And how success & money appeared to change everything. In the ’90s, there were few partnerships in gaming as iconic as the one that formed between the now-legendary arcade game Capcom and the famous US-based comic book publisher Marvel. But it appears, according to a former Capcom staff member, that this relationship didn’t get off…
Steam player counts are an odd metric. They can be a neat insight into a game’s initial popularity (at least on PC), and a handy way of gaining some kind of ballpark on games that keep their active playerbase numbers closer to their chest. But they’re also unceremoniously used to throw games under the bus—declaring…
But is it for a Switch 2 version? The ratings board is at it again, and this time it’s for a Nintendo-published title. But there’s a little bit of confusion as to what it actually means. Resetera user –R has spotted a rating for Hal Laboratory’s BOXBOY! + BOXGIRL! in Taiwan (via Knoebel on Bluesky)….

Beyond the fact that it starts at $599 and makes for a very good productivity laptop (although not so much for gaming), the cheap-but-cheerful machine’s popularity appears to have taken even Apple by surprise. In the Q&A section of the company’s recent Q2 2026 earnings…
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…
