We know very, very little about the next Mass Effect game. In fact, BioWare hasn’t even revealed its name yet, so we’ve all been calling it Mass Effect 5 in the meantime. That aside, it was announced at The Game Awards 2020, and over five years later, there’s little to show for it. But Mike…
The first Final Fantasy 14 Fan Festival for the MMO’s next expansion kicks off today. We should be getting a little glimpse at a trailer, the expansion’s name, and more than likely producer Naoki Yoshida’s usual mind games with a t-shirt that’ll give some sort of hint about one of the new jobs. But first,…
Say what, now? Since Nintendo is so keen to push its dedicated Music app, we honestly weren’t expecting to see any official soundtracks added to Spotify anytime soon. Stranger things have happened though, and to celebrate Super Mario’s 40th anniversary, the OSTs for both Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 are now available…
I’ve fully entered my raiding era in Final Fantasy 14—I finally cleared my first full savage tier with the latest Arcadion raids, and I’m in the throes of progging my first ultimate (we do Looper, and then we do Looper etc). It’s been a learning process of not only what my job does, but what…
It looks like a duck, but doesn’t walk like one. The PlayStation Vita was one of the first truly modern gaming handhelds, and, sadly, the last one that Sony made apart from the dubiously portable PlayStation Portal.

A wild Takedown Notice appeared! How does that old phrase go, “you cut one head off Hydreigon, two will take its place”? It’s something like that. Either way, on a totally unrelated note, you remember that shameless Pokémon rip-off ‘Pickmos’ that was removed from Steam a few weeks back? Well, there’s another primed and ready…
Intel’s Enthusiast Channel VP and GM Robert Hallock has told PC Games Hardware that we shouldn’t underestimate the impact software improvements could have on gaming performance. In other words, that perhaps our focus as gamers shouldn’t be so laser-focused on hardware: “I truly believe that the general PC gaming market and especially enthusiasts… are significantly…
Carrying with power. Shortly after the Switch 2 launched, we reviewed a handful of cases for the new console, one of which was the Belkin Charging Case. At the time, we admired the idea, but unfortunately the execution was a bit lacklustre, earning it a score of 6/10. So now, as we approach the one-year…
I’ve spent the past few weeks testing the pants off of several graphics cards. Such is the life of a hardware writer. Alongside my 8 GB vs 16 GB VRAM testing, I’ve also reviewed the RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB and the RX 9060 XT 8 GB, and found them to deliver reasonable gaming performance…
