“The algorithm panics”. The resurrected Commodore International has already scored a significant hardware success with its brilliant C64 Ultimate, but it’s fair to say that its latest product has divided opinion a little. The Callback 8020 phone is intended to combat the increasingly negative relationship people have with their all-singing, all-dancing smartphones, as it strips…
Little House House on the Prairie. If you’re familiar with House House’s previous title, Untitled Goose Game, you’ll know that the whole game hinges on surprises and quiet charm. Big Walk is entirely different in its structure, but those key principles are made even more pertinent, so I’m going to do my best to skirt…
I played first-person co-op puzzle game Big Walk with strangers back in March and had an absolute gas. Naturally, it’s even better with friends: in two long sessions with my PC Gamer pals Tyler and Morgan, we’ve solved over a dozen puzzles, had twice as many laughs, and as you might expect, done a heck…

If you’ve ever felt like your bike trainer has a disturbing lack of Rocket League or Forza Horizon, you are in luck. One app called Deck de France can let you use your bike as a controller for games, though it’s pretty limited so far. Shared on GitHub (via Hackaday), Deck de France is technically…
Bag? Check. Pencil? Check. Alarmo? Check. Famitsu’s recent interview with Shigeru Miyamoto revealed quite a few interesting tidbits, including confirmation that Star Fox and Yoshi and the Mysterious Book were made as a direct result of the recent Mario movies, and some of the creators thoughts on Nintendo remakes and their role in the company’s…
Developer is using AI to “automate Game Boy development”. As any retro gaming purist will tell you, playing old games today isn’t just a matter of finding the original hardware and games – the screen you play on is equally as important when it comes to creating an authentic feel. While many players spend hundreds…
If Microsoft gutting its Xbox division, laying off staff, and struggling to give its console a real unique selling point hasn’t quite put you off the brand, you will now have to pay hundreds more for its devices if you live in Europe.

Final Fantasy 14 isn’t any stranger to crossovers—but Evercold will be a first for the MMO, wherein both the raid series and the alliance raid series (8-man and 24-man raids, respectively) will be crossovers. With the latter being a whackadoodle Evangelion crossover, and the former being a far more reasonable FF7 one. This won’t be…
