Qualcomm, the company behind the Snapdragon chips you will find in many phones, Windows on Arm laptops, and VR headsets, is reportedly raising its prices starting September 1. Unfortunately, that could mean bad news for both WoA and future VR headsets. This is according to a letter sent to customers on Friday, which was seen…
Gotta buy ’em all. We are rapidly closing in on the next wave of Pokémon LEGO sets, and these look really rather nice. Alongside the Smart Brick range, The Pokémon Company is also launching another round of adult-focused sets, with the Arcanine (£89.99), Rayquaza (£119.99), and Munchlax (£59.99) builds all arriving on 1st August.

I’ve said it before and, in all likelihood, will say it again several more times: one of the best things about PC gaming is that modders can come in long after a game has been set aside by its developers, and proceed to clean up all the nagging bugs and imperfections that continue to linger….
‘Better Super Mario Sunshine Online’ is here. A new mod has just been released that lets you play Super Mario Sunshine with up to 10 players online. Better Super Mario Sunshine Online, as the brand-new expansion is called, is the work of Daytendo 64, a member of the Super Mario Elements modding community (whose projects…
New king of the high seas. We are back with our latest look at the UK physical gaming charts, and Splatoon Raiders has come out of the gate strong.

Uh oh. Breath of the Wild launched alongside the Switch 1 back in 2017. That was how many years ago? Three? Four? Surely no more than five? As it turns out, it was quite a bit longer than that, as the live-action Zelda movie star, Benjamin Evan Ainsworth, has so kindly reminded us. Ainsworth recently…
Unofficially, of course! One of the stranger (yet not entirely unwelcome) trends of recent years has been the gradual increase in native ports of N64 titles to the Sega Dreamcast, offering people a brand new way to experience Nintendo’s classics on Sega hardware. In the past, for instance, we’ve seen the likes of Star Fox…

But it’s fascinating, to me at least, how many of these things are still being released every week, and how many of them seem to actually reach an audience despite their rudimentary appearance. Last…
The era when it seemed like every second game was about zombies and the one where I played a lot of Flash games because they were free had a lot of overlap. Which is why I have fond memories of the hours I lost playing games like The Last Stand and Rebuild 2. I’ve just…
Before action RPGs relied on seasonal ladders and DLC treadmills there was Darkstone, a 1999 hack and slash where you clicked on things until they died and liked it. It had some interesting ideas, like the companion mode that lets you switch between two player-characters, the other controlled by the CPU while you took the…
