Keep the tempo(po). Developer Witch Beam and publisher CULT Games have announced a release date for the lovely-looking Tempopo, a chill musical puzzle where you’re rescuing floral friends who have been thrown into disarray by a storm.

While the Palworld case continues to tick away in the background, The Pokémon Company has recently won another lawsuit against a Chinese mobile app on the grounds of copyright infringement and acts of unfair competition (thanks, Eurogamer).

Available from 18th March 2025, the T-1000 is yet another classic movie villain getting the MK treatment and, judging from the short teaser, it seems NetherRealm Studios has…
Duels in the crown. One of the most striking elements of Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection, which celebrates the 25th anniversary of the Yu-Gi-Oh! card game, is the sheer number of Yu-Gi-Oh! video games that came out between 1998 and 2004.
