Even though I’m in the land of PC hardware now, I wrote about all things PlayStation for a chunk of my early career. As such, I could not resist the siren song of this hardware project that brings the original PlayStation 1 bang up to date. HDMI output, USB power, wireless controllers: it’s all here…
If someone can hit the level cap using only dance mats, then playing World of Warcraft with hot dog controllers isn’t too out there, right? But watching Addison2k gently flicking and thwapping those dogs in his meat-only mythic keystone run is enough to make you question where you draw the line. The controllers Addison2k uses…
Here is the conversation around Arc Raiders, presented as a play in one act. Player One: “I like the PvE, and I only want to experience the PvE.” Player Two: “I like the PvP actually and I should be allowed to shoot you.” Player One: “You’re toxic.” Player Two: “No, you’re toxic.” Curtains. According to…
Euro Truck Simulator 2 has been going strong for 14 years now, and at this point I don’t think I’ll be able to cope when SCS Software stops supporting it. Driving around computer Europe in various trucks is one of the best ways to wind down after a long day tolerating existence. You don’t even…
According to Newzoo’s PC & Console Gaming Report 2026, the long tail keeps getting longer—and in gaming, its longest on PC. “In Western markets,” the report states, “titles ranked 21+ grew from 48% to 56% in 2025. More than half of PC revenue in these markets now comes from games outside the Top 20.” As…
Every time Gloomwood goes on sale I check to see if it’s received its long-promised controller support. For years the answer has been “no” or “not yet”, and believe me, on most normal days there’s a new thread in the Gloomwood Steam forums asking about it. But as of today, the answer is “yes”. That’s…
The sky is broken. Anyone who looks at it turns into something out of Call of Cthulhu. Fortunately, the authorities say they’ll have it fixed in 15 days. Maybe they’re going to turn it off and then on again? Until then, you just have to hunker down in your apartment building with your baseball bat…
Aside from helping shape what we nowadays consider an indie game, Cave Story revitalised the platformer, and specifically the metroidvania, when it hit PC in 2004. Creator Daisuke Amaya’s artistic influence is obvious on the likes of Celeste and VVVVVV, for example, but Cave Story’s real impact is how it demonstrated that one person could…
Windrose is an entirely PvE focused co-op survival game, so it makes perfect sense that players are eager to party up and run their own Windrose dedicated servers. Overall launch has been pretty smooth for the early access game—on day two on Steam it reached a peak of nearly 100,000 concurrent players, and reviews remain…
Rockstar Games was hacked earlier this month, and given an ultimatum: Pay up a significant amount of cash—$200,000, apparently—or all the stolen data gets released into the wild. $200 large is couch change for Rockstar, but there’s also the principle of the thing to consider. Rockstar refused, and the hackers made it rain with their…
