But it…
Although the AI-induced global memory crisis is currently doing its very best to wipe out the consumer PC market, that doesn’t mean system vendors are giving up on releasing new products. In fact, we’re just a month away from Computex, and you can be sure to see a whole raft of new desktops, laptops, and…
If someone told me two years back that Creative Assembly was actually going to make Total War: Warhammer 40k, I wouldn’t have believed them. It’s not that the studio isn’t a natural fit after all its work on Total War: Warhammer, it’s more that the universe of 40k is both absurdly massive and ill-defined—a big…
Gone fishing. Here’s a cute little Nintendo Today! announcement we weren’t expecting: a brand new LEGO Animal Crossing set featuring our favourite tanuki nephew duo, Timmy & Tommy. Arriving on 1st August, Timmy & Tommy’s Fun Day Out will cost $59.99 / £54.99 and features the pair fishing on a red bridge together. It’s pretty…
First or third, make your choice. Resident Evil Requiem is quite unique in that it allows players to choose whether they experience the game in first or third-person. In fact, you can experiment quite a bit with it, utilising different perspectives depending on whether you’re playing as Leon Kennedy or Grace Ashcroft. According to developer…
May oui. As we slide into the middle of the year, James Bond might have slipped from his May release on Switch 2, but we’ve got both Indiana Jones and T. Yoshisaur Munchakoopas whipping their way to us this month, plus a bevvy of physical releases, large and small, across Switches 1 and 2. Square…
I’ve been a little enamoured with the GameSir G7 Pro ever since our review came out late last year. We’re firmly starting to get pro controllers without pro pricing, with rich feature sets, solid aesthetics, and even charging docks to boot. And, for the average gamer, you no longer have to go north of $150…
Includes “tons of fixes and polish”. The 8BitMods VMU Pro is one of the best accessories we’ve seen released for the Dreamcast in a while, and it has just been blessed with what the company is calling its “biggest update yet.” VMU Pro OS v2.0.4 finally enables the VMUPro Store, which allows you to download…
With the vast majority of PC components, laptops, handheld devices and full-blown consoles all made in China and various SE Asian countries, the fact that the biggest gaming vendors regularly import stuff is hardly newsworthy. But when the vendor in question is Valve, and the items being shipped over are registered as ‘games consoles’, that…
At its core, Battlefield 6 is a great multiplayer shooter. But EA has consistently fumbled it since an explosive launch that should have put the series back in the spotlight—it did for all of a month, give or take. Now BF6 is in its ‘we’ve heard your feedback era‘, adding seven maps this year (including…
