Imagine a situation where someone phones an elderly relative and it appears to be a favourite grandchild on the call, begging for money to help out in an emergency. It sounds exactly like the child and the problem really sounds urgent; what should they do? The FBI suggests they might want to say something like…
Okay, listen, in my Infinity Nikki review I said that styling battles—where you take the clothes you’ve accumulated and use their attached scores and tags to duke it out with an NPC—sort of took a backseat in this game, especially compared to previous non-adventure entries in the series. That’s still mostly true, until I realised…
Winning matches and grinding competitive ranks might be the main goal of Marvel Rivals, but the true draw is playing dress-up with your favourite comic book superheroes. While you can earn some cosmetics by completing in-game challenges, events, or via the battle pass, many of the most sought-after skins require units. Units are one of…
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle seems to’ve been whipped into good shape by Bethesda, a much-needed win for the studio—capturing for fans (including our own Ted Litchfield, who gave it an 86 in his review) the pure distilled essence of the action adventure classic, like a modern Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay…
The Witcher 3 was an excellent game. An all-timer game. One of the greats. But it had one fatal flaw: The total absence of Iorveth, everyone’s favourite focoist guerilla elf boyfriend from The Witcher 2. But per the third volume of What Lies Unseen—a datamined development history of The Witcher 3 from modders Moonknight, Ferroxius,…
All machines break. Those of us who have owned enough hardware over the years will be familiar with the frustration that comes with a dead or malfunctioning system, and that’s before you get to the hassle of looking up part numbers, scouring YouTube tutorials, and digging that screwdriver set out from the back of your…
Itch.io, a website used to host a heap of games—primarily self-published indie projects—was taken down briefly this morning (or over the weekend, depending on time zones) thanks to, uh, Funko of Funko Pop infamy. I’m about as confused as you, and the site’s creator Leafo, are. As posted to both Bluesky and X, the site…
I originally said that Infinity Nikki was like a dress-up Genshin Impact, but after entirely too many hours of playtime over the weekend I’m becoming convinced it’s more like a dress-up Dark Souls. Nothing has solidified that theory for me more than discovering that players have been using the Snapshot function—essentially the only form of…
Cooling fans in servers don’t have an easy life. They’re jammed into a tiny space and typically run full-pelt all day long. Should one fail, it’s not a quick task to replace them either, so anything that can be done to keep them running longer is a must. Cooling experts Arctic reckons it has the…
I’ve never been that much of a Tolkien buff, but even I know a Lord of the Rings reference when I see one. Gundalf, Bilbao, and Legsolarse are much beloved characters for many of you (I’m told), so an exciting partnership between Palantir and Anduril should be right up your street. Okay, perhaps not quite…
