I’m a sucker for a cleverly-designed object. I’m also a sucker for a good budget gaming microphone, and the HyperX SoloCast 2 manages to be both of those things at once. At $60/£50, it’s priced in the same sort of territory as some of the cheap and nasty models you’ll find in the listings of…

In a move which my immense sense of grievance and narcissism can only interpret as a slight against me personally, the first DLC for mega-mod Fallout: London released barely an hour after I wrote a news piece yesterday chatting about it.

Look, I know we’re all playing Silksong, but if I could direct your attention to a slightly different Metroidvania for a moment—Nine Sols, Red Candle’s first and only action foray, was one of my favourite videogames from 2024, period. Contributor Abbie Stone waxed lyrical about it back in June of that year, but for some…

Sora 2, the latest model of OpenAI’s text-to-video tech, has now launched alongside a dedicated app. Besides spitting out all of the soulless, AI-generated Studio Ghibli-style animation one could ever want, Sora 2 can now generate live action clips with both sound and a frankly scary level of visual accuracy.
