Remember the first five minutes of Top Gun: Maverick where Tom Cruise dies in a tragic crash, but not before magically passing his pilot’s spirit and innate talent to the young hotshot who becomes the new Maverick? No? You’re telling me that I just made that up? Well, look: That might be true. But I…
Fancy playing a new Commodore Amiga game that smacks of high quality, is fun to play, and well worth keeping an eye on as developments progress, then this game called ‘Double Baboon Ninja’ by Danlabg is just the game for you. An upcoming Arcade game in which you play as The Double Baboon Ninja’s, and must…
Scratch that. If you picked up a Switch 2 on launch day, then you’ve been caring for your console for almost a whole year now. Compared to those launch-day Switch 1s that some of us still have kicking around, I know that a measly 364 days is small potatoes, but it’s still a mighty long…
“Coming Summer 1996… Exclusively for the Eclipse System 32!”. As much as we all like to pretend to be insusceptible to clever marketing tricks and gimmicks, there are always those rare exceptions where we have to throw our hands up and praise a developer or publisher for coming up with effective ways of standing out…
Time was, you used to have to go places to see videogame events. I’ve been through it myself—a sweltering period in Los Angeles where I spent approximately $6,000 on Ubers and lived off Famous Amos cookies from the hotel vending machine. But it’s the 21st century, and you don’t have to deal with all that….
This is it, unambiguously my Computex highlight and also a genuine surprise. I give you the Alienware AW3926QW in all its 39-inch OLED, 5K2K, RGB-stripe, remarkably priced glory. This isn’t actually the first 39-inch 5K2K OLED on the market. Actually, I’ve already reviewed one, the LG Ultragear 45GX950A, and it actually disappointed a little. That…
The companies that attend Computex love to shove screens on things. Last year, we had tonnes of panels slapped on the side of coolers, cases, and more. This year is no different, but this time, it’s a fairly sizable screen. Gigabyte is slapping almost an entire gaming monitor onto one of its cases. The Gigabyte…
The AI giveth. And it taketh away. Or something like that. I bring you news of conflicting reports around computer sales. On the one hand, new data predicts PC sales will tank pretty badly over the next few years. On the other, Apple is reportedly doubling MacBook Neo production. So, what gives? The PC sales…
Here’s a short tech support horror story for you: you’re chatting with someone—maybe a not very tech-savvy relative—and they tell you, ‘It’s the darndest thing. I bought a whole new computer, and I just can’t seem to log in.’ Because you hate to see them struggle, you agree to take a look. But gazing upon…
C’mon Cranky, take it to the fridge. This review was originally published in April 2015 alongside the Wii U eShop’s Virtual Console release. We’re updating and republishing it to mark the arrival of the game in the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack N64 library. At the mere mention of Nintendo’s 64-bit console, many of…
